About
Hi, I’m Gleb, the person behind HandyGleb. I help make your home look better and work better with repairs, painting, TV mounting, and everyday installations.
I have an architectural education and over 10 years of experience in design and architecture. I started HandyGleb in Los Angeles in 2024, bringing that same thoughtful approach to hands-on work in your home.
To me, putting up a shelf means more than getting it on the wall. It means choosing the right mounting method, making sure it’s secure and level, and paying attention to the placement and finish. It should work well, look right, and feel like it belongs in your space.
Send photos and a brief description of your project. I’ll review the details and provide an estimate or price range, or arrange a visit if needed.

I hired Gelb to help with a TV mount, to clean out my dryer, and to replace a valve piece in my toilet. He successfully did the TV and dryer but I didn't have the right piece for the toilet so I'll hire him again after I get the correct piece. Gleb was very communicative, friendly, and productive -- highly recommend!

It was a pleasure helping you with your projects. I truly appreciate your kind words and your understanding regarding the toilet repair. Once you have the correct replacement part, I’d be happy to come back and take care of it for you.
Thank you again for your trust, and I look forward to working with you again in the future!

Gleb was fantastic! He helped me install shelves, light fixtures, and curtain rods, and everything came out perfect. He’s super professional, on time, and detail-oriented. The work is solid and looks great. I’d definitely call him again and highly recommend him if you need a reliable handyman.

I’m glad I contacted Gleb to handle the project I needed. Putting together cubicles without an instruction manual was going to be challenging for anyone but Gleb and his partner were highly skilled and were able to use pictures for reference and had no issues. I’ve used other people before that were not necessarily trained or as knowledgeable to save money, but it costs you more to get it fixed when they don’t do it right the first time. Gleb completed what I needed and it turned out great. He was also quick to respond and available to come out under 48hrs. Will definitely use him again for other projects.
Details: 2 - 5 hours (A few different projects) • Assembly • Furniture • Wall hangings • Business

I had a variety of jobs that I needed completed so I wasn’t certain where to start. I got on Thumbtack and found Gleb. I reached out and he communicated quickly and efficiently. I wasn’t expecting him to be available the same day but he made room and came over later that afternoon.
Without hesitation he mounted a TV, installed a pesky shower head and assembled a bicycle. I’m pretty good at most things but some things you want done right. All while I worked and got my kids ready for the evening.
10/10 - would recommend and use again. Thanks Gleb.

We had a great experience working with Gleb on a few difficult door repairs in our home. He brought a 2nd worker to help recut and mount a door to fit the smaller frame, patched holes, mounted a mirror, and shopped for and installed new secure door weather strips to prevent exterior debris from coming inside. Gleb was very friendly, worked hard, and stayed late and cleaned up his work area. He was also honest about the work he could do and not do, we highly recommend Gleb!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Send a few photos, a brief description, and your ZIP code. I’ll review the details, ask any follow-up questions, and provide an estimate or price range. If I need to see the project in person, we’ll arrange a visit. Before work begins, we’ll agree on the scope, pricing, and materials.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an architectural education and over 10 years of experience in architecture and design. That background helps me think through measurements, materials, placement, and how the finished work will fit your space.
