Multiple small jobs

We needed deck painting, plumbing and some other odd jobs done. Jalil from Tim the Handman Mississauga, was knowledgeable, honest and very detail oriented. The rates were comparable to other quotes, mid-range.

Brad and his colleague were fantastic. Affable, reliable, and efficient. His communication on pricing was clear. On location the work was done with precision. We were very pleased and will use services from Tim The Handyman again.

Removal of stove; patching cielings

Unfortunately, our experience with this company was disappointing. Very poor communication. Sanding and painting work has been left unfinished and emails and follow up messages have been unanswered. Unreliable. Will not repeat.

Large fee just for evaluation

I contacted this company because I have a list of odd jobs to be done in and around my home. I gave a list and included pictures. They wouldn't give me itemized prices but DID tell me that there is a $95 plus tax evaluation charge just to come and take a look. This is unfair business practice and I refuse to pay this exorbitant amount. BUYER BEWARE!!!

Installation of 2 indoor portable air conditioners

Arrived on time, had all necessary tools, listened to my instructions and worked steady for approx.2 hours. These 2 jobs involved much measuring and sealing and I was very satisfied with the work he did. Plan to hire him again.

Excellent service, guaranteed pricing!

Booking process is fully electronic, so is payment. Service is very prompt. I've had Tim do two repairs for me in the past, and I'll definitely book him again when something comes up in my condo.

Kitchen Appliance handles

Our kitchen has a flat panel fridge and dishwasher. We did not have handles installed initially (for the look), but eventually realized our choice was impractical. We bought handles and looked for a professional to do the job. We asked several different contractors who seemed disinterested. We found Tim at the end of our search and we're thankful for it! Tim was polite and took some time to research our equipment, checked with us on preferences, stuck to the quoted price. Prompt & precise. Small things matter! Our kitchen is finally complete!

Fence and deck repair

From first contact to job completion, everything about this experience was first rate. Tim is very personable and takes the time to explain what needs to be done as well as offer suggestion for future upkeep that will help avoid problems. One of his best qualities is the ability to think 'outside of the box' to come up with innovative solutions (as opposed to the Grandiose visions most would advise) that save you money and leave you happy. I am already planning my next project and will happily offer Tim the job.

TimTheHandyman cost

I hired Tim to complete some small repairs in our house - some drywall, some plumbing. While on site, Tim explained that what I had wanted done with the bathtub would require a plumber - which he wasn't. So instead, he offered to complete some other work I had pointed out while we were touring the condo (i.e. repairing the front closet sliding door). I agreed, but in hindsight I shouldn't have. The work was well done (especially the drywall), but the cost was excessive given that the plumbing, which was part of the original estimate, wasn't done.

Tim was here for 4 hours, including initial tour and clean-up, and the total cost was $795 ($703 plus tax) - i.e. around $150/hour + materials. Work completed included 3 small drywall patches, two small sections of trim, purchasing and placing a fastener between two pipes under the kitchen sink, and re-screwing a press-board sliding door in the entrance-way closet, so cost of materials I think was less than $100 (I supplied the paint).

In summary: If you decide to use Tim, don't renegotiate the work to be done on the fly, without also renegotiating the price. That was I think my mistake. Be very clear and detailed about what you want done when requesting the original estimate and stick to that, don't agree to change it once Tim is already onsite.

Company Response

Hi Brian,
we are very sorry that you don't feel that you received a good price for the work that was done. That being said, you did agree to the exact work that was completed, and as you have stated above, that work was completed properly.

In the quote that you requested originally, we had given you a price and explained that that price was based on "no new materials being needed." You agreed to this in the emails, and that is why we came out to do the work. But when we arrived it became apparent that new materials would in fact be needed for the plumbing issues. We chose to ignore this part of the contract and actually go out and get you materials for the one sink issue which was an easy fix, but for your other ones you decided to trade that work for other items that needed completing in your house.

It is difficult for us to know what we should have done, when you agreed to this as we talked it through at your house. We also thank you for your payment, as you acknowledged that the work was done when we were finished that day.

We appreciate you acknowledging that the work was done well. We certainly aren't the cheapest people in the city, and nor do we aim to be, as we have developed several methods of completing complicated work in a shorter period of time that saves our customers headaches and complications of having contractors there for long periods of time.

Home Renovations

Amazing! We would hire Tim again for any other work in our home. There were a number of renovations to be done - some a little tricky - and Tim did an impeccable job. He is thoughtful and has a keen eye for detail, which is so important in this line of work. I greatly appreciated his work ethic and he stayed true to all agreed deadlines.
