Eli The Handyman

We are putting our house up for sale and we had some tile work that needed to be done before it was put on the market.  We had 2 guys bail on us leaving us in an emergency situation.  
Eli fit us in his schedule right away.  He was so professional and on it.  He helped us get the correct materials we needed and did the job.  
It looks AMAZING and better than it ever did.  He was so polite and great to work with.  We can't say enough nice things about him and his work.

Long overdue review.  I've been using Eli for over 4 years - everything from small plumbing jobs to our master bath remodel.   His crew is always on time, clean and respectful.  I've recommended him to my family who also continue to hire him.  I highly recommend Eli The Handyman.

This update is in reply to your 7/31/2019 response to my negative review.

I decided to cancel the job that involved replacement of a valve in that I was advised it would involve opening a 2'x2' opening in the wall in back of my shower.  Upon consideration I determined that this was an impractical approach as it would involve wallpaper replacement.  If you'll recall, we discussed this. The only price I was quoted when I stated that all I was going to do was replace the trim was $95.  I was not given to understand that installing each piece of the trim I was supplying would  have a separate installation cost.  In the past I was given to understand your hourly cost was $95, and I did not imagine the job would require more than one man and one hour to complete.  I don't know why you chose to send two men. It's true that one of the young men had to drive a mile to the neighboring Home Depot to replace one of the parts that I had originally purchased.  I was charged an addition $21 for the part, bringing the actual total of the job to $301.  I called you directly to discuss the pricing of the job, as I did not think it appropriate to complain to the two young men who had no authority to respond to a complaint.  Am I to infer from your response that paying the bill with which I was presented was not the proper thing to do?  Even though I felt the bill was too high I felt obliged to pay it after the work had been done.  Eli is only one of the service providers that I have used in the past five years.  As I had no intention of requesting his services again, the offer of a $50 credit on future work was of no use to me.

Eli the handy man was so great they replied rapidly and were there to answer any questions I had. They have great prices and their work was truly amazing. They went above and beyond and left the house it perfect shape. They replace baseboards, holes in walls, doors and frames, matched paint and painted and more. They got my house looking great to sell. Thank you so your fantastic work.

I just wanted to thank Eli and his team for coming out to do a job that I needed. At first we didn't think it would be able to happen, but with some creative thinking...it was done and for the original quote price. Eli showed up on time, was very courteous, and professional. I would recommend his service to anyone in need of a handyman.

Eli and his crew came out a few days ago to put in a new vent and microwave, check the pipe for our water line to our new fridge and a dishwasher leak.
He called us to let us know he was able to come earlier than the appointment time which was great to give us the option. Eli looked at where the vent would go he explained to us about the electrical and gas line in that area and was very thorough why a new vent wouldn't work in that area, I appreciated the straight forward honesty and we moved forward with the microwave install where it circulated inside.
Eli then looked at the pipe behind our fridge explained what was happening and what needed to be replace....he was so nice and said that they would have time to fix it that day(we hadn't booked the time for it originally) , Eli and his crew did a great job fixing the pipe and valve they even fixed the wall they cut into and made sure it was cleaned up and ready for us to just paint over.

The experience overall was top notch! They were both very professional, straight forward and honest with all the projects they worked on . He even took the time to answer a few questions I had in regards to some future projects in our home .

I highly recommend using Eli and his crew they will not disappoint! I look forward to working with them again for future projects

We contacted Eli The Handyman with a fairly long list of items we needed done in our home. They responded to our email quickly and provided pricing and further information and were even able to fit us in the next business day because of a cancellation. Patricia was very polite and professional in her communication with us.

When Eli's team arrived to do the work, they were very professional and courteous. They were able to complete everything on our list (about 10-12 items) in about 4-5 hours AND their prices were very reasonable! Good quality work as well. I wish we would have called them months ago instead of dragging our feet with our honey do list.

Definitely recommend them highly to anyone else looking for a handyman service.

I am 100% satisfied with Eli!  From the beginning they were responsive, providing an estimate within 1 hour of my request.  They also quickly responded to all follow-up questions.  It was very easy setting the appointment date and time.  On appointment day they showed up on time and ready to work.  We had work done on three interior doors and a bathroom fan.  The boys did a fantastic job getting everything in perfect working condition.  They are also very diligent about cleaning up after the work is complete.  The final bill was almost exactly as quoted; no surprises.  I highly recommend them and will be sure to call them when I'm ready to lay an epoxy coating in my garage.  Nice to work with people who are responsive, on time, and do what they say they will do.

We hired Eli The Handyman when we opened our new office in Mesa.  They sent to very qualified, very polite and knowledgeable technicians!  We had them assemble tables, assemble and hang cabinets, mount some 40 televisions and then hang some pictures and miscellaneous items on the walls for us.  After giving instruction they went to work, completed the task and asked what was next!  It was a pleasure doing business with them and I would highly recommend them!

Eli showed up on time and did quick professional work.  He replaced my faucets and shower valve.  We thought the price was reasonable as well.

I was beyond pleased with the work Eli and his crew did. They showed up on time, worked fast and the job they did was high quality. They converted a nook into a pantry in my laundry room so there was some light electrical, framing and drywall work. The job was custom and they went off a drawing I provided to cut the shelves. The end result was exactly what I wanted. Also, the drywall and paint blended perfectly. I couldn't even tell the difference between the old and new wall texture and paint. I was also impressed with how professional the crew was, being mindful to keep my house clean and make as little noise as possible. They also kept me updated on progress and took care to answer my questions with patience. I would definitely hire Eli again!

I've used Eli and his team 3 separate times now. Once to hang my flat screen tv and a very large mirror, another time to hang curtain rods and some pendant lights and finally a third time to install a dog door. They are consistently punctual, are available to do work on Saturdays and always do a fantastic job. What more could you ask for?

It's really nice to have some professional and reliable go-to guys for handling projects around the house. I used to think I could do all this stuff myself but paying these pros just saves me so much time and hassle. They are worth EVERY PENNY!

Thanks Eli and team!

Scott

Pricey!! Was quoted $395-495 to texture a 9x12 wall!! This is normally a $100-150 job! Get quotes before committing to this company!

Had  to replace our kitchen faucet I called Eli, primarily because of all the great reviews he had. I called to get schedueled, he responded  and I was scheduled  2 weeks out. He kept me i8posted and arrived as scheduled and troubled shot the problem to assure it need replacement, which it did, got the faucet changed in less than an hour cleaned up an made sure it worked correctly with no leaks. I was impressed and very pleased with work he performed. He was very professional and  a very nice guy.  He's is now my go to guy for all my home repairs.

From inception to completion I give Eli the Handyman 5-stars!  I requested a quote and Patricia got back to me the same day to let me know the cost.  I was having 2 pair of vinyl shutters installed on the front of my home.  1 pair was located on the second story...the other pair on the first story of my home.  After I finally received the shutters  that I had to order, I notified Patricia that they had arrived and she scheduled me the next day.  She provided a service window from 9:00-11:00 for arrival.  My dad was actually at the house to assist with this process.  They (2 handymen) arrived at approximately 9:10 and were there for 2 hours doing the install.  They removed the old wooden shutters and replaced with the new vinyl shutters.  They even added extra 'bolting' of the shutters into the stucco by using anchors.  They sawed up the old shutters for me and placed them in my trash bin.  My dad commented that they did an excellent job.  Overall I am extremely happy with the service and the install that Eli the Handymen did for me.  I will definitely use them again for any of my home repair needs.  Thank you!

My wife and I had our front door replaced by Eli and his team. They were on time, very courteous, and did a fantastic job. I would definitely use them again.

Left a message 3 days ago, no call back. Guess he doesn't need the business.

Hey Yelpers,

It's now March 2016 and I had Eli come out to perform some troubleshooting regarding a ceiling fan.  I still love the guy.  

Here's the great things about Eli the Handyman: He shows up right on time.  It's clear from watching him work he takes a craftsman eye to detail and quality. Eli is very methodical in this troubleshooting - he should have been a research scientist.

Another great thing about Eli - he does not overbook and sub-contract out the work. He's in demand; it takes 6-8 weeks in advance to set something up.  But this is a good thing as it reflects the value placed on his services.

I plan to have Eli come back this summer to install some skytubes and possibly some kitchen work. To give you a scope of his range Eli is currently working a kitchen remodel, a whole house remodel as well as the minor things.

To me it's very important to work with trustworthy individuals.  Eli has always delivered.  He comes in at or below estimate.  And if the job turns out to be more complicated, I totally trust what he has to say.

Another thing I like about Eli - he doesn't walk into your house and start making a laundry list of all the things that could be fixed.  He just comes in and does the task at hand. No hard sales, no pressure.

So, anyway, as you call handyman and get estimates, add Eli to the list.

They did a terrific job with all of the work request - they fixed my gate, replaced all of my smoke detectors and replaced my back door - all at a very reasonable price and with excellent friendly service.  They were also great about wearing a mask when in the house or conversing.  I strongly recommend Eli and team.

While Eli's work is nothing short of fantastic, he pairs that with incredibly clever problem solving and an obvious interest in making sure the end results are  going to leave you happy.

Hey Eli, here's a list of 45 things we want to do. On this list is basically a full remodel of a master bath and bedroom and a second bathroom full remodel. Not to mention a bunch of regular handyman things like 5 ceiling fans, some barn doors, a bunch of lights etc. Eli - no problem.

Well listen Eli, we actually want this to be a giant claw foot tub with this very specific tub filler BUT also have an overhead shower. Eli - no problem, we'll do this and this. Eli, will this completely non standard faucet that we found on Etsy work? Eli - no problem.

Also - can you replace these lights in the kitchen with something using LED but dimmable? We really don't care too much what they look like just that they are better than these ones that don't work. Eli - no problem, do you like these? Sure, that perfect. Eli - great I just ordered them for you they will be here tomorrow.

Listen Eli I know we just asked you to install two new toilets and didn't bother to mention that they had bidet seats that need power to them.
(30 minutes later) Eli - I saw that, I already installed new outlets in each bathroom, we're all set.

Listen Eli, I know you said we should get that built in icemaker that is 25 tall, but it turns out I got this one that is 33 tall. Can you figure out how to make that work. Eli - once again, got it done.

I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. I see some of these negative reviews and it just sounds like they are reviewing the wrong person.

I can't think of something large or small I wouldn't trust Eli with. Even the project we just finished which had a major hiccup when we found a cracked pipe in the second bath - Eli called one of his network of pros and they came out and took care of it. (See pic for the work they did!)  It's ridiculous, the guy was basically our GC, designer, and life coach as well as the person who did the work! Special shoutout to Patricia who helps with the scheduling and is super responsive and super nice, even made us some nice candles and bath bombs for the new tub!  

Obviously we couldn't be more pleased.

He was on time and did a great job!!! I felt very safe with him in my house and he was so knowledgeable... he worked pretty fast and even fixed some professional work I had done which was failing...

Excellent service.  On time and quality workmanship in installing all my cabinet door pulls and knobs.

I had a couple of guys show up on time, and immediately went to work. They did a fantastic job and I would recommend them to anyone.

I was going to replace my old ceiling fan myself in our DIY room remodel, but I'm no electrician and didn't want the fan to come crashing down in a week lol... Eli The Handyman to the rescue! I had a quote via email in hours and they came out later that week. The guys showed up on time, took less than an hour, and cleaned up afterward. They even offered to dispose of my old fan! I'll be calling them again for sure.

Eli arrived on the earliest side of the 2 hour window they gave me and he was out in less than an hour after installing three bathroom fixtures.  His business is always welcome here.  They are always on time, always perform excellent work and always explain any questions I have with suggestions for future projects.  I really appreciate having a reliable service to call for my many odd jobs around the house.

Like many of you I read the reviews for Eli and decided to use their services.  I have had great success using Yelp for recommendations during our move to Arizona.  Not this time.
We needed five interior doors replaced in our home.  Made arrangements for the work to be done.  The guys came out and installed the five doors and handled installing A/C registers.  After the work was done the Master Bathroom door was sticking plus we had carpet installed and the doors needed to be shortened.  They came our and performed the work for the carpet and one sticking door plus, I paid to have two sliding doors modified to work with the carpet.  Things are OK until this point.
After the recent rains the Master Bedroom door and the M. Bath door expanded and are not operational at this time.  I say this is because the doors were not cut properly in the first place to allow for normal operation.  Eli disagrees and claims there is expansion and contraction in a home they cannot control  I agree with this statement however, it does not apply at this time.  If the doors were cut with the proper gap in the first place we would not be having this problem.  If his statement was accurate I would have five doors with problems not two.
Long story, shortened.  Eli offered to come back out for $65 and fix the problem.  Problem here is I do believe I do not owe them anything and they owe me two doors that work.
Will I hire Eli's crew again, no.  Will I pay his company to handle work I already paid for, no.
Eli's company is not the only one that I had to call and get a problem remedied during this move.  His company is the first that did not meet my expectations and has tried to charge me for completing a job.  It is how a company handles a problem that tells you whether or not you should work with them.  Eli's company failed the test in my opinion.
After reading the above review, I have thought about the whole situation and changed the review to one star.  I was definitely too generous with two.

Eli did an amazing job!! I highly recommend using this handyman for any and all home repair needs.

Showed up on time.  Was courteous and knowledgeable.  I had several items to get done which I assumed would take all day.  They managed to be done by lunch!  
Price was a bargain and the work was top notch.  Would definitely recommend.

We've hired Eli and his crew 4 times over the last year for various projects from hanging doors, laying tile, building a new kitchen ceiling, and more.  They have always been on time, professional, and get the job done on time and on budget.  Eli is our go-to guy and we always recommend him to everyone we know.

I have a condo in the Arcadia area that was built in 1980! All the lighting in each room had a chain with a plug.
With no attic to access he and his team had to cut through drywall and then had to repair. The kitchen and bathrooms had fluorescent lighting, the bathrooms had a drop down ceiling with plastic covers!
I also wanted a light over my kitchen sink which had to be wired from scratch!
Everything turned out really nice!
He and his team alway showed up on time, cleaned up after each time and I couldn't be happier!
I also had 3 heavy large mirrors hung.

Great work, polite and on time.  I reduced by 1 star because they wanted huge money to add on work.  Gladly would have paid some but not double.  So they lost that job.

Working with Eli and Patricia are great! They will give you a quote over email and then schedule the job. The best part is... Eli actually shows up when he says he will! Not only are they great at communicating but Eli does wonderful work. The first job was installing knobs and pulls and based on my experience then I knew he was the man to do some work in my bathroom. You have to schedule the job well in advance but the wait is so worth it based on the quality, price, and overall experience. I would highly recommend Eli The Handyman to anyone needing work done that is listed as a service he can do on the website. He will certainly be my go to Handyman in the future. Thank you Eli and Patricia for creating such a special business for those of us that are not very handy!

Inquired with Eli's about a TV mount and faucet install. Got it scheduled immediately. The team showed up, completed both jobs in less than 45 minutes and charged me less than the original quote. I will definitely use Eli for any jobs needed in the future!

Eli and his crew recently updated my guest bathroom.  They did an awesome job!  I also had them do a few smaller projects and they are great about scheduling and communicating throughout the projects.  Also, they always show up on time unlike other contractors who had done work at my home in the past.

I've used Eli the Handyman twice and both times I have been super happy. Eli and his crew remodeled a bathroom for me and it turned out amazing. They laid new tile, light fixtures, mirror, and installed a new vanity.

Reliable, on time, professional, and affordable!

I can't believe I haven't reviewed these guys yet.

I called a while ago for a quote on a dog door installation. We had an old doggie door that desperately needed replacing, but couldn't find a decent door that would fit the hole. The existing hole was between the floor and a window, and I didn't think we'd be able to fit the new door I had purchased in the space. The old door was also framed in and installed pretty poorly by the former homeowner. I called for a quote thinking I would have to patch up the old hole and cut a new hole in another location which included moving an electrical outlet. The lady on the phone gave me prices for all of the scenarios depending on what the handyman found and we made an appointment. I fully expected this thing to end up costing hundreds and hundreds of dollars and, as a result, had put this project off for a reeeeally long time.

I thiiiink it was Dana that came out (can't remember because it has been kind of a long time). He took about 5 minutes looking things over and told me that we could make the new dog door fit the old hole, which was the absolute cheapest solution by far. It took him probably about 45 minutes all said and done. It looked (and still looks) fantastic.

They could have easily gotten a loooot more money from me for a much bigger job, but instead were honest with me. If I ever need handyman services again I will absolutely call these guys. I was really impressed.

Edit - I bumped up from one to two stars - adding a star for Eli's attentiveness to my issues, which I really appreciate and which gives testament to the positive experiences other folks have described.

Eli has personally contacted me through a Yelp message to follow up on the issues I've described. I've edited the original review to include his responses in the appropriate places.  Ultimately though, I still have to rely on the feedback of my tenants, who were just not comfortable with the experience they had.  And since I cannot be there in person to handle these things myself, I must rely on their judgment.  

Original Review:
I am so disappointed I didn't get the five star experience most seem to enjoy from Eli.  

My husband and I moved to WA and are renting our town home in Mesa to some friends and a few repair jobs had built up.  I first tried calling Eli and after the phone rang like 20 times, there was finally a voicemail I could leave a message on...for a minute I was worried I had the wrong number since it rang so long.  **edit: Eli has said this has been addressed so that when they cannot answer the line due to attending other issues, like repairs, it will be picked up by voicemail earlier.** I then realized I had accidentally switched two digits when leaving my phone number in the message so I followed up with an email.  I got an email reply from Eli fairly quickly - a promising sign - confirming he got my messages and that he would be contacting our tenants to set up an appointment in order to take a look at the issues and get us a quote.

According to my tenants, the guy who showed up appeared to have no idea how to address the issues I had outlined.  The light pull cord on one of the upstairs ceiling fans was broken (it no longer responded to pulling) but the light and the fan still worked.  This guy's solution? Replace the entire ceiling fan.  Uh, what?  If you Google this issue it's a fairly easy repair to the pull switch inside the light cover (which is exactly what the handyman we ended up hiring did).  **edit: Eli says the guy did indicate the pull switch could be replaced but suggested replacing the entire fan because it was older and this was outlined in the quote.  Unfortunately, this is not what my tenants understood from their conversation with him and I did not receive the quote.**

The guy was also supposed to look at the side gate as the hardware had become loose.  He didn't even look at this.  **edit: Eli says the man he send out did look at a rolling shield door that covers the glass sliding door leading out to the patio.  This was not in the service request as we already had someone from the Roll-A-Shield company scheduled to come look at it.  This could have been a mix-up on the tenant's part, but my email request did specifically mention the side gate on the patio, not a rolling shield door. Eli says the quote would have recommended us contacting the Roll-A-Shield company for this issue, so I do appreciate them recognizing repairs outside their skill set and giving proper referrals.**

It has been over a week since the guy was out there and I have yet to hear anything from Eli or anyone else regarding the quote I requested.  **edit: Eli says he did email me the quote a few days after the guy was out there, but I cannot find it. It may have been swept up by my spam filter or Eli said its always possible they accidentally  misspelled my email address when sending it out.**  Since my tenants did not get good vibes from this house call, I contacted another handyman service for a second opinion and the guy has already been out, given me a quote, and done the repairs for a really good price.

Superb.  Prompt, communicative, professional and most of all, exceeded expectations.  Fixed a handful of very stubborn door alignment issues both exterior and interior that I've given struggling with for years.
It was time to call in the in the pros, and I've now found my 'handyman guy' moving forward.
Thank you so much Eli, it was a pleasure!

We contacted Eli The Handyman to install two new toilets and an under-sink water filter. Patricia was very courteous in answering our questions and setting up our appointment. We were very happy with both the price and the service we received. Two people came - Joshua and Vladimir and they were very timely - able to come a little earlier than the originally scheduled time, which worked out perfectly for us. We found them to be courteous, polite, friendly, professional and very capable. Everything went efficiently and smoothly, and for the water filter, they were also able to remove an old saddle valve fitting that punctured the copper pipe before the shutoff valve and install a new shutoff valve for us. We had been concerned about that valve and were very happy it was properly taken care of. Based on this experience, we'd definitely recommend Eli the Handyman.

I am impressed beyond words at the job Dana did at my house today. We had him remove a phone jack and patch up the walls; the texture is so close no one will ever know the phone jack used to be there.

We also had two TV's that we wanted to hide the cords to. In all of his wisdom, he recommended we add outlets behind the TV's instead of running wires down the wall...GENIUS! He took his time, was patient and did such a fabulous job.

I can't wait to find more things for him to do around our house!

Eli the Handyman is awesome, professional , on time and reasonable. He did many odd jobs for me and can probably do almost any home repair job you can think of.  

He's going to be a hot commodity when people find out about him.

I had two light fixures I needed installed to my vaulted ceilings. They were able to get this done so quick and clean! Thank you so much, I would definitely recommend Eli The Handyman.

We had an issue with some water seeping under the French doors in our master bedroom and onto the floor during heavy storms. I researched a handful of different handyman services and contacted them all online. Eli and his team were the first to respond (some didn't respond at all), and in little time, we had an appointment scheduled.

Eli was prompt, professional, and friendly. He found the most creative and least labor-intensive solution to the problem, which didn't at all involve the door sweeps, which I originally thought might have to be replaced. In other words, he didn't do unnecessary work to jack up the charges.

He bases his fees on what it takes to get the job done, not for the time spent, which I think is great, because I felt what he charged for his work was very fair.

A good handyman is hard to find, and I believe we've found one that we can trust to get the job done. We would highly recommend. Thanks, Eli!

I've use Eli the Handyman a few times now and have never had a bad experience. Communicating with the office is quick and easy, technicians arrive on time, work quality is good. They are not the cheapest guys in town, but they can handle most projects and their rates are fair.

Eli came over to complete some work that I just did not have enough time to finish. Setting an appointment was simple- I sent an email, a few photos, and by the end of the day I was able to set days for the work to be completed and an hourly quote. Eli and his assistant came on time and actually completed the work faster than expected, which saved me a little cash. They even cleaned up everything after they were done. This company is trustworthy, professional, they do a thorough job, and they do so in a timely manner. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Eli again, there's nobody else I'll turn to. 5 Stars.

Eli came on time and was very professional. Hung and 80 inch tv, and hid wires flawlessly with very little drywall repair. Doggie door installation looks perfect.

He also hung three pendant lights over the island. Wired and cut holes. Looks fantastic with no drywall repair or paint needed.

I called to have them come out and fix the wood trim around an exterior door. They gave me a quote over the phone that was extremely reasonable, and scheduled for it to be completed the next Friday. I got a call from the guy sent to do the job (not Eli) and he told me he wanted to replace the entire door, seals and all the moulding, and that it would cost about the same but take a few weeks to order everything (there's no way it would cost the same. It's a metal door and the door alone is what they quoted me originally). He also told me to call the office for more details. When I called the office to get an explanation why the work wasn't completed, all I was told was that the Handyman recommended replacing everything not just the wood trim. When I said I didn't want everything replaced and didn't have a few weeks to wait since the house was going on the market, I was told well, that's what the handyman suggested.

I'm not sure if the job was too small or if they were trying to up sell me, but I've had two other handymen look at it (who never mentioned replacing the whole door) and the only reason I went with these guys was because the initial quote was less expensive and they were able to do it in a time frame needed. Now I have to push back my listing date and try to reschedule with one of the other handymen. Total inconvenience.

My husband and I were really pleased with the service we received from Eli the Handyman. They were easy to work with when getting something scheduled and they came on time and got our dog door installed quickly. They did a great job, even repainting the area in the kitchen where they had to do the cutting and the paint chipped. We are already in the works to get some more services scheduled. Very happy to have a handyman to call when things need to be done around the house!

We needed someone to pull some drywall off of some walls and a false ceiling up in our attic that was left up there when we remodeled our house in 1995, because we are blowing in some new insulation and that would have really hindered the efficiency of the blow-in. I couldn't do it myself because I'm in a wheelchair. After contacting two people who I know well but not getting any kind of timely response, which was disappointing, I turned to Yelp and found Eli the Handyman.

After reading the reviews I sent an email on 10/22 with our needs. Well within the promised 24 hours I got a reply and had an appointment scheduled for 10/25 for Vladimir to come out and give me a quote! He came and was extremely nice. He climbed up in the attic and checked things out. The quote for the work was very fair and I scheduled the work to be done on 11/4.

Dana called on the 4th and said he was running early and that he was on his way. (Nice!) When he showed up and saw the extent of the work, he determined that it was a two-man job and that it was under-bid. (Not so nice!) He didn't throw Vladimir under the bus, but this task was a bit unusual and required more work. He called Eli and they determined a higher quote for the work, but promised that they wouldn't exceed it, and if it came in lower as they completed the work, they would adjust accordingly. We were disappointed and a little skeptical but understood. They couldn't get us on the schedule again for another 8 days, so that was disappointing, too, but understandable because it involved two of their crew.

Today 11/12 came around and again I got a call from Dana saying he was early and on his way. (Nice!) He prepped the area for the task, and when Vladimir arrived, they blitzed it and got things done very quickly and thoroughly. And, they honored the original quote!!! (Extremely nice!) Dana and Vladimir left the place in great shape, especially after hauling out a boat-load of drywall. Both guys were great to work with and we will not hesitate to call on Eli the Handyman again. By the way, I need to give Patricia in the office some recognition, too. She was very nice, too, and communicated in a timely manner.

I second Natalie B. in her review...Reliable, on time (early!), professional, and affordable.

We contacted Eli The Handyman about the possibility of replacing our bathroom fan with one that included a heater and replacing some quirky LED track lights we'd had installed four years ago in place of fluorescent bulbs.

Because of all the electrical uncertainties, we tried first to contact a Yelp-recommended electrician, Top Notch Electric. Dale replied to our questions regarding an estimate for the project that his fees were $70 per hour, so we paid him his one-hour fee to come to our home in order to view the project and provide an accurate estimate. He sent a text the following day with a confusing, extremely high quote. When I asked him to follow-up with an email that included more detail, he went dead. What a wasted of money that was for an estimate that was unintelligible!

BY CONTRAST, I went to Eli's site, ensuring that this kind of work was covered by his firm, uploaded photos of the work we wanted done and got very precise quotes (for rather less than Dale at Top Notch Electric had confusingly indicated). We accepted the date for the installation, received a reminder call the afternoon prior, and welcomed Eli on the day of the project at the precise hour specified. He and his assistant executed the project perfectly and vacuumed up afterward. I just love his work, and his business system even more!

I strongly recommend that you consider Eli The Handyman for your upcoming home remodeling/repair projects.
