Valve in Bathroom.

Same day service. Arrived in time, worked completed to my satisfaction.

Would have been cheaper if I had all the parts.
Thank you.

Great work

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.

Fix backyard cedar fence

Had a 4 cedar fence posts break due to high winds. Called several companies to fix and all were busy and had to wait for weeks to fix. Called Handyman Connection and they sent someone out the next day for a quote and was on the job the following day.
Carl and his help Shawn were very professional and did an absolutely amazing job and completed the work in 2 days.
Thank you.

Kitchen Plumbing Move

I hired Handyman Connection to do some pluming in our kitchen and this was a big mistake.

The "handyman" that conducted the work was not qualified to do so. Once he was completed I immediately questioned the work quality. The drain and water line positions were incorrect, and poorly angled. After further inspection I realized that the drain slope was incorrect and there was no trap under the floor (there should be for island sinks).

Needless to say, I had to hire a real plumber to redo all of the work.

$500.00

Neil, the plumbing work was completed by a licensed plumber, the work he completed was to run the rough in for the new kitchen island, since it was only rough-in he just cap off the the drain pipe at the future location of the sink. Since you were not satisfied with the work you should have called our office to let us know and we would have rectified to your satisfaction. Im sorry for the you experience and thank you for your feed back.

Frame and Install Bedroom Closet Doors

We contacted Handyman Connections to frame and drywall a closet and two bedroom closets. The handyman and I went to home depot, where i discovered i had to rent a truck to transport the materials which cost me in total over $800.00 .After working alone, on installing 4 out of 8 doors, the handyman then suddenly died suffering a massive heart attack.
The closet doors and casings, drywall and taping were yet to be competed. The company sent Michelle, and another older gentleman , to inspect the work. One closet door was installed backwards and all remaining doors need to be adjusted. We were promised that this handyman would call the next Saturday to complete the job.
However, he never called or showed up. After waiting for weeks they declined to finish the job. This was very unprofessional and I would never recommend them.
