Steve's 5 star ratings are for a good reason! He was easy to schedule with over email and provided a quick, fair estimate for a bathtub re-caulking. Steve arrived promptly and quickly identified the issues with the previous job and proposed different solutions (materials, colors, long-term solutions, short term fixes). Steve checked in with me at every step of the process to make sure I was okay with each decision and I am more than happy with the job he did! The tub looks much better than before. He also fixed my front door that was sagging free of charge! Would highly recommend Steve for any home repair. read more

Steve's awesome! Needed some artwork hung as it was not routine. I also needed some shelving put into a closet built in. Steve was very thorough and detailed in assessing my needs and took pains to ensure he was doing what we wanted, precise and accurate with his execution. He also charged a very reasonable rate, which is increasingly rare these days. I will definitely be asking him for more work soon. Thank you Steve! read more

When moving into our home, we lucked out when someone recommended Steve. He said "yes" to a very big job...repurposing part of a detached garage into a voice over studio. We had a tight timeline and other workmen on site that he had to coordinate with. He was a flawless voice of integrity and professionalism throughout the entire process. His 'sense for things' is incredible. I have no doubt that he could build an entire home from the ground up if tasked with it. He handled all of our extremely time-sensitive deadlines with calm and poise - and his workmanship, across the board, is as high quality as it gets. I cannot more highly recommend Steve. read more

He really cares and that's hard to find .... Matt D read more

We can recommend Steve without any hesitation. Steve performed a major project for us, and specifically putting in a number of recessed lights. We were very pleased with the results. Further, Steve is a very pleasant, professional, and upfront individual. Steve also worked on a number of other smaller projects, and that work was also done in an exemplary manner. Steve also responded to all of our inquiries, in a prompt and responsive manner. read more

Steve Leter is the best handyman in LA. His only two priorities are doing the job right and minimizing the cost to you. His work is fantastic, and he will decline the job if he feels it's out of his expertise. He will ask questions to be clear of what you want, and he will suggest options that you didn't know existed. He also cleans up when he's done. When I first hired him to build a storage closet, my neighbor was so impressed that she hired him to do the same. When I bought a house, I entrusted him to be in the house by himself and inspect and fix anything that he felt appropriate, so he: --consulted with a stove specialist to diagnose and fix the stove --installed a security mailbox on the side of the house --picked up from Best Buy and mounted a 60" TV set on the wall --installed a Ring doorbell, replacing the old door chime --adjusted the water pressure --stabilized a patio post with an L bracket drilled into the concrete --replaced a toilet flush valve seal --replaced a GFCI outlet and grounded another --recaulked the kitchen sink --made recommendations for a faulty dishwasher air gap, a fence separation, and other items. You can trust Steve Leter 100% read more

Strongly recommended if you need handyman or plumbing work!!! read more

I almost didn't want to write this review - that's how great Steve is. Since moving into our home, we've had the joy of experiencing lots of issues (plumbing, electrical, old attic stairs that needed replacing, replacing locks, replacing an old door, etc) and Steve has done an amazing job with helping us address all of them in some form or another (including when it's time to call in a specialist). Steve comes on time, is efficient, with great pricing and professionalism - he is our go-to handyman! read more

Steve was/is great, as the reviews indicate. He was communicative, professional, reliable, honest and most definitely a perfectionist. He did an excellent job installing baseboards before we had carpet installed, as well as repaired a big cut out in drywall in the downstairs bathroom. Any more, it's hard to find someone capable, honest and hard-working-which is why we urged him to make the longer drive to our home in the South Bay. Definitely recommend Steve! read more

Used Steve again for three items this time. He was prompt, courteous. Installed a heater/blower replacement in the bathroom fan. Checked out an electrical issue as well as a plumbing problem. All handled very well. read more

Steve is fantastic. My wife and I highly recommend him. We have dealt with many vendors, contractors and handyman over the years and he is the best. He takes extreme pride and care in what he does and he executed everything we asked him to flawlessly. read more

Steve checked all the boxes off my repair list and we were so pleased to get them taken care of professionally and efficiently. He was an appliance repairman, plumber, locksmith and carpenter! Communication was great and since these weren't emergency issues I was happy to work with his schedule. read more

You want the best ? Call Steve . He's honest, reliable and took a rather complicated job when all the others were turning me down ! He was so kind and professional .Steve instantly broke down all the numbers for me. And then talked me through every step of the process.He was very concerned that I be happy with the job. I was amazed at his skill and knowledge.And he didn't talk down to me either when I didn't understand something.He also was just a really nice guy. I've found my handyman for life! Call Steve if you want a truly great handyman. You won't be sorry ! read more

Steve is so good at what he does that you might have to wait for an appointment. But he's so thorough and friendly and time/cost-efficient that he's worth the wait. He can handle cabinetry, plumbing, electrical issues, and even got my gas fireplace going when I had been told it was dead for good. A solid recommendation. read more

Steve is rock star. What I thought was a simple microwave removal and install of a new unit was rough. He and I worked through the unforeseen challenges and he worked miracles. He's good at what he does, communicates well on timing and expectation and very fairly priced. . Plus, he cleans up the mess left behind from his projects. I would recommend him for any your household projects. Thanks again, Steve. read more

Multitrade Home Repair - Handyman Near Me

I used Steve for a variety of projects around the house including fixing a broken door frame, replacing weatherstripping on the front door, and installing a bathroom exhaust fan (which required some re-piping/ducting in the attic). Steve is a very professional, knowledgeable, and thorough guy. He is very detail oriented and does everything properly and great professionalism. He shows up on time, explains everything with great clarify, and it is clear that he knows his stuff when he communicates with you. He also cleans up after he is done. There is a reason why Steve keeps getting 5-star reviews...he is that good. read more

Fast, precise, patient and effective. Having just bought the house a year ago, things in our home started to fall apart within this one year time span. The previous owner probably did most of the furnishing, and therefore many things were fixed to drywall, which isn't a secure way at all. We compiled a list of things we wish to repair, and Steve promptly replied to our request. Steve was very friendly. For every single item, he would give me a brief explanation of the possible cause and his proposed way of repair, before starting doing anything. He was very down to earth and was pleased to answer our questions. He also went above and beyond and fixed the things that weren't on the list. Our house was in so much better shape after his visits. Couldn't be happier!!! read more

Steve Is super fast responding to his emails. Did excellent work and was able to do the work on my rental without me there. The tenets are very happy. I appreciate that he is easy to communicate with and accepts Venmo. I will be using his services again. read more

Congratulations! You have found the best handyman in LA. You are officially done with your research. Take it from me, finding a handyman or contractor is no easy task. It's difficult to find someone whom you can trust and who does excellent work. And, the first time you work with someone is always a risk. Having had bad luck with flaky and unprofessional contractors in the past, I felt like I struck gold when I found Steve Leter from Multitrade Home Repair. Steve is an extremely knowledgeable and detail-oriented handyman. There is practically nothing he cannot do. A self-proclaimed perfectionist, he is not satisfied until a project is completed flawlessly. When it comes to communication and scheduling, he stands out even further -- he is highly responsive and accommodating, even if you have to reschedule several times like I did recently. On a side note, Steve is also an excellent human being. He will teach you how to do repairs yourself, if you're interested. And he is an amazing conversationalist with a great sense of humor. You will not be bored if you plan to stick around while he is working. Steve is my go-to handyman in LA and I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed! read more

Steve is the hands down the best handyman. I have not had the best of luck with hiring people for home repairs, so having someone punctual and knowledgeable is such a breath of fresh air. He arrived about 5 minutes before his scheduled start time, gave a thorough inspection of the work that needed to be done and was very detailed in his explanation of everything he was going to do, and if he was unable to do something why that was the case and what his recommendations would be. He not only finished his job in the time frame he said he would, but also helped another technician we had there for a separate issue with plumbing and was extremely kind and courteous the entire time he was there. My only wish is that I had found him sooner. He's absolutely the best! read more

Based on great Yelp reviews and a friendly website, I contacted Steve to do (or at least get a quote on) a small tile installation. He was initially quite responsive to my queries, and he reasonably asked for a photograph of the work to be done and that I have the tile before he scheduled the job. Once I purchased the tile (2 days later), I informed him that we had it. I assumed after that that setting up a time for him to do the job would be easy. Instead of simply informing me that he wasn't interested in (or couldn't do) this job, he simply didn't bother to respond to my last email. On August 13, weeks after my final email to him and only after I posted this review, he contacted me to apologize for his unprofessionalism. In the process he whined about how difficult it is to be a one-man operation, and he blamed me for not following up with emails when I had not heard from him. He then asked me to remove this review. Given his unprofessional behavior, which directly contradicts the Christian values he espouses on his website, I would never attempt to hire him again. read more

I'm a first time home owner who was handed of list of "good things to fix" from an overly thorough home inspector. Since both my wife and I works long hours, what we really wanted to do, was to pass this list to somebody and get everything fixed, reasonably cheaply too (if possible). We found Steve. Now, Steve fixes a lot of things, from removing our door lock to be re-keyed (cheaper than calling a locksmith), safely fixing some loose wires on our circuit board, to caulking our shower, to mounting our TV to the wall, but he can't fix everything. He's only one man after all. When he can't fix it, you can trust him to be honest about it and to make the right recommendations (e.g. we had a really bad scratch on the floor, which he told us how a flooring specialist could fix it, without us asking him). Before coming in, Steve and I corresponded frequently via email about potential work items, what those involved and potential costs. So if you're like me and need a trustworthy Handyman who charges a reasonable rate, Steve is the man for you! read more

If you are in need of an honest, reliable and knowledgeable handyman to get any work done, go no further than this, Steve is your guy. I went thru the long list of handymen reviewed here on yelp and called them looking for a quote for some jobs I needed done. Most of them didn't answer and never even called back while the ones that did, just gave me their rates without any real insight about the job. Steve on the other hand went ahead and went out of his way and wanted to come scope out the place and the things I needed done so he could give me an accurate quote and time frame for the work that he would do. Right away I knew I had found the right guy for the job. I needed to get some store front lettering put up, a door lock to be fixed and an door closer to be installed. He gave me a very reasonable quote and we setup an appointment to get the work done. Once he arrived to do the job he went straight to work. He doesn't waste any time and works very efficiently. He is very honest and will even give you multiple options of how to get the job done and even ways to make it more cost efficient. We had a door in an odd position that made it hard to install the door closer, but he got creative and made some fast and clean modifications to the door frame so it would fit our purpose. While he was here doing his work I found a couple more minor things I needed done and asked him to stay and if he could fix those as well and he did so with no hesitation. All in all I couldn't be happier with the work Steve did and I highly recommend him for any work you need done and will definitely be using him for any future work I need done. read more

Steve was a bit hard to read initially, do to the whole communication via email thing which limited me in my assessment of him. We finally spoke and even though he was a bit on the costly side I agreed to allow him to repair and replace the threshold in one of my units. I do get why he doesn't contact you until later in the day is the simple fact that he's WORKING and wishes not to be distracted while do so, I wish he could teach others that skill. Steve showed at the agreed upon time worked at a steady pace once we had all the supplies required to start and complete the job, he did however have to borrow a few of my tools to complete the job, I did actually ask him to adjust his price for that reason, but It didn't work I still had to PAY! I must say that his work ethic and meticulous attention to detail were impressive. I needed him in a pinch and he was there, I did have other jobs for Steve but unfortunately he was out of my price range for the length of time I would need him. In closing he's good at what he does and I would recommend him for most jobs in his skill set, they do say you get what you pay for! Thanks! read more

Steve did a fantastic job with a variety of repair work I had for him! In just one day he was able to: - Re-caulk my kitchen and bathroom granite countertops - Repair a broken kitchen cabinet door - Replace and install a new kitchen faucet - Fixed a leak under my kitchen sink that he had discovered before installing my new faucet - Touched up and re-textured one of my bathroom walls Steve was very courteous and professional. He always consulted with me prior to doing anything and always offered his professional advice. His rates are also very reasonable. I absolutely recommend Steve! read more

We appreciate the prompt and efficient services rendered by Steve for repairs in our home. He also provided advice on light fixture and water leaks. read more

Steve is very capable. He did several jobs for me all that turned out great: - installing bathroom fans with roof vents - installing GFCI outlets - repairing dry wall and painting - installing a toilet (with a broken flange that he repaired) If you want something done well, he's a great guy to hire. My main criticism of him is that he is hard to find time with (I guess because he's so good everyone wants to hire him!). So if you can get him scheduled, go for it. He's also a little on the pricey side. He's about 50% more expensive than other handymen I've used for similar jobs, but I do think he did a better job in the end and I trusted him more. read more

Steve is a good and honest handyman. He takes the time to explain to you what's wrong and offers alternative cheaper solutions. Very transparent and trustworthy. read more

Steve does excellent quality work. A true perfectionist. And super reliable. Thanks Steve!

Steve is meticulous, thorough, and honest. He gave me a very fair price for two jobs--one repair of exterior to a window and another, installation of a complicated light fixture. I plan to hire him again and do not hesitate to refer him to my friends. Cynthia B read more

Steve came and looked at what needed to be done, gave an extremely reasonable quote and then came back the next day and began his work. The work they did was excellent and the quality and skill was beyond what I expected. Definitely a great service! read more

Steve is awesome! He was super patient with all the needs the fixes that I have explained that needs repairing. He was very honest with what he can do and what needs to be professionally fixed. Although some of our home fixes need more than just a temporary fix he was able to give us a second opinion and even give us recommendations on who to contact for larger fixes. He also even noticed things that need to be addressed and didn't mind getting it all done for me! Hands down the best handyman! read more

Steve did a GREAT job on our repair. This will absolutely be the first person I contact if I ever require additional repairs. Highly recommended. read more
