Vail Renovations And Handyman Services

Recently and one year ago, we had Bill from Vail Renovations do repairs and painting in an apartment in Ottawa. The apartment is rented as furnished. The owners of the apartment reside in Toronto and I, also a resident of Toronto was asked to oversee the repairs and painting of this apartment. Many of the arrangements made with Bill were made using email and phone conversation and ultimately resulted in my travelling to Ottawa for the finality of the project. I found Bill to have completed the tasks he was asked to do within the time he had estimated. As well, all furnishings, flooring etc. in the apartment had been protected during the painting process and remain as they were before he started the work. The paint job was immaculate. The repairs made were done expertly. The owners of the apartment were made aware of his work and are happy to depend on him again should the need arise. I also found him easy to work with and accommodating during the long distant relationship. I strongly recommend his services and expertise. Louise. Toronto, On.

I’m glad I hired Vail Renovations to finish my basement. He had great suggestions in helping me get my ideal basement and he had it all done in the time frame that I wanted. Know bring on the Super Bowl party.

Bill quickly assessed the work to be done, quoted a reasonable price and got started when he said he would. He offered helpful suggestions to make the project even better than originally planned. He was completely honest as well -- when we asked if he could install carpeting, he admitted he hadn't done so professionally before. He recommended an excellent carpet supplier (End of the Roll - Merivale Rd.) instead. We'll call Bill first the next time we need handyman services.

I am glad I located Bill at HomeStars. Through a couple of projects, I know Bill really well. He is a funny man to work with. Very knowledgeable and honest. The garage insulation is a 10 plus job, well under budget. The kitchen renovation is a breeze too, under budget and within schedule. Soon after that, I have been using him for all kinds of work, plumbing and everything I don't want to or don't know how to. He did it really well.

Anyway I highly recommend Bill.

Bill was on time, pro-active with suggestions and did meticulous work. He was very helpful in connecting me with folks I needed: a great stager, a fantastic painter and a smart real estate agent.
Our house sold for $130K more than we paid 2 years earlier. I won't say this was all Bill's doing :) but he certainly had a hand in that.
Thank you!!!

Athough I would easily agree that Bill of Vail Renovations is pleasant and he seems to do good work (given my very limited experience with the kind of work he can do) BUT, scheduling is a nightmare. 3 dates were given and not respected, and I was informed on ly the same day or the evening prior. Anyone who has to schedule a day off work for Bill to come to their home can expect delays and last minute changes as he juggles workload and requests; he seems to treat clients differently, based on the value ($) of the job.
Over 6 months ago, I purchased 3 (group) vouchers giving me 3-days of Bill Vail's Handyman services. Since then, my constant request has been quite simple and reasonable: Book a date, near or far, and stick to it. I am still waiting.
Commitment and communication are compounding issues; my last email to him September 17, remains unanswered.

Bill was very accommodating in respecting my schedule. Bill is very reliable and eager for work well done. The furniture was moved quickly and professionally. The assembly of the furniture was just as effective. In short, I highly recommend contacting Bill for all your projects! It was a positive experience for my company.

Bill came in to replace my outside tap that was leaking, and also to put back some drywall I had removed..; the job was done quick and fast..and I happy that I did business with Vail Renovations....Jean
