Deck Experience

Alex and one of his teams built a new deck for me and I am impressed by the quality and speed. They did everything from the eath preparation to the finishing trim work. The deck is solid as a stone mountain and looks great. They finished it in 3 days and it awesome. I also received some discount as for first order from them. Definitely, recommend them and will come back again on future projects.

Backyard fence, gates and landscaping

8’ horizontal fence installed over 73 linear feet - weeping tile was installed free of charge! Two privacy gates also installed. Old grass was removed, soil was sloped to avoid flooding and new grass was installed. Old tree stumps were removed and five new cedars were plants, the latter freed of charge. Very satisfied with pricing, quick turnaround and ability to help with whatever we asked. Highly recommend Alex and his team.

Basement Bathroom

We hired Captain Handy to renew our basement bathroom. They did a great job with high quality and their customer service made the experience pleasant. Alex and Muki came to us for an appointment and we discussed all the details. Then we got a contract, sign and fix the project start date. They started on time and ended on time. Team leader Muki was exceptional with the attention to every detail. We are happy with the results.

Fantastic Condo Patio Upgrade

When we decided to upgrade our dated townhouse back patio we found the stone we wanted and then started to search for a contractor to do the work for us. After serveral broken commitments and no-shows, we were fortunate to find Captain Handy. Alex was the only contractor to respond without having to being asked more than once or chased for an answer. We figured because we were a "small" job, we would be at the bottom of the list as far as priorities. That was not the case with Captain Handy. They came when they said they would, stayed until the job was finished (a bit earlier than estimated) and did great work. The team was friendly and did a great cleanup. Would highly recommend Alex and the team and will definitely be using them again with a couple of other projects we have in mind.

Backyard

Captain Handy (Alex) and his team did a wonderful job at my backyard in the middle of August. I choose this company because one of my friends recommended them and he has a good experience with them before. Alex is patient with his clients and spends time explaining the project so I understood exactly what they’re getting done. His team is well organized and did everything on time. I’ve had other contractors come out to do work in the past at my property but I have never had a wonderful and pleasant experience as this company has given me, thank you, Alex.

After Renovation Clean

We have been using Captain Handy cleaning services for several times and this time we invited them after some renovation in our home.
The team arrived on time and started the cleaning process, after several hours it has been finished. I can tell that they are very professional.
Efficient and home-friendly service. Thank you from your constant customers :)

They are pulled in all directions trying to be everything to everyone. At Captain Handy Co, we focus on one customer, you, the homeowner. We have a singular focus on bringing you the best landscaping and interior renovation, the best customer service, and the best value for your home.
