Our cleaning day fell on the day before a Holiday. The day before my autistic son’s outdoor birthday celebration. We had no teason to know it wouldn’t happen as cleaning was scheduled on the same day it always is for many months now. Skipped our house without even letting us know. 3 hrs AFTER our cleaning was due I texted, then was finally told we wouldn’t be getting our scheduled cleaning as “the staff are too tired from fitting in the “extra” houses”! Excuse me? Then stick to the regular schedule you agreed to, or find more staff if you can, clean it yourself, don’t make promises you can’t keep OR be better organized! So utterly unreliable and unprofessional. No loyalty to customers.

Yard design / landscaping- 11 May 2026
The worst experience I had with a contractor. They destroyed 5 of my roses. Around my tree I had 2 nice layers of stone and when they tried to fix it they used interlocking stones on the bottom and took my stones away. Now it looks terrible. (See pic) They used my marble stone and limestone and charged me. They upped the price on the last day. They also charged me tax for a cash deal. First day said cash no tax. Then denied that he said that. The biggest is the weeds. I have weeds everywhere that I did not have before. I had layers of limestone and they spread dirt on top of it and now weeds. They are saying the weeds are coming from under the weed barrier that they put down. Somehow going through inches and inches of limestone. The soil smells if you move it around. Some toxic chemicals must be in it. I have proof of before pictures. Don’t hire them you will be sorry. They talk a good line but they don’t have a clue on what they are doing. Heather

Roof Sealant- 11 Jun 2026
It did not proceed. The job was a simple recalling of some skylights. I explained the roof was metal and 45 degree slope. You accepted and set a date for the work to be done for $85/hr. I later explained a 20 foot ladder was adequate to access the roof as it had been so accessed by a professional outfit before. Your man arrived with a fold up ladder he said was inadequate. I doubt he intended to do the job. He said he needed another person to do the job and I agreed. I was then informed that an unspecified number of roof anchors costing $295 each were required. I was then informed that a mechanical lift would also be required. My roof has been easily accessed and worked on before without a lift or roof anchors…but the men were experienced professionals. I could not recommend your firm for metal roof work as a result of this experience. Ryan was however a very nice person.

Terrible handyman, not licensed in any trade for home renos. Had to FIRE him the next morning for incompetent mistakes, poor workmanship on carpentry finishing hack. Ali walked out on our job, after only completing 5 hrs on the simplest part of our bathroom reno project. Ali extorted $1,000. from us on the 1st day of our reno job as a deposit, he would not refund us this even 50 % after being Fired on the Plumbing part of the reno to connect a brand New 60 inch Shower. A conman do not hire this person, AVOID, AVOID, AVOID... Ali Hassan contracting and hire a certified professional.

Latest review:
In May 2019, I hired Shubrook Constructions to do landscaping. The company installed a water feature with bubbling rock as part of the landscaping. In July 2020, the pump that was under warranty stopped working. I informed the owner about the pump malfunction on July 6, 2020, and requested that he replace the pump or provide me with the warranty papers. On July 10, 2019, I wrote directly to the pump manufacturer in the UK and copied the owner. The manufacturer asked for the pump purchase information to carry out the proper paperwork to affect a warranty return. The company representative from the Sales and Customer Service noted: "I am unable to replace a pump under warranty without proof of purchase." On August 3, 2019, I followed up with Shubrook Constructions. While the company provides a one-year warranty for their work, the pump was still under warranty. I told the owner that if he could not replace the pump, please provide me with the required papers to get the pump directly from the manufacturer. I received the owner's response that the pump is getting delivered. It should be here within a few weeks. On September I2, 2020, I received another email from the owner about another delivery date. After repeated attempts and follow-ups with the business, the company installed the pump that did not display the bubbling feature I paid the money for. I told the owner I was very dissatisfied. The owner assured me that he would install the same/similar pump. Due to COVID-19, I was very patient with the company. After repeated attempts and emails, on June 15, 2021, the owner indicated that he would install the pump by the end of that week. However, he did not come to install the pump nor inform me that he would not be installing it. On June 21, 2021, I contacted Better Business Bureau (BBB) to resolve the issue. That same day I received a text from Shubrook Construction owner "Got the pump. Will be stopping by tomorrow to install." I informed BBB of the text and that I would withdraw the complaint if he installed the pump. However, the owner did not install the pump. On July 20, 2021, I received a response from BBB: "Your BBB has made several attempts to contact the business regarding the above referenced complaint. We regret to inform you that we have not received a response from the company." I contacted the Canadian Home Builders' Association. They informed me that as "Shubrook Constructions is not a member of the Canadian Home Builders' Association," they could not assist me. After talking with the College of Trades, I contacted Consumer Protection, Ontario. They reviewed my file and assigned a consumer officer from the Consumer Services Operations Division in December 2021. The officer offered a mediation. On December 17, 2021, I received the following response from the consumer officer, and they referred me to legal services: "The ministry may mediate a complaint if the parties agree to mediation. The business named in your complaint does not agree to mediation. Your complaint suggests that there may be evidence of a contravention of consumer law." In summary, Shubrook Constructions: 1) did not replace the pump with the quality that would provide the same bubbling rock feature even though the owner informed me that he has the pump and will install it; 2) did not return the hose that the owner took that I paid for. When I questioned why the owner took the hose with the old pump, I understood that he would replace the entire unit; nor 3) provide me with the warranty papers and the receipt for the pump that the manufacturer required. Fortunately for me, when I contacted the pump manufacturer and explained the situation, the sales and customer service wrote: "Ideally, we would like the pump purchase information so that we can carry out the right paperwork to effect a warranty return for you, but if that is not forthcoming, as a customer of ours with a warranty failure, we will put this right for you." And he sent the pump, free of charge. The company was terrific. However, the pump did not come with the hose. I have learned a lot through this experience. I should have insisted on the warranty papers rather than taking the owner's word for it. Further, I should have contacted BBB to check if the company is BBB accredited. Shubrook Constructions was not BBB accredited - if the business is not an Accredited BBB Business, they are not required to respond to complaints. Also, in the future, I will contact the City of London for any construction work or updates to my home. The city can help consumers understand construction codes (e.g., window well installation). In some cases, an inspector can also do an inspection. Through the College of Trades, one can check what any business is licensed for and isn't. One can contact the Canadian Home Builders' Association for home building information. I have written to local and provincial officials to strengthen construction and landscaping laws. Fortunately for me, the manufacturer demonstrated very high-quality customer service. They replaced the pump without papers and helped me understand what I needed to install it as I no longer had the hose from the old pump.

General contractor service- 1 Jul 2026
Ali at Fixo never plans ahead or takes responsibility. He promised a tiled shower and base that'd avoid mold, as another contractor offered. After demolition, he said his tiled floor was no guarantee against mold. I felt stuck, and was forced to accept an acrylic base he assured me he would be waterproof, but failed to properly waterproof underneath. He was also messy, disorganized, and pushed time limits set by my condo. He rushed to install a shower door from Amazon I asked he check, as it had been repackaged. After installation, he explained the glass risked hitting the towel rail and left a solution to me. I pointed out warping of the frame he said he'd fix, then didn't. After I paid, I found a scratch on the glass door and torn liner. He accused me of sending a fake picture, was abusive, and made up excuses to not exchange the door. Now water's leaking outside the shower onto the floor as silicone peels off. I want a REFUND! Find my detail review in attached images.

Install or replace curtain rails- 26 Apr 2025
We hired Right Home Decor to install our curtains. It has now been a month, and the job is still not completed. On the first day, I paid him in full, even though the work was not finished. He agreed to return another day to complete it. When he came back on the second day, we realized that one of the materials was not compatible. We agreed that once I got the correct material, he would come and complete the installation when he was available. I later got the right material and reached out to him. He agreed to come the following week. On the agreed day, I waited for him, but he never showed up. He also didn’t reach out to inform me; I was the one who had to follow up. He then told me he was out of town — this was after I had been waiting for him. He promised to come the next day or, at the latest, the following week. However, the week passed without any communication from him. Again, I had to follow up, and he said he would come in two or three days. My Master room window is just bare

What to Ask Before You Hire a Handyman Near You

Before hiring a handyman, it’s helpful to ask the right questions to ensure you get the service you need. From experience and pricing to what’s included in the job, knowing what to look for helps you make an informed decision.

Here are some essential questions to ask when choosing the right handyman for your project:

What services do you offer?

Not every handyman handles the same range of tasks. Some specialise in general repairs and furniture assembly, while others may offer painting, minor plumbing, or post-renovation fixes. Make sure the handyman can handle the specific work you need.

Are you licensed and insured?

In Canada, some provinces and territories require handymen to hold trade certifications for certain tasks. Regardless, always hire someone who carries liability insurance. This protects you and the handyman in case of accidental damage or injury. Ask how long they’ve been in the trade and the types of projects they typically handle.

Do you provide your own tools and materials?

Some handymen bring everything they need to complete the job, while others may expect you to provide certain tools or materials. Clarify this beforehand so there are no surprises.

What is your availability and cancellation policy?

Confirm whether the handyman can accommodate your schedule for one-off jobs or ongoing projects. Ask about notice periods for cancellations or rescheduling and any potential fees.

FAQs: Your Questions About Handymen Answered

Can a handyman handle post-renovation repairs?

Yes. Many handymen are experienced with minor repairs following renovations, including touch-ups, drywall patching, trim work, and furniture assembly. Be sure to clarify the exact scope of work before hiring.

Can a handyman work on outdoor projects?

Yes. Many handymen handle exterior tasks such as fence repairs, deck maintenance, gutter cleaning, or small landscaping jobs. Check whether the handyman has the right equipment and experience for outdoor work.

How long will a job carried out by a handyman take?

The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the task. Small jobs may take under 2 hours, medium tasks 2–4 hours, and larger projects a day or more. Experienced handymen can provide time estimates when you request a quote.

Can handymen work while I’m not at home?

Yes, but it requires clear arrangements. Options may include using a key safe, providing a spare key, or scheduling a time when you’re present. Always verify the handyman’s process for access and security.
