Sergey is excellent. Professional, knowledgeable and Reliable.
Fare pricing.
1950 sink in bathroom attached to the wall need to be removed.
Then replaced with bathroom vanity and sink.
Communication was excellent.
Came to review then confirmed price.
I will use for future project that involve plumbing. Wish je did other work like floors etc. He only does jobs involving electrical and plumbing.
I was nervous about getting someone off yelp. But, his reviews were excellent.
I can confirm all compliments about him are accurate and true.
Thank you Sergey
Great job. Will contact you soon for my other project with putting in a new kitchen sink and cabinet unit.

We used Zabivay's services couple times before and always happy with the results. This time Nick came to fix our dripping shower. The whole process took him about 25min. He left no trace after job was done. Price was adequate. Will definitely use them again in the future

Excellent service. Arrived early to my home to replace my kitchen faucet. He explained everything to me and was very kind. After several months it is still working perfectly and no leaks. The price he quoted was the price I paid. I highly recommend him and will use him again if the need arises.
Arrived at the exact time scheduled and installed my new AC quickly and efficiently. My second time using this service for handy work. Great communication and pricing.
Eugene has done a great job! He was exactly on time, wore shoe covers, and was nice and polite. He spent around 30 min, connected and hid all wires, clean the dust, and left. That's what all professionals should do. For my next home project, I already know who I'm gonna call. The price wasn't the cheapest I got, but definitely worth it. Highly recommend!
Sergey came out on a holiday to repair a bathroom leak. His pricing is fair and his work was excellent - a rare find in NY plumbers!
ZabiYAY!
Five years ago, they fixed the kitchen sink pipe for me. To this day, it is still going well without any problems So I called Zabivay when I needed to replace the kitchen faucet. A faucet I bought came with a part that didn't quite fit perfectly under my kitchen sink. But Eugene worked around and solved it. YAY! I love my new faucet and it's working beautifully.
He's quiet, friendly and kind to answer my questions. Also, he wore a mask and shoe covers. Very respectful about covid protection.
Excellent plumber, extremely reliable and quick! I had a leaky kitchen sink, I was able to explain the issue over the phone and with a simple picture via text he was able to identify the problem. He was at my home within 30minutes and fixed the problem in less than than 40 min. I would highly recommend this plumber, he was fair and upfront with pricing. Only fixed what needs to be repaired unlike other plumbers who try to upsell you and tell you you need more than you do. If I ever need a plumber again he would be the first person I call.
The company did a good job of replacing a bathroom faucet and a spout in the bathtub. Also responded timely to messages and acted in a professional manner.
Sergery came in within 3 hours. He wore mask, gloves and shoe protectors. He was professional. Unfortunately he was unable to unclog my bathtub after using a hand crank snake for 30 min. He tried and it's not his fault. No fee needed.
Tips: There is a minimal in-house call like $160 if job is done. Also negotiate pricing while on the phone making appointment. Sergery stated he didn't determine the price. Third, tell them all the job you want to be done, so they can prepare appropriate tools.
Sergey fixed out leaky faucet and leaky tub spout. He changed the faucet and shower head. Everything was done right in a great amount of time, glad we found this service on yelp!
Great job very professional clean up after job was done very fair price highest rating
Sergey was the utmost professional contractor. He was responsive and was fully detailed on our project. We had a bathroom change that needed to be done and he made sure the project had everything needed. We did have project changes that occurred and he was very accomodating. I wouldn't hesitate to refer or use his services again.

Sergey was great! He gave me 2 quotes online, one for the electrical work I needed done and 1 for the plumbing work. He showed up on time and completed the electrical work successfully, and he also explained what he was doing. I appreciated learning more about GFCI outlets. He worked on the plumbing but wasn't able to repair my tub drain lever or my shower diverter. He didn't charge me for the plumbing since he wasn't able to fix it. I appreciate his honesty ! Highly recommend him as an electrician if you have any electrical work that needs to be done.
Sergey is a pro. Had some old fixtures that had a rats nest of painted over wires behind them and he sorted it out. Very hard worker, professional, and affordable. Thanks Sergey!
Wow these guys are awesome! My toilet stopped filling and needed to be repaired. They came an hour after I called and were done in 40 minutes. I highly recommend!
Prompt, courteous and did an excellent job replacing ceiling fan. The website for the installations said that it would take approximately an hour but they were able to do it in 45 minutes.

Nick did an amazing job.
He came for a consultation the same day we called and returned for the job three days later. He installed our dishwasher very quickly and with minimal disruption even though he had to cut through wood cabinets to fit the dishwasher in. He even recommended we replace a corroded pipe we hadn't noticed and did it for a low price. We asked him to come back to remove old window gates and put in three in-wall ACs a week later. Again, he was very efficient, he got the job done quickly and professionally. Rates are very fair.
Definitely recommend.
Nick did an incredible job in our apartment. He cut out a cabinet and routed our plumbing in a very complicated setup. For a very unconventional job, Nick far exceeded our expectations, and at an excellent price. Will definitely use again.
Great service came twice. Couldn't fix my flushometer but was very nice and tried everything.

Sergey is awesome! He helped me fix the leaking sink in five minutes. Very quick and professional work. Also the price is reasonable.Highly recommend to anyone!
----update-----
Due to his awesome work fixing the pipe, I hired Sergey again next day to install the water filter system. He not only fixed my rookie mistake, but also did an excellent work drilling the granite and assembling the parts. I'm very happy about the results:)

Sergery and his team went above and beyond! They were on time every day, paid attention to detail and cleaned up beautifully before they left. If they saw something that needed fixing, they appeared the next day with the supplies to fix it without even being asked. I will definitely be hiring them again :)

When I called, I didn't expect same day service, but I'm grateful I was able to get someone to come out 40 minutes after my phone call! I bought a tv mount and neither I or my bf could figure out how to make sure it was secure (since it is in a baby room) Sergio showed up in a mask and even put on shoe covers upon entering my house. I directed him to my baby room where I wanted him to mount the television. He asked me the height I wanted the tv I showed him and he got to work. In about 20 minutes, he was done. He showed me how to take the tv off (should I need to) and how the mount worked. He was fast and efficient his work was neat and the mount is sturdy. I will definitely be calling him in the future!

The extension hose for our kitchen sink became damaged over time so it needed to be repaired or the entire faucet replaced. After checking Yelp reviews I chose Zabivey Handyman. During our initial call Eugene suggested that I purchase a replacement faucet and have it ready for him when he arrived. We scheduled an appointment the next day and I was quoted a fair price. Eugene showed up on time, worked quickly (even with an extra complication), left no mess for me to clean up, and did the job expertly.
My only suggestion is for him to answer his calls more profesionally. Hello, this is Eugene at Zabivey Handyman. How may I help you? or something to that effect because Hi! or Yes? is very off-putting - I should know who has picked up the phone so that I'm sure I didn't dial a wrong number.

HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Showed up on time, fixed my issue quickly and he was reasonably priced considering he showed up within 3 days of my inquiry on my schedule AND a Sunday morning. Like others mentioned, he put on booties and completely cleaned up after himself. He also was kind enough to look at some electrical issues I was having and made some recommendations for my contractor when he returns. Generosity of skill and spirit get a fist bump from me every time and repeat business if needed!
On a completely different side note and a jab at myself - when I saw what he did and how quickly.... I'm loser and I need to learn basic handyman skills.
Nonetheless, call him. Fair, fast, courteous, clean and excellent work. Don't be cheap. Pay for the customer service package with our small businesses not just the work. It's worth it. Great business model for others to emulate!

Sergey came in and checked our broken shower but unfortunately the parts that he has don't match with our shower valve so he needed to go to the nearest store to buy one. He even called me just to confirm if the price was okay with me. He really did a good job. He is very professional, trustworthy and polite. Contacting the company itself was very smooth and easy. Will definitely recommend this place to everyone. Try them and you will not regret it. Reasonable price too. Thank you for your service. Keep up the good work.

He replied with an estimate right away, came right on time as agreed! Brought all the tools and hard installed our countertop dishwasher. No leaks no hassle no problems! He did all the work in about 30 minutes! The most affordable and reliable person in the market! I recommend him for any plumbing job. Its been about a week since it was done and no complaints! Will definitely call again when I need it.
I contacted Zabivay to get a price quote on some home services I needed. Lui C., whom I believe is the owner, messaged me back and I gave him a list of work I needed done. He gave me a price quote that was more than fair and sent someone to me within two days, with no problem. Eugene arrived and began working immediately. We had him do the following:
1. Mount three TVs
2. Assemble two sofas that were 58 long
3. Install two shower rods into stone wall
4. Install two bedroom curtain rods
5. Fix the lock on a door
He did all of this in just under three hours! I was amazed and would hire him for any future jobs I have. Highly recommend these guys, as I feel super relived to have had this work done so quickly. I was worried about having so much to do and no one to do it and this company saved us! Five stars!!! Did I mention he did this all in three hours? Awesome.
Wow. Sergey is THE BEST. Me, being an idiot, dumped the cup of rubbing alcohol containing my diamond earrings right down the kitchen sink while I was doing dishes. I have absolutely no tools, and even if I did, would have no idea how to take apart the pipe to see if it's in the trap.
My boyfriend finds a wrench, (I have a wrench?!?) it's too small. Hardware stores open past 8pm in Forest Hills? Non-existent.
So now I'm panicking. Search on yelp for plumber and up pops this 5 star place. And it says they have a super fast response time! So at 9:05pm I send a message and get a pretty much immediate response. And he'll come out right away!!! Literally 20 minutes later he's ringing my buzzer.
Super nice and considerate, putting plastic coverings on his shoes, gets right under the sink, AND FINDS MY EARRINGS!!
This is a great establishment. Sergey is a great person and I will definitely keep this place in mind if I ever need any services. Thank you so much!!

I contacted Sergey through Yelp and he responded within 10 minutes. He provided a quote for the replacing a kitchen faucet. While a bit higher than the others, I thought it was fair and booked him given his solid Yelp reviews. He showed up on time and finished the job quickly. The installation looks good and the faucet is functioning well. All in all, a great process and results. I would definitely call on him again.

I had a toilet emergency where our toilet flushed but required 2-3 flushed for the water to go down. After each flush, it took a few mins to come back up. Our new tenants were upset because the toilet was malfunctioning and they requested it to be fixed at around 6pm.
I called a few places and Eugene picked up. His shop was closed but he still came out of his way to help fix the toilet. After diagnosing the issue, we had to replace our toilet because the part needed to fix the issue is no longer sold. So... Eugene took apart the toilet, went to Home Depot, did not find the toilet we requested for so he drove to another Home Depot to pick one up. He installed everything cleanly and quickly. At last minute, he came to our rescue and got everything we needed.
I double checked the toilet after the work and it was functioning perfectly.
I highly recommend Eugene. He is a very good guy and I would definitely come back for future work.
Eugene, I can't thank you enough!!
A couple of weeks ago, I hired Eugene to install curtain rods, hang artwork, and repair an entertainment unit. He was excellent! He was professional, knowledgeable, patient and very creative. I highly recommend him.
Sergy provided an honest quote and was on time. The job was a leaking pipe and toliet that was wobbly. He even fixed securing the pipe. Even if that what is supposed to be done. I got other quotes and no one brought that up. I certainly felt he was looking out for my best interest
Timely, thorough, clean, careful work, at a great price.
Eugene came to my place and immediately put on booties. Good sign. He was careful about making a mess, worked quickly, did a great job, and cleaned up after himself.
Would hire again, would recommend to friends.
Based on Yelp reviews, fair pricing and communication I decided to hire them to replace a ceiling fan with a new one.
I had to change the time of the appointment by a few hours the day prior and they had no problem with changing the time.
He helped me move the dining room table out of the way as well as boxes to get him a 6 foot ladder.
The job was done in less than an hour and the fan works great!
Thanks for a great job!

Amazing service, I'm really shocked at how awesome of an experience I had!! I never leave yelp reviews but his service really deserves a great review!
My kitchen faucet was leaking and I needed it fixed ASAP because it was leaking to my downstairs neighbor. I called on Saturday and he asked me to text some photos of the sink and pipes so he can assess the situation, figure out what parts were needed, and give me a quote. After I agreed to the price, he showed up the next day on time. He quickly took a look and realized the issue wasn't as bad as it looked in the photos, so he lowered the price which I thought was an honest and respectful thing to do (other plumbers might have stuck by the original quote and took advantage).
Within minutes of arriving, he set out to Home Depot to buy the new faucet I needed, and even sent me photos and prices of options while he was there to make sure it was what I wanted! So awesome.
When he got back 30 min later, he went straight to work and finished within 25 minutes. If I ever need another plumbing job, I am 100% calling again!
Wow so kind and knowable, great service thank you!

I want to warn folks thinking of hiring Zabivay for plumbing handy work. Here's the summary:
* hired Zabivay to install drain systems on 2 ikea sinks. The agreement was to install the drain systems so the vanity drawers would close.
* He said he had done this many times and was no problem. We were away and had another
contractor install the sink and vanity. We were not able to see the final, completed work.
* He charged me $540 for this work.
* We immediately rented out the apartment for 2 months and did not hear complaints from the
renters. After they moved out and we walked through, we saw the problems.
* I contacted Zabivay about the work and he was not willing to correct the work.
* I had to hire another handyman, who did excellent work (Dave, at Elegant Design) to fix this
work. He explained this was plumbing 101:
- buy a longer pipes so the drain system would be farther back, so the drawers would close
- this was not $540 worth of labor.
I've attached photos of Zabivay's work and Dave's corrected work, as well as my email conversation with Zabivay to show our communication and Zabivay's willingness to correct his work.
For plumbing handywork, I would not recommend Zabivay. Call Dave, he does great work and charges fairly.
Great guy... Came on time, wore gloves, gloves mask and booties upon entry. Had a leak that i couldn't figure out. Water from the 2nd floor leaked into the first floor. I went ahead and cut the sheetrock on the first floor to locate the pipe. The position in which the pipes were located were extremely difficult to see let alone view.
He did a few tests and found that that the leak in fact is not coming from the pipe which i was surprised to hear but im not a plumber so ill leave it to the expert to conclude. We went back and forth upstairs and down running the faucet, the tub, the shower, the toilet... No water was leaking. We finally splashed some water onto the tiles which i didn't even think about doing. Low and behold, the water started to leak.
Appears the tile came loose where the water ran in between the grout allowing it to flow into the 1st floor kitchen. Not knowing what the problem is has to be the worst part. Even worse than the solution. Either way, problem solved. His main focus is plumbing so i didn't expect him to repair the tile. Will need to contact someone else for that.
My only complaint would be the initial visit. He wasn't there for more than 30 min and the trip charge was a bit pricey considering only troubleshooting was done and no repairs but i can't fault him for that as i knew the cost going into it and agreed.
I would use him again in the future if i needed plumbing work. He knows his stuff, is prompt, reliable and answers his phone.

Called and was told he would be here in 15 and he did!!! Had to have my old kitchen faucet replaced, it seemed like science to me and he finished it within 30min. Reasonably priced!!! Totally recommend!!!!!
Eugene is total pro and has my full recommendation. Had to install multiple TV mounts into thin walls as well as a few larger shelves. He didn't install anything that would potentially damage the walls, which I appreciated. Sometimes your ideas just don't work.
More impressive was all the custom work he did to install a hanging entertainment center (weighing about 90 pounds) into a sheet rock wall. This required tearing into the wall to build a custom mount bc my building didn't have the right studs. Things can get pricey quick, but you get what you pay for. So pay to have things done right!
With Eugene you're in great hands. He's punctual, hard working, and doesn't take short cuts. All important things for those home projects.

I've worked with Eugene twice now, once this past week. First off, he is very responsive. I typically hear back from him within the hour, if not within a few minutes, and that was consistent even when he wasn't available on a particular day.
He has wall mounted a desk for us, anchored furniture, and hung some simply (but heavy) artwork.
He has always come prepared with tools and extra hardware and depending on the project, has had a nice balance between using parts that came with an item versus suggesting other approaches. Everything he's done has been exceptionally secure and straight/level, even months later.
Highly recommend!
He did a fantastic job. Showed up within 24 hours, did the job in under an hour (even with having to leave and come back to pick up a spare unexpected part) and charged a very reasonable price. Wore a mask and shoe covers the whole time. Very professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Highly recommend this guy.
Used him over 2 years ago, and he has not changed . His quality of work and efficiency is made me hire him again after all this time. He did a great job, mounting my tvs and lamps into my wall. He was quick, courteous and made sure that the mount and everything was secure before leaving. Still FIVE Stars !!!!

Eugene arrived exactly when he said he would and did the job quick and correctly.
Thank You!
Eugene was showed up right on time to fix my broken sink drain. He went to go get some parts and finished in just about an hour. I appreciate punctuality because I can plan out my day and get on with it once the job is done. His price might be on the higher end but he won't disappoint.

I rarely ever write a yelp review but given Eugene's extremely professional service, I just had to! I requested a service from Eugene to mount a tv to a wall as well as cut a kitchen countertop. The business responded extremely quickly, I would say within 5 minutes for each of my inquiries AND it was on a Saturday. All of the other companies I contacted were either booked for the next 2 weeks (quite ridiculous) or provided me a much higher quote. He performed everything very swiftly and was very knowledgeable as he answered all the questions I had. I was going to build the island myself with the countertop pieces he had cut but when he arrived to my apartment, I asked if it was possible for him to complete the project for me for an extra charge. He built the island for me and provided advice on how to level and stabilize the island at no extra cost!! Eugene is an extremely hard worker and I will definitely recommend him to anyone who wants a fast, clean and professional service! I am COMPLETELY IN LOVE with the island, exactly how I imagined with very little to no explaining required. He is hands down going to be my handyman for any other needs moving forward.
Eugene promptly called me to let me know when he'd arrive. He is a pleasant person, who is less talkative (which is great)! He got straight to work and finished up a few things relatively quickly. He was so fast that my friend came in and gave him another job same day. He will be my go to for handy work moving forward.

He came with fairly short notice, was efficient and did a great job! I will be using him again for other handyman jobs that might come up. His price was reasonable for what I requested. He was done in about 45 minutes! Thanks Eugene!

Sergey was prompt and because I have an older tankless toilet , after initial repair , it required him to make a couple of trips to the hardware store to fix my problem. He also adjusted an item on my tub plumbing. I can only add to the list of accolades for him: Outstanding. Will use again.
When I called, they told me that they were on the way to another job but once they got an idea of how long that would take, they would message me. They then showed up in 20 minutes as they said they would. Located the source of the leak within 15 minutes and fixed it quickly in a very professional manner. No drama, very polite and reasonable. Seem very knowledgeable.
I am satisfied with the service provided.
I hired Eugene to do several things I wasn't capable of: patch the holes in the walls and ceiling, and after paint both. He did it perfectly, and extremely fast. Moreover, he helped me to assemble the new furniture that just arrived, and all for reasonable price! The money paid were worth the time I saved and quality I received. Really appreciate your help, Eugene!
Eugene at Zabivay is fantastic! He came by our house to give an estimate on work we wanted done, and when we approved it he just pulled out tools and started working. He's friendly and very capable, and he works quickly and efficiently. He got way more done in a few hours than I thought one guy working alone would be able to do in one day. I didn't need to hover over him at all--just gave him a list of things to do, went over the details, and left him to get it all done. He's opinionated in that useful expert way, meaning that when I asked him to do a couple of things a certain way, he shook his head, explained why that way wouldn't work, and came up with a better way that worked like a charm.
Scheduling appointments was easy. His rates are shockingly low (I told him to raise them) and he didn't nickel-and-dime me over hardware (someone else who quoted me twice as much for the job also wanted me to pay $0.75 per wall anchor--seriously?). I will definitely hire him again for future handyperson jobs, and I recommend him highly!

Eugene was great. To the point, responsive, and fast. The water valve to my toilet was corroded and he cut, soldered, and replaced it quickly. Seriously quickly, I had barely gotten my daughter up from her nap and having a snack before he already had the water back on. I had called another guy the week before and am still waiting on a response. I called Eugene and he came in 1.5 hours, just like he said. No 5 hour window!!! The price was not cheap but not outrageous either; it was fair. He is in NYC, and he does deserve compensation for a job well done!

Sergey was awesome. We had a broken bathroom ceiling fan. Sent him photos and got a quick response, even came to fix the fan on Labor Day. No complications, showed up at the time he said he'd be there and did the work. $220 for labor + $25 for the new fan. Thanks so much!
Eugene from Zabivay, did an excellent job assembling our ikea wardrobe. First of all, he was two minutes early, which is a minor miracle in the handyman/home service world. Then, he asked a few simple questions about placement and actively listened while explained exactly where I needed it to go in the backyard. After that, he worked diligently and had it assembled in just a few hours. Finally, he charged less than half of what I had from other Yelp businesses.
Thank you Eugene.
Prompt, fast, and fixed an outlet and a garage door opener in less than 45 minutes! Also has flexible payment options including Venmo which was v. convenient. :) Thanks Eugene!!
I highly recommend this company!!! Response was very fast. I booked an appointment right away. Got the job done. No fuss. Great job!!!! Going forward I will definitely be calling them every time I have something I need done in the house.
A fantastic service! Highly recommend.
Sergey was on-time, polite, clean and did great quality work. The cost was reasonable (and very competitive compared to other vendors) and the quality of the work has stood up in the weeks since Sergey did the work.
For reference: I had a wax ring replacement in our bathroom. Great work all around!
Quick response, fast work, and reliable. Reached out Sergey on a Sunday night as the electricity was not working in just my living room. He came right then and there and fixed it and made some recommendations. The next morning the same exact thing happened. He came the day after, as he needed to get a part for my breaker box and found out which outlet was overloaded, and fixed that as well. Thank you! Definitely recommend and will be reaching out to him with any similar issues.
Had a good experience and found the pricing very reasonable for a straightforward bit of plumbing work, though in the end I had to go with someone else due to timing changes on my side. They were very responsive and easy to discuss/talk through the task. Would definitely contact in the future, including for electrical work.
Eugene is fantastic - works quickly and efficiently and he is VERY responsive to scheduling appts, etc.
Eugene fixed a wobbly ceiling fan on the same day that I put in a request for a quote on Yelp. He was very pleasant and professional. He ran into traffic on the way over, and even had the courtesy to let me know he was running a few minutes late. Thanks!

My toilet started leaking suddenly from the pipe valve. I have one of those older tankless toilets. Sergey asked for a photo and stayed true to his quote. He was courteous, professional, responsive and efficient. The next day he came back when there was leaking from the toilet handle and fixed it immediately. He arrived when he said he would and even texted to let me know he was on his way. It is tough to find this kind of professionalism and work ethic in nyc and for that he gets a perfect rating from me.

I have had the pleasure of using services by Serge. And I have to say he is very prompt, professional, and very skilled. He does the work so quick and makes sure everything is running properly. And answered questions I had on other projects I will need hIs services on. I would definitely recommend him ! Very satisfied!!
He was punctual and promptly took care of my shower issue. I don't know what more you could ask for. I will definitely call them again if I have any issues.

Eugene was awesome! I needed fixing if light fixtures, dimmers and outlets that weren't working that my contractor screwed up with. He responded to my message right away and said he could be at my apt in 2 hours for a free consultation. He was prompt and so efficient and really knew his stuff! He brought his tools and was able to start he work on the spot! He fixed everything that I needed to be fixed on about an hour. He is going to come back next week to put up blinds and install a new door bolt lock for me. He is so reliable, professional and affordable. I'm going to recommend him to my family and friends and my neighbors. I had a bad experience recently with other contractors - if only they were all like Eugene!!

I had a broken light fitting and was unable to turn it off. He gave me an estimate, arrived on schedule, and charged exactly what was quoted even though he had to go to a local hardware store to get an extra part. Would definitely use him again.

I contacted Zabiway through Yelp to install new plumbing under the new kitchen sink. Sergey gave me the estimate after seeing pictures that I sent him. He did flawless job. He is a good communicator, very reliable, professional and fast. He is highly skilled and takes pride in his work. Highly recommended to anyone who needs help.
Eugene responded to my message within 20 minutes, and was at my door shortly after.
He was ready so fast that I hadn't made up my mind about upgrading the outlet, so he agreed to come back when I was ready.
Would definitely hire again.
Found Eugene here on Yelp. Set up my appointment over Yelp messaging, super easy and he was immediately responsive. He showed up exactly at the agreed time, and installed my ceiling fan perfectly. I will be calling this guy for work around my house all the time now.
Since we wanted to install a new dishwasher, we looked for a plumber through yelp and found Sergey. He gave us an estimate after we send him some photos. He was polite and did a great job. Price was fair. Thank you Sergey!

I needed a quick response for a water leak, and Eugene was super responsive! I had him come back a week later for some drywall patching and painting, and again he was excellent. He is a great handyman to have around!
Great service! Tim came within 3 hours of my phone call for help. He texted 1/2 before hand as a heads up that he was on his way. Tim was respectful of my house and took his shoes off as soon as he came in. My bathtub was clogged and after some snaking, a shampoo bottle cap came out. Thanks again Zabivay. Tim was professional and courteous. You guys deserved the 5 stars.

Amazing service at a very affordable price. Sergey comes in, gets right to work, and makes sure everything is in perfect working order before leaving. He also communicates before the project better than any contractor I've ever dealt with. We've used him to install ceiling fans, sconces, lights, and fire/Co2 alarms and everything came out perfect. We will absolutely be using his services again.
I needed an old window A/C unit removed (and taken downstairs and outside in a walk up building) and a new one installed. He was quick to reply to emails and in and out for the actual job. Very respectful (to me and my apartment) and efficient (seriously, so fast!). I would def recommend and I am sure will use him again in the future.

Zabivay was a great handyman, did everything as requested, and was very pleasant throughout the appointment. Will use again!
I asked for a quote late one night and he was able to come the following afternoon to do the job.
Extremely disappointed! Made a reservation for Saturday at 3:00 through Yelp messages. Everything worked out well. Unfortunately, Saturday came, and by 3:15 there was no handyman around or a call/text message saying where he's at. Nada. At 3:25 I called the owner, who then said 'let me look at the diary (already a bad sign), then said that his handyman is stuck in traffic (in NJ)..ok, it happens- when can he be here? Ammm- not today (or today at 8:00 pm- but who's doing work at 8:00pm??). I did get ab apology and was offered to have a visit on Sunday morning but I already had plans and needed someone for Saturday (which thankfully I found at the very last minute). Bottom line- unprofessional!
These guys were in at 9:25 & finished at 9:55 to fix a leaky shower head & faucet. Gave me a quote of $175. Had couple of quotes of $375 for same repair. Job well done & professional. Did not tell me I needed to replace the. Shower head or faucet when it was not needed either. Thanks to yelp as well.
Excellent job, right on time, very fast taking down and putting up blinds. Very competent. Will hire again!

My husband and I hired Zabivay to fix a problem with our shower (the water never got hot) a few weeks back. We directed him to the wrong pipe to shut off water which resulted in a surprising flood! He tended to the problem quickly and thoroughly, and handled our freakouts with patience and compassion, and without defensiveness, though it was clearly not his fault. Now, after 3 years of tepid showers in the dead of winter, we can finally take hot showers!

Came on time. Took measurements. Re screened my window the same day. I was satisfied with the work.
Eugene was right on time and very professional. He securely hung a medicine cabinet through marble tile in the bathroom (he came prepared with a drill bit for marble). He also hung 3 ceiling fans securely. We ran into an issue with 2 loose electrical boxes, but he ran to the hardware store and got the parts we needed. With some thought, he was able to fix the issue without having to cut into the ceiling sheetrock and finish the job. Highly recommend, and will be using him for future jobs.

I've called Eugene twice in a month for different electrical projects. Swift response, reliable, prompt, and he's a perfectionist, too, which is just fine by me. Highly recommended!
I liked The quick response to my inquiry and scheduling of same. I was very impressed with Zabivay that was assigned to perform the work. His knowledge about other projects was very impressive. I would like to have Zabivay perform any of my future projects.
Thanks for a job well done.

Flush-o-meter valve went haywire and water wouldn't stop running. Water was pouring into the hallway. The super was MIA, but Z came on a Sunday within 15 minutes and fixed the valve so that we didn't even have to replace it. Great service.
I reached out to several plumbers to get a quote and he was the only one to respond so promptly. He messaged back within a few minutes and by the next morning at 10am he showed up and fixed the faucet in my shower. Awesome!

Eugene pulled off a miracle with my pluming issue under the kitchen sink. The outlet pipe to the main sewage line was rusted and rotten and the threads were gone. I suggested he cut the pipe and attach some kind of metal/rubber link. He found one that fitted the pipe perfect and completed a clean job. He is pretty good with responding. Reasonably priced, but you will have to negotiate. I used him for other work in long island and he did a good job there as well.

Highly recommend his work. Had to exchange all of my 2 prong outlets to a 3 prong and he gave me a very reasonable quote and did his work swiftly. Thankfully they also service part of Brooklyn and I'm very happy with my outlets.

He did a great job. I needed help installing some ceiling hooks and a hammock chair (into a ceiling that is extraordinarily hard to drill into) and he did all of it within an hour. Super professional and efficient!
Eugene did an excellent job on all the tasks I needed done around my apartment. He mounted a large TV in the wall and snaked the cords through the wall so they weren't visable. He hung a large picture on a wall with concrete behind it, hung two curtain rods, and mounted a large entry way shelf. I didn't have a piece that he needed to hang the shelf, so he went to the closest hardware store to get it. Everything looks great! I would definitely use him again and recommend him to friends.
Was prompt, courteous, went out of there way to get the job done. I picked them because they gave the lowest price but there service was great also. Came last night and then came back early morning to finish. Super Job!
