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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Eli The Handyman - Some Before And After shots of work Eli did for us. He did a lot more than this too! - Handyman Near Me

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. read more

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. read more

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... read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Eli The Handyman - Handyman Near Me

See all

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. read more

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. read more

Eli The Handyman - Handyman Near Me

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Work done was acceptable, though it will take a repeat visit to correct the mishung towel rack and towel dispenser that is falling off my wall. The patch work was as expected, though a little pricey given the size of the repair. Be prepared to have this be an all day event, to hang a TV, hang two towel racks and a TP dispenser and patch 5 2x6" drywall holes took from 8am-245pm. The main gripe was how the job was handled afterwards. I told the guy that did the work to just send me an invoice and I'll take care of it. Between that day 11/29 and today I've had: 2 invoice payment requests A text message 2 phone calls All demanding payment. I understand as a small business you don't have unlimited funds but I've worked with contractors before and I've never been hassled for payment like this in any respect, especially not over $341. I really hope that treating me like a scumbag that doesn't pay his bills was worth it. I had requested an estimate to have a window busted out, the header raised and a sliding glass door installed that quoted $2,700 in labor. I was going to ask you to do that next week, but I will have to vote with my wallet and go elsewhere. So to summarize, yes they will do the job, and do it reasonably well. I was not blown away by it and I had to clean up the mess (there was overspray all over my electronics from the texturing) but it was reasonable. God forbid you don't pay him IMMEDIATELY ON THE SPOT. So there you go Eli, I just finished paying your invoice while I'm in the office. You have been paid your $341 immediately at the cost of a future job and a good review. read more

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 read more

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. read more

I called Eli for the first time to help out with a few jobs I had been dreading. I needed a new garage door opener installed and I also had a shower that had a steady drip. Two jobs that I had felt just about anyone would get it right no matter who I hired. A third job however was to install a new range hood but instead of venting back into the house like my current hood, I wanted it vented outside. This had me nervous but I decided to go with Eli based on his Yelp reviews. I have to say that all three jobs were executed perfectly. He brought the range vent up through my cabinets and into my attic where he went up through the tile roof. Certainly not a trivial job but the final result looks like it was installed when the house was built. The venting was taped off perfectly and the holes he drilled perfectly fit the tubing. He showed up on time to the minute and did a great job cleaning up all of the dust and debris from the cutting and drilling. The shower cartridge was a 15 year old original so thank god I did not attempt to do that myself. He ended up having to drill it out as it was locked in tight. I am really happy with the all of the work and he and his co-worker were respectful of my home and I felt very comfortable with them in my home. I work from home and I'm on the phone most of the day and hardly felt like they were there. I will certainly use them again. read more

Came out to my house and installed CAT5 cable in a residential home. No one else would come out for under 1000$ (my total was 300). He came out and fished 6 lines and fixed a wall after having to cut it due to blockage. Long story short he did a fast professional job. He also cleaned up after and was courteous . read more

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. read more

My husband and I have been using Eli The Handyman exclusively for over 5 years for services and upgrades on our properties. Based on our satisfaction and referrals, he has also serviced countless friends and family members....the feedback is always the same. "Eli and team are simply fantastic.... The last Handyman I will ever hire." TRUSTWORTHY, efficient, talented, friendly and affordable. For me, allowing contractors into my home was always uncomfortable. (Where do I hide the valuables, will they invade my privacy, etc.) With Eli, this thought never crossed my mind, after our first service appointment. He personally supervises all jobs and ONLY employes a hand-selected group of like-minded, talented professionals who share his same work ethic and integrity. No project is too big, or too small and his work stands on its own. I feel blessed to have found Eli The Handyman and know he'll do great work for you, too! (Lastly, it doesn't hurt, that he's one cool dude!) Thank for everything you've done for us, Eli! Above and Beyond is an understatement. read more

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

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! read more

I hired Eli based on a recommendation from a local Realtor. I had quite a honey-do list of things around my house. He came and gave me a quote for the items. His price was reasonable, and I immediately felt comfortable with Eli. He arrived on the work day on time. He worked through my items quickly but without rushing. I felt he respected my time. He also cleaned up thoroughly, which is a rare thing I find today. After he arrived, I had a couple more items I needed done. He gave me a quote for them, and added one to that day's work. He returned another time to complete the other task. I would recommend Eli to anyone who needs a wide range of handyman tasks completed. read more

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.

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. read more

Took a couple of weeks to get the appointment, but the guys showed up exactly on time and completed the work in a timely manner and at the price I expected. What I also found helpful is I received a call the business day before to confirm (in my case remind me) that I had the appointment. Very happy with the service and will definitely use them again. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Needed to find a handyman to help me fix up a short-sale home I purchased in Mesa. I live in Washington state, so don't know anyone there. Received recommendations for handymen from my realtor and a couple other people, but none of them were available the week of Christmas when I was there. In desperation I hit the internet and found ELI THE HANDYMAN via his website. Best find I could have hoped for! E-mailed Eli, then we spoke on the phone the same day. He was prompt to e-mail a written bid, and was set up to take payment via credit card. Nice when you're from out of town as I am! Eli proved to more than I could have hoped for. He lined up a house cleaner, painter & tile crew, plus he and Dana (his employee) met me there Saturday morning at 8:00 AM to get the ball rolling. He took Sunday off (don't blame him!), then he and his painter worked all day Monday (Christmas Eve...amazing!). The rest of the week he worked tirelessly replacing ceiling fans, repairing water damage, installing new doors and more things than I can remember. Eli even got me a discount on the paint. I give Eli my highest recommendation. He's ethical, knows how to do most anything, is fair in his pricing and has great subcontractors to call in for specialty work. Couldn't be happier in my overall experience with Eli the Handyman. He's now in my phone contacts, and I will call him every time I need work done. Lee Ford read more

There comes a time in every mans life when he has a home project that he cannot do or knows he will mess up. That is when you need to call Eli The Handyman! Rudy the handyman came to our rescue! He replaced a garbage disposal and fixed a running toilet. The work was completed quickly, was done correctly and he cleaned up when he was done. The price was right and I am sure I'll be calling them again. read more

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. read more
