I have an exterior-facing furnace and water heater closet where the original plywood doors and framing had decayed and misaligned over time. Given the atypical dimensions, the project required a high degree of precision and custom woodwork to meet building codes. I hired Vlad for the job, and the process was seamless. We coordinated entirely via text, where we established a clear and reasonable project quote. Vlad's workflow was methodical: he handled the demolition, sourced solid wood blocks, and performed the cutting, sanding, and priming (essential for San Diego's coastal humidity), and painting before the final installation. What I appreciated most was the transparency. He provided a clear "cost of labor + actual materials" breakdown, so there were no hidden fees. The final result is high-quality craftsmanship that functions perfectly and is clearly built to outlast the original doors and framing. I highly recommend Anikin Handyman for anyone seeking a reliable professional who values hard skilled work and honest communication. read more

Vlad did serveral projects for me and did a great job! I highly recommend him for any project you might have!

Vlad did a great job! He was responsive right off the bat, and was easy to work with. I'm a Landlord, and Vlad was able to work with my tenant on scheduling and access to the project. He ran into one problem, but his problem-solving skills on site proved to be exceptional! Well hire again if needed! read more

Vlad did a fantastic job installing my pergola. He arrived exactly on time, came fully prepared with all his own professional tools, and got straight to work. This is my second project with him and what really impressed me was his incredible attention to detail. He didn't rush the job and made sure everything was perfectly leveled, aligned, and solid. The quality of his work is outstanding, and he is a consummate professional throughout. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and detail-oriented handyman, I highly recommend Vlad. I will definitely be calling him again for future projects! read more

It's not easy finding a good handyman, which is my only hesitation writing a glowing review. It's even more difficult getting on the schedule of a good one, and that they are also punctual, personable, do good-to-great work, and go at a decent pace. Vlad is all of those things: with a few days notice he was able to get our schedules to match, arrived on-time with every possible tool needed, and understood what I was hoping to accomplish. We started by clearing out the living room together, but Vlad would have done everything himself. I was reorienting the room and wanted to clean under the rugs, so we emptied that out and I cleaned while he went on to installing some bathroom fixtures after both had been painted - if he had any questions about placement he asked, otherwise everything came out level and looks great. Installing the new TV and stand was the primary thing I wanted to accomplish that day. The stand was heavy and allegedly only needed its feet installed. Sure enough we open the box and it's in 100 pieces. Vlad wasn't phases, he went about systematically emptying the box, laying out and matching parts to ensure everything was there and undamaged (a Wayfair miracle if ever there was), consolidated all the trash into the box, then meticulously assembled and leveled the stand. You'll see by his other reviews that his work mounting TVs is epic. This house is a rental so I wanted the TV on a stand at the right height. This is a man who knows how to carefully unbox and setup a new TV like his own, with Gorilla gloves on. One thing I did observe that everyone should note: when in doubt he reads the instructions. The bathroom mirror has an unusual setup for the hooks, he doubled checked it before installing. Once the TV came out of the box he double-checked the instructions for the feet before installing them - again they have an unusual option to place legs outside or inside and a height adjustment where you move screws on the leg and then push-click the legs-in. I would have just jammed it in to test, Vlad paused and confirmed before doing it right. Friendly, competent, focused, clean (himself, his work, and his work area after finishing) - Vlad is a handyman unicorn. If you need help finishing that project I can't recommend him enough. read more

Anikin Handyman - TV stand and TV - Handyman Near Me

I was looking for a high quality handyman to take care of a wide range of things in my new place that needed replacing. Vlad was quick to respond and give me an immediate estimate for the list of tasks (which was a bit more affordable than the other quotes I received from other local handymen). He was very accommodating with his schedule and we were able to find a good day immediately. I appreciated that he's self made and passionate and honestly, he did not disappoint. So far, everything he's taken care of has remained in excellent condition. Some of the tasks included replacing my microwave, installing two new smoke detectors, mounting the television, installing a new vanity light, and repainting the entire bathroom. If you are looking for someone reliable and skilled, I recommend Vlad. read more

We hired Anikin Handyman (Vlad) to fix our sliding door, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very first and quick response on Yelp, his communication was top-notch--quick, clear, and professional. He followed up via text, kept us in the loop, and made scheduling super easy. When Vlad arrived, he was extremely polite and respectful, even taking off his shoes before walking through our home. It's rare to find someone who cares about the small details like that. What really impressed us was his attention to detail and commitment to getting everything just right. He's a true perfectionist--he checked, double-checked, and triple-checked the work to make sure it was solid. He also provided receipts for any parts he purchased, which shows his honesty and transparency. Vlad is the kind of handyman you feel totally comfortable having in your home--skilled, trustworthy, and just a genuinely good guy. We'll absolutely be calling him again for more projects, and we're already recommending him to friends and neighbors. If you need a reliable, detail-oriented handyman, Vlad's your guy. A++! Bonus: his prices/rate is very competitive to others we checked with, and he provided a quote/estimate in advance which saved us a lot of time. read more

I needed a 45"x61" dual pane piece of glass installed. The window companies didn't want to do it because I had purchased the glass online.
