Laundry room and garage repair - drywall and cabinet installation

The work done by the contractor John was meticulous and thorough. He arrived each day on time; and finished each day with a clean up of the work area . Lastly Charlie from THIG and John were professional in all our interactions.
We would highly recommend them .

Terrible!

THIG were hired to do work for our main floor renovation. Over the course of a month we had a parade of handymen attempting to do the job of a real contractor. The tiling was crooked, the drywall work was dismal. They could not even figure out how to hang a cupboard door straight. If you need a handyman call THIG, if you need a real contractor, call someone else.

Good Morning Private User. I have read your review and have gone through all our projects over the past 6 months and am unable to find a project where we hung a cabinet door. We don't use handyman to hang doors or install tiles, we use skilled trades. If this was a project we did, please reach out to me and we can discuss your concerns. As the owner of The Home Improvement Group, I take pride in making sure all our customers are happy with the work we do, as well as deliver quality work. I am always reachable by phone or email. I have never shied away from a customer concern or refused to complete deficiencies.

Please feel free to contact our office anytime.

Regards
Christine

True Professionals

We had Charlie repaint a new office space we were taking over. We needed the job done very quickly with opening in a few days.

Charlie was able to get the job complete on time, checked in to let me know how things were going, with the end result being excellent. We are very happy to have worked with him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, honest, hardworking company to work with.

Repair ceiling drywall, trim and paint laundry room ceiling and trim.

This is the second time I have used THIG and I am once again, very happy with their work. Even though THIG was exceptionally busy after opening up post the COVID lockdown, they were able to squeeze me in for this small job that I needed done right away.

general handyman required for alot of small jobs

Christine and her crew are great! I had alot of small work, from a renovation, that was taking a long time to finish, as my primary contractor kept taking big jobs, and no longer wanted to finish the detaily kind of stuff...and things that separately might require numerous different tradespeople...I contacted THIG as I no longer wanted to wait, nor accept the situation...I was able to get Tomas to come out, and he worked his 7.5 hours, as agreed, and was able to do way more stuff, than I ever imagined....I would definitely use them again!

Great handyman service for the day!

This is my 2nd time using THIG's services. I used their painter for the day (4 day package) to paint my 2 bedroom condo last year and was very happy with the results so I decided to try their handyman service this year. I used handyman for the day service from THIG for some furniture assembly and wallbed installation this time. Robert was really professional and thorough. I will definitely use THIG's services again in the future and would recommend them to friends and family.
