Highly recommend!! Thorough professional and the work was done effortlessly and on time!!

Thumbtack customerSep 2026

We couldn’t be happier with Fabián’s work! We hadn’t given much thought to how we wanted the lights set up, so he described available options and highlighted factors to consider like curb appeal and power supply. Once mapped out, he diligently mounted each light, ensuring security and consistency. He even talked us through what he was doing as he worked to make sure we understood his reasoning! We’ll definitely be hiring Fabián for future projects!

Poor communication, no estimate upfront and suddenly ghosts the customer. Stay away from this handyman. Luckily, found another pro who quickly filled in to do the job. This ‘handy guy’ promised to show up on the weekend and stopped replying to all messages a week before scheduled appointment without providing any reason.

He was great in his work.. I was facing water pressure issue from last 1 year, which he fixed. Really appreciate his work.

Fabian did an amazing job! He was super professional, and quick. Great work!

Thumbtack customerSep 2026

Fabian helped us with several tasks including waterproofing bathroom and kitchen countertops, adjusting doors and installing fans and few other shelves installation. Everything was done as expected. He even went beyond and finding areas to seal in bathroom. He was super responsive and quality of work was great. I would recommend him near Hartford area.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic experience! He was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure I was happy with everything. He checked in with me throughout the project to make sure I liked the placement of everything before moving forward, which I really appreciated. He was incredibly detail-oriented, took his time to make sure everything was done right, and even insisted on wiping everything down and cleaning up before he left. He was easy to work with, respectful of my home, and the finished project came out amazing. I would absolutely hire him again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and thoughtful handyman!

Fabian was able to quickly resolve my issue (snaking a refrigerator water line between floors). He was easy to communicate with via text and in person and has a friendly and candid manner. His fees are fair. I would consider Fabian for future projects.

Thumbtack customerAug 2026

I messaged Fabian on Thumbtack yesterday, and he was able to come out right away today to help me hang my new Frame TV. He did an amazing job—it looks absolutely fantastic! He was professional, friendly, efficient, and made sure everything looked perfect before he left. I’m so happy with how it turned out. I will definitely be using Fabian again for other projects around the house and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and skilled!

Thumbtack customerAug 2026

I hired him for plumbing, installing shelves and couple of other handyman things. He worked diligently and with precision. I was under the impression it should be quick tasks, but given the details he got into- I couldn’t agree more. Thank you.

Thumbtack customerJul 2026

From our initial communication, I was impressed by his prompt response time and flexible scheduling. He provided a fair and competitive quote for mounting the TV right away. I scheduled an appointment, and he arrived precisely on time. Upon arrival, he worked efficiently and professionally, demonstrating strong technical skill and expertise. He also offered helpful suggestions and practical tips throughout the process. Overall, he did an excellent job mounting my TV. I will definitely reach out to him for future projects.

Had a great experience, pro was patient and knowledgeable when it comes to his craft. Will definitely be using him for future projects!

Thumbtack customerMay 2026

Fabian was very professional and extremely thorough. I hired him to assemble a cabinet that had, it seemed like, a million pieces. He handled it like the pro that he is. I’m pleased with the result. I would recommend him for any project around the house.

Dianne J.May 2026

He tackled a challenging job of removing large mirrors. He did a great job and gladly did a few more jobs we added to the list. All work was done professionally. Will definitely hire him again to do tasks we are no longer able to do ourselves.

Thumbtack customerMay 2026

Great guy all around. He came quick. Was honest (thought I needed a new pump and I bought one). Instead he fixed the problem with the other pump and made it run perfect. Saved me 800 dollars! Will hire him for all my projects that I need help with!

Thumbtack customerMay 2026

THIS GUY IS A NO CALL, NO SHOW!!DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME BECAUSE HE WILL!!

Amelita M.Nov 2025

Fabian is very skilled on what he’s doing. He’s very focus and pay attention to details. He communicates really well with us and shares his opinions to improve the process. The lights he put on our home are sooo beautiful. It’s really exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend him to our friends and definitely hire him for our next project. Great job Fabian👏🏽
