Kitchen Renovation

We recently had our kitchen completely renovated by Handyman Connection.
A step by step detailed quote was provided listing such items as Demolition and disposal, Framing and structural work, Electrical, Drywall and plaster, Painting, Tile work and Miscellaneous work so there was no surprises along the way.
The Handyman Connection consists of a team of very courteous and professional trades. Great follow-up, renovation suggestions and they even cleaned up the job site daily prior to leaving.
We would highly recommend Handyman Connection, we love our new kitchen! They have provided us with a Custom detailed look, for a fraction of the cost.
Thanks once again!

Adding stone veneer to fireplace

Handyman Connection added a stone veneer to our fireplace and fixed & trimmed some IKEA cabinets to make them look like built-in cabinets in our basement family room.

The project ran into some initial problems where the first employee wasn't aware how to work with the product we had selected. We raised our concerns to the office, who took us very seriously. Fadi, the owner, came to inspect and agreed the work needed to be improved. He arranged for another employee to correct the situation, at no extra charge to us. This included buying new product.

We are very pleased with the outcome and we found Fadi to be understanding and very accomodating. I would recommend this company.

Great Service, Great Work

I really like this company. From the moment we called them, they were very professional and courteous. I had insulation installed throughout the house. Andre was great, got the job done on time. He was very patient with us when the job was being scoped out, answered all of our questions, and got us comfortable with the scope and price.

Emil was great as well and even offered a discount on the next job given I was happy with the job and likely to use them again. Importantly, prices are reasonable compared to other options and the variety of things they can do means I am likely to use them again.

Door handle install

“Michael did a great job of installing and finding a solution for our exterior door handle problem. He took the time to complete what should have been a straight forward door handle install to spending most of the day getting a new door handle and installing the new handle. He also adjusted both of our doors. He was very patient throughout the job and I know he had to juggle another job in order to accommodate our install.”

Installation of Dishwasher

Andy, the manager sent a service person Dave to remove and install a new dishwasher. Original quote was $200.end price was $376.00. Dave was overwhelmed by the project as it required some fine physical maneuvering to place an electrical box which he said outright that he was physically unable to do. Hence, he left the dishwasher jutting out as a result dishwasher could not close properly and refused to add water. Dave got frustrated and indicated that he was moving on to his next customer....and perhaps would be back after his first customer of the next day. He became very sultry, when I indicated, that I was calling his office. Best move ever. I spoke to Andy the Office Manager, who sent out Fadi, who rectified everything! Definately overpaid but Fadi was phenomenal!

Christmas Present to Me!

I was planning to get a new bathroom sink, taps etc in January. So when the tap came loose this past week I called your company for a quick repair, just to get me to the New Year. Not only did your plumber help with the measurement and what I might need in the future, when asked, he was able to buy and install new taps, pipes, a lovely sink and cabinet, all in a few hours, same day, and at a reasonable price. The work is complete, no January shopping for me. And no plumbing worries over the holidays. . We have used your services for all home repairs over many, many years, and have always been completely satisfied.

Replacemnt of vanity bathroom faucets

Khalid A came on Sunday (regular day off) to install faucets. The simple job was way more complicated and took much extra time, He did not complain, provided extra materials, cleaned up and checked his work on completion. I would highly recommend his work ethic and dedication to doing a great job. My willingness to use Handyman Connection has been restored after a previous somewhat negative experience.

Emil and the helpful staff at the office were all great to work with. We found all of the people at this company very professional and friendly, and found the work that they did to be very well done. Slightly high cost, but still reasonable. We will definitely recommend this company to others!

Handyman Jobs

After moving into our first home almost 2 years ago we found that there were little jobs around the house that we just did not have time and sometimes the skill to attend to. We came across Handyman Connection last year and have had them come in a few times to do work for us.
- Put up wall hangings and large mirror
- Put up blinds
- Replace BBQ gas shutoff
- Replace outdoor garden faucet
- Repair a section of our bathroom ceiling that had water damage

All jobs were all done very well and we have had a great experience with the folks who came to do the jobs as well as the folks in the office.

Overall we are very pleased with Handyman Connection and will be using them in the future as things come up.
