Hi, my name is Mykhailo — a reliable handyman with over 10 years of experience in electrical and home repair work, I’ve helped homeowners, tenants, and families take care of the little (and not-so-little) things around the house — always with attention to detail and respect for your space, professionally and honestly — from small fixes to larger projects.
My specialties include:
• Light fixture installation or replacements, outlets, dimmers, switches, minor touch-ups
• Appliance installation and removal
• Furniture assembly, TV mounting, shelves, blinds
• Minor repairs, caulking, touch-ups
• Reliable “turnkey” handyman solutions
I treat every project like I’m working in my own home — carefully, cleanly, and with a genuine desire to help.

I’ve hired Mykhailo twice now and have had a great experience both times. He’s helped me hang several picture frames, install a large/heavy mirror, reinstall an electric heater, and install a baby gate. His work has been sturdy and well done, and he’s reliable and communicative about his arrival time. He also comes prepared, is happy to pick up additional supplies if something unexpected comes up, and is very respectful of my home (including always taking his shoes off without being asked!). I’d definitely hire him again and recommend him for projects around the home.
Details: 2 - 5 hours (A few different projects) • Installation • Living room • Wall hangings • Home

Mykhailo is a highly skilled and versatile handyman! I initially hired him to replace an outlet, but he also took care of a few additional issues quickly and efficiently. He fixed a dishwasher error code and replaced two light switches with ease. This was incredibly helpful, and I’m glad to have found someone accommodating, sincere, and professional for future projects.
Details: Repair • Replacement • 1 switch or outlet • Condo or Apartment

Mykhailo did a great professional job repairing / installing two ceiling light fixtures - having to deal with very old messed up wiring for both. Both jobs were completed beautifully and with personal care. I'll definitely hire Mykhailo again, and highly recommend him.
Great experience working with Mykhail (Mike)! He was so kind, communicative, and detail-oriented. His extensive electrical experience was a lifesaver.
We had a bunch of electricial needs leftover from a complete reno of my mom's apartment earlier this year, that the general contractors were not able to solve. We spoke to a few electricians but ultimately went with Mike because of his fair and honest approach.
Mike was confident and honest with us, and he had the experience that helped to solve every single problem! He was meticulous in his work and cleanup.
We really loved working with him – we are already planning on having him do some work in our place next. Highly recommend working with Mike!!!
Thanks a lot! I really enjoyed working with you and I’m glad you’re happy with the results. Hope to work with you again!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is fair and based on the scope of the work. I don’t charge hidden fees — everything is transparent. I sometimes offer discounts for multiple small jobs done on the same visit. Estimates are always free, and I’ll let you know upfront if parts or materials are extra.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I usually start with a short conversation to understand the customer’s needs. Then I either visit the location or ask for detailed photos or videos. After that, I provide an honest estimate and explain the steps of the job. Once everything is clear, I schedule the work and keep communication open throughout the project.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in electrical engineering from Ukraine, where I studied the technical and theoretical side of the trade. In addition to my formal education, I’ve worked over 16 years in the field doing hands-on electrical and home repair work. I’ve also learned directly on job sites in New York, working with licensed electricians and other professionals. This combination of strong technical education and real-world experience allows me to deliver safe, reliable, and efficient results for my clients.
