Washer and Dryer Machines Relocation

We moved our washing machine and a dryer to the basement and contracted Mark Powney from Handyman Connections to do the job. We found him very polite, knowledgeable and well organized. We feel very confident with the work he completed. It is very accurate and clean. He was very helpful explaining what has to be done and why and showed his professionalism throughout the entire work. We are very happy with the work done and would definitely recommend Mark to all our friends. Thanks for being such a great handyman!!!!

Ivy Removal

I arrived home to find they had neatly removed and bagged the destructive ivy that was penetrating my window screens and roof shingles.
It was a real pleasure doing business with them, and I would definitely use them again, should the need arise.

bathroom renovation

Our bathroom had not been touched in about 20 years and the vanity was disgusting. Jon and his helper came and did a wonderful job. The before and after was amazing. They came on time and went right to work every day. The whole job took only about two and a half days. The were very professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Thanks so much. Susan

Install Inset Medicine Cabinet

The handyman came and installed the medicine cabinet. However, he made a mistake. By measuring wrong the screws that held in the wood to hold the cabinet were visible. The plan was to have the edge of the cabinet cover the screw heads. The screw heads were plastered over but, of course, it is still very visible. It's annoying because I now have the cost of painting the wall which was unanticipated an unnecessary if the job was done properly. Also, I have a newborn so I am not painting any time soon.

Mistakes happen.

However, the owner of this franchise knew of this issue and did not proactively reach out to me to make it right. I called almost a week later and at that point he offered 25 "Handyman Bucks" not dollars. 6.25% of the cost of the job. He thought it was generous, I did not.

All in all, a disappointment.

Installing an exhaust fan in the basement washroom.

After reading a previous review about Mark doing a good job installing an exhaust fan in the washroom, I decided to call Handyman since I have the same need. Mark came and planned out the best way to connect the vent hose to the outside. Then on installation day, we went to the hardware store to purchase everything that we need including renting a drill to bore a hole through the brick wall. Mark is thorough and meticulous in his work. The final result turns out very well. I would definitely recommend Handyman to all my friends.

We appreciate you taking the time to provide honest and
positive feedback about our skilled trades. Fact is these
individuals are the first to hear when something goes wrong
and seldom get the pat on the back they often deserve. Mark
will be please with your comments.

Finish room in basement

We called Handyman Connection after receiving their ad in the mail and they sent Don to give the estimate and to do the job. We needed someone to help us finish a room in our unfinished basement, from new studs to drywall to electrical work to window box construction. We could not have been happier with Don's disposition, work ethic and quality of work. His attention to detail is inspiring and he clearly enjoys his job. Many thanks to Handyman Connection and Don for helping us with our project.

Bathroom exhaust fan installation

He was efficient and knew what he was doing.
I was prepared for a long session, but he had the fan and the cover installed within five minutes.
I have finally found a handyman who knows what to do!
