We recently had to have a tile work done over a concrete slab that will perfectly level with the rest of the floor. As you know, tiling can be really tricky and I didn't have much high expectations if it was done by a handyman. BOY WAS I WRONG! 1. Eldar replied to me so quickly and promptly. He came to see me the next day, started to prep the super uneven concrete, just work work work. Great attitude, humble, communicative. 2. Job needed to be done over the course of two days and he didn't even request for payment on the first day. For this, I paid half of the estimate he gave me and material fee. Who wouldn't? 3. Work came out better than I expected. WAY better, and for a fraction of the cost other people gave us. Yes, in this economy I would like to support as much local small business as possible, but we live on a budget too. Also please note, I KNEW the grout color wouldn't match the original since (a) the floor is original (we were lucky to even have spare tiles), (b) i'm just lazy like that and (c) our original grout is dirty af and it can be easily changed :P Overall, very friendly and humble character, great communication and keeps you posted. HIGHLY recommend!! read more

Eldar is responsive and a good communicator. Despite speaking very elementary English, he is proficient with translator apps to communicate. He prefers text over calling for this reason. His rate is very competitive and he is respectful of the house and workspace. read more

We had a great experience with Eldar. We had some water damage in our ceiling that caused a crack, but it was a bit of an unusual situation as our ceiling is plaster. We needed someone to fix the crack and repair/repaint the ceiling. Eldar was quick to diagnose the issue and was thorough in laying out our options for how to fix it. He did great work and was very communicative about the project and his progress. He also charged us much less than what we had anticipated the cost to be. I'm already gathering a list of projects around my house for him to tackle next. read more

I can't recommend Elder and his company, Reliable Repairs Handyman, highly enough. He is one of the most honest, hardworking, and skillful people I have met since moving to Palo Alto. Although Elder's spoken English is limited, there was absolutely no issue communicating with him--he uses technology like ChatGPT and translation tools to ensure he fully understands every job requirement. The result? A perfect job, delivered with precision and care. Having immigrated from another country, I've seen too many service providers in the Bay Area charge exorbitant amounts for relatively simple jobs--whether it's home repairs, plumbing, car or bike work--often with a mindset of "charge the rich as much as you can." It's disheartening. Elder is the complete opposite. He is sincere, polite, and professional. He never tries to upsell or bluff. His pricing is fair, his work is impeccable, and his attitude is refreshing. In a region full of inflated quotes and questionable ethics, Elder is a rare and precious exception. Honestly, I hesitate to write this review only because I know how busy he will become after more people discover him! But he deserves the recognition, and I truly hope others will experience the same integrity and craftsmanship I have. Elder is now my go-to handyman in Palo Alto. I trust him completely and feel lucky to have found him. read more
