Leak in the bathroom

My bathroom was leaking and called Handy Boydz. They came by within the hour to take a look at it. Alex and Brandon identified the cause of the leak and gave me a couple of options. One of which was replacing the toilet as the tank was spraying water. Since I was looking to replace the toilet sooner rather than later, I went and picked it up that day. They swung by next morning and installed the toilet fairly quickly.

Later in the day I noticed a patch on my ceiling of my dining room. I called them to have them check it out. They were there within 30 mins and uninstalled everything to verify that it wasn't from the new toilet. It wasn't. Likely, it was just water seeping down from the original leak.

I really appreciated their quick response and their willingness to come by and double check everything. Overall they are very polite, helpful and reliable and provide very reasonable quotes for work they can do and referrals for other things that they can't.

I would and have since called them back for other tasks and would gladly continue to do so in the future.

Fix shoddy workmanship from previous contractor

We had hired another contractor to finish our basement (review on here for 'prestige contracting and design) and were left with an absolute nightmare of horrible workmanship/unfinished job and a host of problems. We then sought out HandyBoydz after reading their reviews online. They did not disappoint. They fixed the mess we were left with - tore out and redid entire bathroom, fixed cabinet doors, bedroom door, some plumbing and had an amazing electrician come in to fix things as well. We are beyond happy with the job they did! We would highly recommend. After being burned by another contractor SO happy to see that honest/trustworthy and hardworking contractors are out there and you will find just that with Alex/Brandon from Handyboydz!

Did not return to do quotes

They came in to do a very small job in my home and handled it well. While there I showed them some major interior and exterior work. They said they would come back to provide an estimate. They did not come back. I called a couple of times and I also sent a couple of texts. When I called they said they would set up a date and time and did not. Never responded to my texts.

Bathroom Fan

We contacted the HandyBoydz due to their very favourable review on HomeStars and we were not disappointed. They replaced and vented our bathroom fan to the outside plus replaced our dryer vent which had become an entry point for mice. We wouldn't hesitate to have them back for further jobs and would recommend them to friends.

Handyman List

Alex and Brandon were extremely pleasant to deal with and went through my list in a timely matter. I also found their pricing very reasonable. They installed some quarter round, trim, and a fluorescent light cover. They also trimmed three doors and rehung them. I would highly recommend HandyBoydz to anyone. They come with a well equipped truck, and I feel they are very capable of doing any maintenance work you need done around your house. I will be using this company again!

Multi renos in my home. Impressive Work!

Alex and Brandon did multiple jobs at my home including two bathroom renos. One of those bathrooms required almost an entire gut. They did my laundry room reno, flooring in two bathrooms and laundry room, installation of lighting, faucets, sinks, hanging of bifold doors in three bedrooms and front foyer, baseboard installation and 1/4 round throughout the while home, OTR microwave installation, hanging of a chandelier and the list goes on. They did a stellar job on each and every project on the list I had provided them with.
Alex and Brandon barely took a break each day. They cleaned up after themselves prior to leaving at the end of the work day.
Without any hesitation I would recommend The HandyBoydz for work needed around your home. Give them a call, you will be glad you did.

Their work ethic is commendable. If your project requires ingenuity and thinking outside the box, the Boyd brothers will find it.
I would recommend The HandBoydz for anyone needing quality work done around their home.

Home repair and maintenance

I'm rarely home with work, gym and life! The HandyBoydz showed up and did all the work I needed done outside the house. They were accommodating, efficient and took care of all my needs to give me peace of mind. When life happens it's so worth it to have experts alleviate the workload and have it done right! I would definitely recommend their services

Not a great experience

They quote you one price for a certain amount of work and that is not what it ends up being. Please be cautious. Will definitely not be using them again.

We appreciate all reviews and this review proves you just can't please everyone. We strive to satisfiy our customers to the upmost of our abilities, and our track record proves that 10/10 stars. It is unfortunate this "private user" must of had some confusion between the differences of an "estimate" and a "quote" as most of our customers realize we never really know what the total costs will be until the job is completed. We apologize for an inconvenience this may have caused.
