Microwave installation

Andrew was fantastic! I reached out to him initially thinking it was a simple job. It turned out to be much more complex but he was able to do it and was extremely efficient.

Thanks very much for your kind review. Your lovely custom kitchen will be complimented with a new OTR microwave! Patience and care was all it took, together with your consideration, to ensure the work was completed at a good pace and with great results. Enjoy!

Storm door installation

Andrew did a great job. He came early, was responsive, polite, and professional. The installation took a little longer than expected (due to issues with the door I bought), but his price was reasonable and it looks solid. We will be calling him back for other jobs in the future.

Thanks very much for your kind consideration of my effort and results! You selected the right product and we were able to make slight modifications to the stone & frame to ensure a proper fit and function for the door. Always happy when my clients are happy.

Door Hinge Repair

Andrew promptly responded to my request to fix my door handle and quoted a very reasonable price for excellent service! He communicated everything he was doing very clearly and repaired the door quickly and efficiently. Was also a pleasure to chat with. Would definitely recommend his services to anyone who might need handyman work!

Thank you for your kind review and rating. I'm pleased to have fixed the issue. In this case, we found some inadequate hardware installed by the builders which were replaced with longer screws. It's a common issue in newer (and lovely condos) to find things like this allowing for a quick repair.

Handy man

We hired Andrew for various handyman projects when we moved. He performed drywalling painting switching out old electrical switches and receptacles. We are very happy with the quality of work and level of professionalism. We hired him numerous times that’s a pretty good recommendation there.

Grab Bar Clean-up & Tub Caulk Replacement

Andrew cleaned out a rusting tub grab bar for us. He cleaned out all of the corrosion stains and set it to prevent future problems. He also removed all of our old and discoloured tub caulking and re-caulked the tub.
Andrew's work is excellent and tidy. He listens to the homeowner, asks good questions, and provides options.
Our bathroom looks and feels clean again!
I would whole-heartedly recommend Andrew for taking care of your home.

Your review sure made me laugh! Reviews from my PIK's (People I Know) are like five legged unicorns - almost never happen, so I'm very grateful indeed.

Taking a large space and turning it into a place you'll be happy to spend lots of time in is a real pleasure.

Tearing down the old material to stud frame and repairing vapour barrier, drywalling and priming sure has transformed the garage! ENJOY!!!!

Replace and install 3 sets of blinds

Andrew did an outstanding job in installing 3 sets of blinds and also removing the old ones.

His level of work is fantastic, he cleaned up the small amount of mess made by the work and worked in an extremely efficient way. He is also a top, friendly bloke!

I would highly recommend Andrew for whatever he says he can do.

Thanks for your raving review and compliments! I'm glad the experience and care taken to get the materials purchased and installed went well. Taking the extra minutes to get the blinds lined up perfectly was very satisfying. Enjoy the benefits of your new blinds!
