I hired Yaliseev for a major project which involved restoring and refinishing all the wooden exterior doors and window frames including the garage doors. He was patient from the very beginning even though I changed stain color and brand three times unt I found the one I liked. He fixed molded and water damaged areas on garage doors and balcony doors. He didnt rush in and was super responsive. The project took around 6 weeks to finish. I have around 30 doors and windows and outcome turned great. Do not hesitate to hire him for any wood projects.

Vitalii was very knowledgeable about the repairs I need in my kitchen and bathroom. I had multiple faucets changed out as well as a new shower kit, head, handle and spout replaced. He is very responsive and set a time for the repairs quickly and even spent extra time on a harder to replace item. He’s an honest, hard working family man who can do a lot of your home repairs with quality work! A+

My kitchen sink has been leaking and need repair. I am so glad that I found Yeliseev works! He is super good and lots of attention to detail! He worked super hard without a break during his visit. He replaced the rotten board with new board and reinstalled everything, now my kitchen sink area is like new! I couldn’t be more happier ! I definitely recommend him to everyone. His work is very professional and comes with a very reasonable cost.

Vitalli was great help in a emergency water leakage incident in our house from the walls. As first time homeowners we had no idea what was the source of water leakage during a heavy rainy night. I reached out to him for initial investigation and he helped find out the sources and explained possible fixes and future improvements. He gave honest recommendations on what we could handle on our own and what needed professional fix. He promptly fixed the leakage with high quality work and shared images to verify the project is complete. It was very smooth experience and I would highly recommend hiring him for such projects.
