Odds and ends around the house

Hi,

After doing my research, I hired Handyman Connection to do some odds and ends around the house. My new toilet that I had installed was dripping from the tank and I coudln't figure out why, the upstairs sink's lever that holds water in the sink was broken and the shower curtain kept falling.

Raphael politely, efficiently and cleanly was able to fix all these nagging odds and ends. He clearly explained to me how he did each one and this gave me confidence to call upon this company should I need it again down the future!!

Kitchen Sink, Garage

I liked the company, they are prompt. They did the job but the problem is the bathroom tile came off as a result of their work and they could not fix it. It has been a while and they still have not been able to fix it. Other than that they are a pretty good company.

deck reno

Wood deck around large Norway Maple was built in sections and had begun to heave as a result of tree roots and trunk growth. Deck requires shortening of boards and resetting to obtain a flat surface that would last a number of years. Clifton and his helper came on a Saturday to pull up the sections and determine requirements and then came the following Saturday and completed the job in one day. The deck is in very good shape now and we are using it regularly.

kitchen lighting installation

What a great experience it has been working with Handyman Connection Etobicoke and their talented craftsman, David Othen in particular.

Being referred to them with a glowing recommendation from a friend provided me with a good comfort level as David worked to complete my kitchen lighting project while keeping me informed in layman's terms every step of the way. They have gained my trust and confidence and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Handyman Connection
Etobicoke to anyone considering a home renovation project.

mirrored doors that were damaged during reno

I called The Handyman Connection after reading about them in The Etobicoke Guardian and noticing they had won a Reader's Choice award.
My call was returned promptly and the craftsman arrived right on time as promised. I found him obliging and innovative. I was so glad not to have to replace the doors which were damaged when different contracters put down new hardwood floor. I think it is excellent for
seniors to have a company they can call and be assured of a trustsworthy person coming to the door. You never know when you
call someone from the internet or newspaper.

Painting stone wall, some electrical, garage door

I called Handyman Connection because I had several jobs that I had been wanting to get done for some time, but I couldn't find a reliable handyman. The very pleasant gentleman I spoke to when I called - I regret I can't remember his name - assured me that they do all sorts of jobs, both big and small. Braeden and Dustin began and completed all of the work in the allotted time, even though they ran into some obstacles and encountered difficulty in finding some of the materials I wanted. I also very much appreciated that they gave the same full attention to the largest job - prepping and painting a 30 ft.long, 5 feet high stone wall - as they did to what I call all the little "dumb jobs". They were friendly, polite and patient with my many questions and, best of all, didn't leave any mess to clean up afterwards. I will definitely call Handyman Connection again and recommend them to my neighbours and friends.
