Hired on Thumbtack

Here’s an expanded version of your review for Aleksei: I recently moved into a new house and needed help installing artwork on my walls as well as setting up some electrical fixtures like my TV and other gadgets. I found Aleksei through a service provider who frames art and paintings. The framer recommended I use Thumbtack, which is how I came across Aleksei. From the very first interaction, I could tell he was professional and detail-oriented. He reached out promptly and asked all the right questions—what type of framing we were hanging, the type of mounting hardware we had, and other specifics. It was clear he wanted to ensure we both had a solid understanding of the scope of the work before starting. When Aleksei arrived, he was right on time. He was polite, friendly, and went straight to work. What immediately stood out was how meticulous he was. He took great care in measuring the walls and frames, ensuring everything was perfectly aligned and proportionate. The minute he hung the first piece of art in my room, I knew I was dealing with a true professional. Throughout the day, Aleksei remained laser-focused, tackling multiple tasks with precision and care. He didn’t cut corners or rush the job—instead, he approached every piece of artwork and every fixture as if it was the most important item in the house. By the end of the day, my walls were beautifully decorated with my favorite artwork, and my home truly felt like it had come to life. The attention to detail and effort he put into making everything perfect made a huge difference. Not only did Aleksei do a tremendous job, but he was also incredibly easy to talk to. He was personable, respectful, and genuinely seemed to care about doing the best job possible. If you’re looking for a skilled handyman to help with anything at your home or office—whether it’s hanging artwork, installing fixtures, or other general tasks—I wholeheartedly recommend Aleksei. His professionalism, expertise, and friendly attitude make him a standout choice, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again for future projects. Alex Lopez

Aleksei was amazing. Our overhead microwave died last night, and less than 24 hours later I have a brand new one installed where the old one was. He was able to schedule a same day installation, was punctual with his arrival time, and had the entire job completed in 90 minutes, for less than the cost of Best Buy installation and all of his competitors on this app. I am extremely impressed with his value, punctuality and professionalism, and I will use his services again in the future as he told me he can handle any handyman service I might require. Thank you so much Aleksei!!!

Exceptional attention to detail, and also careful not to leave a bunch of dust everywhere. The person I hired before just let all the drywall dust go everyone, so it was nice to have someone who cared enough to make sure that didn't happen! Everything is level and even and perfect. Thank you!
