Handyman Brings Efficiency and Intelligence to Trade
HANDYMAN EFIM KOSTYLEV CAN TACKLE ANY CHALLENGE your home might conjure up, thanks to his diverse skillset and experience. He listens first, prices fairly, then builds with his head and his heart.
Efim's adaptability is one of his greatest assets, as he tailors his work based on budget, customer needs and the project’s unique requirements. With a background in building and mechanics, Efim can:
- weld a railing
- hang lights
- build furniture
- repair your cupboard
- troubleshoot your broken fridge.
Efim adds: “My skills are much higher than a typical handyman."
Trained as an artist in his youth, Efim brings the same sense of proportion to a welded gate that he once brought to paint and canvas. “I loved studying art as a young man, but once I started working building things, I never looked back. I really love it.”
For Efim, every fix, from small to big, simple or complicated, creates a ripple effect of goodwill. He experiences the most satisfaction from this social aspect of his work: “When you help someone, you get energy back,” he says. “Making someone’s life better is good for your soul.”

I first hired Efim about two years ago after I had moved into a new place. He hung new lights, curtain rods and art for me. Since then, I have hired him a half dozen more times.
He’s such a sweet person. I like that he is so good at what he does, and he is so conscientious. He cleans up after himself. He charges a fair price. He’s efficient, reliable and dependable. I’m really good at constructive criticism and I have none to offer Efim. I have referred Efim to eight to ten of my friends. I would highly endorse him for any needs you may have.

I met Efim through a friend of mine about a year ago. This chap is just a bona fide professional. He's probably overqualified for the work that we give him. I get the impression that he's got some kind of engineering skills because I gave him things that were technically complicated to accomplish and he did them seamlessly, effortlessly. Efim is really a gem and we're lucky to have him available to us.

Efim has done a bunch of work for me, my mother and my brother. I have used other handymen and they just slapped things together. Efim is thoughtful and thorough. He can knock off a whole list of little things you need done around the house, but he also has a great eye, and has even hung art for me. He’s a very handy handyman! I found him though a friend who hired him to help her move.
Efim has become my go-to. He’s very fair price wise. His communication is great. He gets back to you really quickly. I feel fortunate that I found him.

I’ve have hired Efim for several jobs, and I’m consistently impressed with the quality of his work. He’s careful, mindful, and takes real pride in what he does. I’ve recommended him to my neighbors in the office building, and they keep bringing him back for light construction projects as well—which says a lot.
Efim is punctual, very communicative, and offers competitive pricing. He’s also willing to create package deals if you have several tasks, since he is skilled in a verity of tasks such as construction, electrical, metallurgy just to name a few, which makes working with him even more convenient. He presents himself professionally, keeps a neat and clean job site, He communicates clearly and effectively and most importantly he listens.
I’ll be hiring him again soon to create a new sign for my office, and I can confidently recommend him to anyone who needs reliable, quality work.

I have nothing but praise for Efim. He visited us on multiple occasions. He did some electrical work, installed a kitchen vent, installed a gate motor. He was here today to reinforce the gate. He has a variety of different skillsets. I think he may have an engineering background.
He’s also very friendly, clean and efficient. He takes time to explain things. His pricing is fair and upfront. He charges an hourly rate, but if you have a more specific job, you can ask for a flat rate. While English is not his first language, Efim is very eager and intellectually curious to learn English, and American slang.
