About Us – From Eli, Your Local Handyman
Hi, I’m Eli – owner, lead handyman, and the guy who’ll be fixing things around your home. Thanks for taking a moment to learn about us. Trusty Tri Handyman s a family-owned business rooted in the Tri-Cities - East Tennessee isn’t just where we work, it’s home.
We’re honored to be named a Top Pro on Thumbtack among handymen in Johnson City TN and the surrounding area - a recognition that reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, honesty, and reliable service you can count on.
Eli – your trusted handyman and the hands behind every project.
A Little Bit About Me
I’ve worked with my hands most of my life – repairing, installing, building, and solving the everyday problems that make a home feel comfortable and safe. When my family and I moved to the Johnson City, I knew I wanted to continue doing what I’ve always loved: helping people, fixing things, and doing every job the right way the first time.
After settling in the Tri-Cities, I realized many homeowners were struggling to find reliable help for small and medium projects. Big contractors focus on remodels. Some handymen don’t call back. Others show up late – or not at all.
So we started Trusty Tri Handyman with a simple promise:
- Show up on time.
- Communicate clearly.
- Do quality work.
- Treat every home with respect.
A Bit About Our Family
My family and I moved to East Tennessee to build a new chapter of our lives. We brought with us what truly matters: our experience, our work ethic, and a commitment to creating something meaningful and long-lasting for our children.
The Tri-Cities welcomed us with incredible kindness, and this business is our way of giving back – helping local families, caring for local homes, and becoming a real part of the community we now proudly call home.
Meet Jenny – The Heart of Our Operations
While I’m usually the one you’ll see on the jobsite, a huge part of what keeps Trusty Tri Handyman running smoothly happens behind the scenes – thanks to my wife, Jenny. She’s the organizational backbone of our business, the one who keeps everything moving with structure, care, and a personal touch.
Jenny handles scheduling, bookings, messages, and follow-ups – making sure every client gets clear communication, timely reminders, and a professional experience from the very first contact.
For us, this truly is a family business, and Jenny’s dedication is a big reason why so many homeowners across the Tri-Cities choose to work with us again and again.
Jenny – operations, scheduling, and the friendly voice behind your messages.

What We Can Help You With
We specialize in the kinds of projects most homeowners don’t have time for – the smaller jobs that keep everything running smoothly:
If you’re not sure whether we handle a specific project, just ask – we’ll always give an honest answer.
My Promise to You
When you choose a handyman, you’re not just hiring someone to fix a problem – you’re inviting them into your home. We take that responsibility seriously.
I promise to show up on time, protect your home while we work, clean up before we leave, charge a fair, honest price, and stand behind every job we do.
If it’s not good enough for my own home, it’s not good enough for yours.
– Eli, Trusty Tri Handyman
Your Neighbor. Your Handyman.
