Askarov Handyman

A little while ago we had two of our counter tiles break, leaving quite an eyesore in our kitchen. We needed to get the tile fixed pretty quickly so we bought replacement pieces and started contacting handyman services to install them. Aksarov Handyman service was the first to reply to our inquiries and was able to get to work fast enough to meet our time restraints. He finished the work very quickly and did a really great job. Now the break in the tile is no more and the new tile installations blend with the old tiles perfectly. Really appreciate his work and his help!

I needed to mount TV on wall and assembly furniture. Uchkun is very punctual, he finished his work on time with no scratch on the wall, cleaned up the area. I highly recommend this professional company

Silly me thought it was a good idea to use the counter to break apart frozen burger patties. But thankfully Uchkun came to my rescue! He was quick to respond and to get me scheduled in. He took his time and did the job carefully. Will definitely be calling him again for future home improvement projects.

Really great service! Showed up on time, was very friendly, and took care of everything we needed. Highly recommend, thank you so much Askarov!

I called to get estimate. I told him what I needed and he just hung up and didn't call me back. Don't waste your time with this guy. Some people need to work on customer service skills.

Uchkun did an amazing job installing an window AC unit for my father. The windows were painted shut in the house and he was able to get them open and set it up perfectly. We are so happy with the results. He was so nice and professional. Will definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a handyman. And I will absolutely be hiring him for future projects. Thank you so much!!

Your response is inappropriate. Great, I get your rate is $95/hr with a 2-hour minimum. Where is the estimate? Can you do the job? I have a photo. Do you want to see it to determine the estimate or will you come in person? There are many unanswered questions and your response leaves me to believe you are NOT INTERESTED! So don't answer my request!

Uchkun is a hard worker, responsive, reliable, and works quickly. He is also good at figuring out how to assemble things. He handles big or small jobs with ease. I would highly recommend him for installing tvs, assembling equipment, and any other handyman needs.

Unhku was hired to repair 1) loose screws in an attic door, which the attic ladder was attached to, and 2) loose IKEA shelving at my home. I assumed he would be able to fix it since he was charging the most at $95 per hour relative to another handyman. He sent one of his guys - Sam.
Sam just started to drill bigger holes into the attic door without coming up with a game plan. No inspection, nothing. He assumed the big screws will hold the attic stairs to the door but didn't realize how big of a hole he was creating. He used butterfly anchors for the door. I was thinking why would you use butterfly anchors into a door if there's nothing to latch on? I can understand using butterfly anchors for the drywall so you can latch on to the back of the drywall, but a door? I was worried and provided ""wood putty"" to him so he can fill up the big holes he created. He didn't sue it. I asked him if it was safe, Sam said yes.
On to the next assignment - the IKEA shelving. My IKEA shelving was loose, and I wanted it fix. He just moved the shelves around. I kept on asking him if we can fix this issue, but he didn't really understand or ignore me. Sam's English wasn't great, so it was extremely difficult to communicate with him.
I gave up and had some extra work to fill up the time. I was worried they wouldn't know what they were doing. I asked Sam to drill some IKEA cabinets into the walls and install hooks. Guess what? My IKEA cabinets are crooked and not leveled. Sam was nice, so I felt bad complaining about the job. I kept on telling him to level the IKEA cabinet, but he didn't understand.
I reached out to Unhku to let him know my concerns and if 1) the attic ladder was safe and 2) can I fix my loose IKEA shelves. He came to look and told me my wall was not leveled so he won't be able to fix the shelving.
After they left, I pulled down the attic door/ladder so I can store some items in the attic. Guess what - the attic stairs came apart from the door. I informed Unhku. He told me to reach out to the manufacturer. Like seriously? What a professional! No apologies.... nothing.
He takes my $, breaks my attic door, expects me to fix it, and tells me to reach out to the manufacturer. No dignity. What if I was an old senior? Does he leave me hanging too? This was the 1st time I hired a contractor/handyman who didn't own up to his work. I read a similar issue with an individual giving him a 2-star review on his page, which I wish I saw earlier. I even asked them to give me a quote on creating a stair storage under my stairs. I am glad I didn't hire them. What if my stairs collapse and he goes ""go ask the manufacturer""?
I basically paid them $210 just to punch some screws into the wall, which I could had done. They didn't fix anything I originally hired them to do. No invoice, no apologies, no empathy. Seriously no invoice - makes me wonder if they have insurance. If you want a basic job, sure hire them and pay them a premium. If you want a detailed and complex job - I would look elsewhere. You won't be able to effectively communicate your needs.

Highly recommend Askarov Handyman services. Our home was recently burglarized and Uchkun was able to show up the next morning and install a new door for us. Extremely professional, polite, and a great person to be around. If you live in LA county, you won't find a better handyman than Uchkun.
