Great Plumbing Experience
I am doing a full bathroom renovation. I needed a plumber to install bathtub. We had Alex from Handyman come and give estimate. We agreed on the work and Alex did the work on Thursday August 15th. The work included removing the old handle for shower and install shut offs for shower/ bathtub and sink. Even though he ran in to challenges due to age of a tap and I requested a couple of changes to a couple pipes , he completed everything with only a half hour past estimate which was excellent. Alex is very experienced and his work shows it. He is personable and explained everything. Please note the price I paid included $125 for parts. I would use him again and recommend him highly. This is first time using Handyman after meeting them at the Home Show last year. Based on this experience I will certainly use them when I need skilled people to undertake work. The Handyman company was great in terms of setting appointment , following up before and after appointment. Extremely pleaded with my experience!

Hi Rob, Thanks for sharing your experience. Alex is a great plumber with lots of experience to overcome the little surprises that pop up during a project. We look forward to working with you again. Troy

Powder room and Ensuite renovation
We contracted Handyman Connection to gut and remodel our main level powder room and master ensuite and are simply delighted with our new showcase bathrooms! It was a pleasure from the initial planning stages with Troy and his primary contractor (Marek) and throughout the entire project demolition and construction phase. Marek is a true craftsman who pays particular attention to details and ensuring that all aspects of construction are sound and precise. He provided his professional advice and demonstrated flexibility when plans needed adjusting and always eager to explain and educate. We enjoyed our time with Marek who was always respectful of our home and family -- A++. We were similarly happy with our other Handyman tradesmen that were involved in this project: Drywall mudding specialists - Matt, Plumber - Petr and Electrician - Yiftach. All are top notch tradesmen who performed their respective crafts with excellent skill and efficiency. Handyman deserves our highest recommendation and we look forward to working with them again in future projects. Troy's crew made the renovation process simple and pleasant especially through a challenging Covid-19 climate. Thank you to Troy and his Handyman craftsmen!!!

Fix exhaust vent outside close to the roof and the garage door.
The outdoor covering of the exhaust vent, close to the roof had come off and a gaping hole was left there. We wanted it fixed a.s.a.p as we were worried about birds getting in there. We also had our garage door to be fixed as the bottom was rusted and the stripping had come off. We were contacted by Handyman connections through Home Stars and an appointment was made for one of their team to visit us and provide an estimate. A gentleman named Ray came exactly on time to visit us and after looking at the work needed to be done gave us a very fair estimate only for the vent as there was no urgency for the garage door fix. We agreed to the estimate and right then and there he started the work and fixed the covering on the vent. Then when we asked if he could take a look at the garage door to which he agreed to provide a temporary fix as the garage door need a complete overhaul. He completed that too as well as sealing another vent covering closer to the ground at no extra cost. His workmanship was excellent and his friendly caring attitude goes far beyond any kind of rating. He is an excellent handyman and I not only would like to have him back if I needed any other fix and will gladly recommend him to others for any work needed around their houses. Edward Silva.

fascia and soffit repair
Ray was the craftsman sent by Handyman Connections. Under his guidance we decided to have fascia and soffit done in aluminium. Ray is knowledgeable, efficient and delivered on what he promised in the time scheduled for the project. We have had many experiences with contractors and craftsmen on small and big projects. He is the best. I would recommend him highly.

Ceiling Fan Installation
We needed to have 2 bedroom fans installed. One was a simple change over from a light fixture, the other was a complete redo as no overhead light existed. James did an excellent job. He was polite, personable and left the area clean when he was done. The time from calling Handyman Connection to install was super fast - they far exceeded my expectations in this regard. Their follow up was also top notch. I will definitely be using them again for any work around my home
Answer from pro:
Thank you Christina for taking the time to post a review about our service, particularly your experience with our electrician, James. I am glad everything went well and you were pleased with the end result and our service overall.

Electrical work
We needed some recessed lights installed in our living room, the electrician came promptly on the given time and after reviewing the scope of work gave us an estimate on the spot. We decided to have the work done based on the quote given and were given a time and date for the work to be done. The electrician arrived precisely on time, did the work very professionally to our satisfaction and finished it very quickly. We were very pleased with the quality of the work done and would definitely recommend there services. Thank you.Kishor

Install new hanging/sliding door hardware in Centretown condo.
My condo has 5 sliding doors that hang from the ceiling. Each one is 4 feet wide by 9 feet tall and they were organized in a group of 3 (for the bedroom) and a group of 2 (for the den). I wanted all 5 doors to be independent (e.g. - slide the length of the condo). Because the nature of the job was more industrial (it required new hardward to be ordered and installed and drilled into the concrete ceiling) Handyman Connection were able to put me in contact with a contractor who had almost 2 decades of experience in that kind of work. Dave (the contractor) and his team were fantastic. Incredibly professional and great to work with. I couldn't be happier with the results and I can now have all 5 doors grouped together in the one spot and it really opens up the space in my condo. Awesome job.

Hi Sylvain, Thanks for posting a review on homestars. We really appreciate it and we have passed your comments on to Dave and his crew. Troy
