Szeto Plumbing and Handyman
Company Overview
Szeto Plumbing and Handyman operates in Daly City, Glendora, Rosemead, and Cerritos. Our expertise lies in servicing single-family residences and rental properties, offering dependable maintenance solutions for property management firms. As an experienced plumber, I excel in numerous plumbing services, including water heater installations, shower and sink setups, garbage disposal installations, and faucet fittings, as well as resolving issues like clogged drains and toilet repairs. Alongside plumbing, I am skilled in installing and repairing flooring, including hardwood, laminate, tile, and vinyl. Moreover, I have significant experience in cabinet installation and both exterior and interior painting, including staining, ceiling work, deck and porch painting, door and fence painting, and room, siding, trim, window, and baseboard painting. Over the years, I have honed my skills, earning a reputation as a trustworthy and skilled professional in the plumbing and handyman field.
This business was founded by my father shortly after we immigrated to the U.S. in 1980. At that time, the idea of the American dream was new to us, but my dad emphasized the significance of honesty and reliability from the outset. He believed that treating customers fairly would lead to loyalty and respect in return. This belief formed the foundation of our company’s inception, and I am honored to carry on this legacy and uphold these values.
In honor of my father, Gary S, who became a handyman upon arriving in LA in 1979, I strive to carry forward his impressive legacy. Though it is a daunting task to fill his shoes, he ingrained in us the principles of honesty and reliability, which he felt would be valued by others. I seek to embody these values, aspiring to build a trustworthy and reputable company that serves our community well. I am grateful for your support.

Recommended Customer Reviews

I had a faucet to be replaced. They came on time, were very polite and professional. Everything was fixed quickly. Would use them again

Fast service, went out of the way to drive to home depot to purchase necessary parts. Job well done.

My dishwasher doesn't work properly. The water came out from the air gap on the counter, and this made my kitchen counter and floor flooding and messy. I found Mr. Chen and he sent someone to check at my house in 20 minutes. The handymen was very polite and even carried a heavy box of water upstairs for me. He also fixed the dishwasher issue very efficiently and friendly. He showed me the grease and waste caused the clog in the drainage. He cleaned it and finally the water flow into the food disposal. Problem fixed in an hour the minute I reached out to the company. Strongly recommend!

Rick was quick to respond to my Yelp message, and came over promptly. He fixed our toilet at a very reasonable price and was quick! Other plumbers said they couldn't quote me unless they came in person to check it out, which I get, but I prefer the flat rate and the way Rick handled our communication. I've had another plumbers come over and chage me a ridiculous amount for an hour over something very small. Definitely going to call Rick again if we have any other plumbing issues in the future.

Water levels have been low on my toilet for a few months, so I wanted to do some preventative maintenance before it turns into something larger.
Called a few of the local plumbers in the area - either not responsive or charging at the highest range.
Since the local shop wasn't picking up, I messaged them through Projects on Yelp and accidentally put a request out to other plumbers.
Reliable was one of the first that reached out and after fielding a few others, I decided to go with them.
Seamless process - chat on the phone for a minute to figure out availability, then Rick will text you when he is able to secure a tech to come your way. Any changes will be quickly communicated - which is so appreciated.
The technician Han was so pleasant - it's all in the details:
-easily figured out parking/access
-removed shoes without prompting
-came prepared with everything, parts and his own towels, yes I have had repair people destroy my towels with the grease on their hands
-professional, polite, respectful of my home
-the repair was simple but he showed me how to troubleshoot in the future, which is invaluable if the same issue occurs
Reliable has a customer for life and found out after they do other repairs outside of plumbing also - excited to have a handy person other than TaskRabbit!

Very quick respond
Quickly solved the problem.
Even though the late night and heavy raining still get the works done on time during Sunday night.

I turned to Rick because it was necessary to change the water filter on my project, Rick responded very quickly and was with me within an hour, he did the job very well, my customer was satisfied, now I will only contact Rick

My kitchen drain was clogged and needed to be rooted/snaked. I requested a quote on Yelp and Reliable Handyman was one of the few companies to provide an actual quote over e-mail, rather than saying they needed to perform an inspection first. Their quote was also the lowest by a significant amount, so I went with them. Han came out promptly and he very efficiently and professionally rooted the drain, which works great now. I wholeheartedly recommend Reliable Handyman and wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again.

Highly Recommend
Recently we noticed 2 issues in our condo in SF. One is that there is one piece of hardwood floor broke which created a hole. The other one is that the bathroom window is too old and can't really hold and close correctly.
At first, I got a quote from our neighbor handyman who came and gave me a quote of $1000 for both issues (not to replace the window but just to fix it). It sounds a bit too much so we decided to get a second opinion. We found ""Reliable Handyman"" on yelp. They responded to my message super quickly, and sent a guy to examine the situation about 20 mins after we first texted. The handyman came and just fixed the 2 issues on site in 30 mins. After that, he said that the job is small enough so it's FREE of charge. It's really too good to be true. I basically saved $1000. Definitely recommend and they will be my first and top choice whenever I have jobs like this in the future.

Very responsive and super reliable. We had a clogged kitchen sink and Han came over on a Saturday to help us resolve it. Very detail oriented and made sure that there were no leaks after he helped unclog it. Would definitely recommend and will continue working with them going forward.
