AVOID AT ALL COSTS

"Andy" asked for a deposit in order to "put together an OFFICIAL quote" to start working on a renovation. I ended up deciding not to hire "Andy" before an official quote was put together and long before any work was scheduled to start. "Andy" refuses to give my deposit back after doing zero work because it cost him gas and time to come out and see the job to give a rough quote. He even advertises free estimates and yet is claiming $500 is for his gas and time.

EDIT: Responding to his reply below

A) There is no contract which is why it's wrong of you to keep my money. B) Posting someone's address just shows people the type of person you are.

Hi Justin!!

Yes, we do provide a free estimate however that applies to only the first visit. In this case, I came to your place 3 times personally, had to pay a drywall crew to come by for a 4th visit ($100), had to buy custom screws for the work ($200), and made floor plans for the job. We had set a start date and after all of that you messaged me at the last minute to say that you wanted to cancel the project. That is why I had no choice but to keep the initial deposit.

Repair exterior cracks & paint house. Demo porch and build a new one.

Handy Andy found creative ways to repair the cracks in exterior of house, which posed a major structural issue, sand, resurface, finish & and paint the entire house including the aluminum siding. Andy sourced the highest quality products to ensure the repairs will be permanent. We're thrilled with the modern look and the comfort that our exterior is now re-enforced , safe and weather resistant. Handy Andy and his team took enormous pride in their workmanship. They also demo'd the original concrete front porch and built a a new one. Additionally, Handy Andy waterproofed the basement wall where the previous porch was attached to the foundation. We have some longer terms projects in mind and we look forward to working with Handy Andy in the future.

Drywalling and painting my whole basement

Handy Andy Renovation did an amazing job in my basement, him and his team were responsible for making me get the city of Hamilton required height for my basement ceilling.
The team came in and tore down my basement ceilling,made adjustment to it, and rebuilt another ceilling.
I would say from drywalling the ceilling to painting and cleaning up of all the mess in a timely manner was on point.
I recommend this company to anyone and also I got a good and realiable pricing from Andy, compared to other quotes I bid for.

Kitchen Reno

My experience with Handy Andy Renovations was top notch! I was very skeptical in hiring anybody to do work as I have heard about the horror stories. Handy Andy instantly put my mind at ease, very thorough with problems that he may see, next steps and best suggestions.

The experience we had made my family feel like Handy Andy was part of the family and had my best interest in mind. I would fully use Handy Andy again for ANY work that I have in my household.

Basement Renovations and Foundation Work

We had leaks in our foundation, and so the finished part of our basement suffered some unfortunate damage as a result.

Andy was incredibly responsive and available from the start, which is something I don't often see from contractors and is always appreciated. Andy and his crew completely gutted a great deal of the basement, sealed the leaks/damage on the inside and dug around the house and did the same to the outside. He then replaced the walls, floors and ceiling of the basement, as well as the trim and repainting. He also touched up a few areas he came across without adding it to the total cost.

Throughout the project he was in constant communication, and given the size of the project was present for a few weeks. He and his crew were incredibly respectful to my family during this time, and once everything was finished, the mess was all removed.

Would 100% recommend working with his team!
