Crown Molding

Handyman Connection has a central number that you call when you need things done around the house. I called them for Crown Molding because my husband did not have the tools or the inclination to do the job. The fellow they sent was prompt and polite; he brought a huge circular saw to do the angles and set up in my backyard to minimize mess. He got the living room/dining room done in an afternoon, including the caulking along the bottom edge and on the corner seams and then he cleaned up after himself. The result was seamless and all we had to do was paint. It added a contemporary elegance to the rooms and added value.

plumbing relocation main bathroom

After 8 estimates we decided to go with Handyman Connection Mississauga. All the plumbers said that this would be their first steam shower and a few took pictures of the extensive plumbing system. We chose Raphael as he took the time to explain in detail that this installation may have changes made as this was a difficult system to install and he would keep me informed from the start to the finish. Raphael showed up on time and after going over the installation decided that this would be custom work other then the connections to the steam shower supply lines. Raphael noted that since the steam shower base was above the floor that the best way to redirect the plumbing would be above the floor as the steam shower unit would hide the actual plumbing. I was amazed that when he was finished with the copper lines it was like looking at an artist's work as there was a natural flow in all the elbows that both hot and cold were the same height bends and length. The pvc drainpipes were tight in space and Raphael worked his magic as he moved all the plumbing so that there was a better flow towards the drain. Near the end of the job Raphael decided that he didn't think one section of the drainpipe was adequate with the flow of the water into the drain and changed a couple pieces that made the water drain quicker. I enjoyed the hours we spent together as he took the time to educate me on what was what and why he was doing the plumbing job in as he progressed through the job.
Raphael said at the beginning that since this was a complex job that the price of the quote might be changed as this was all custom work.
The price Raphael estimated remained the same even though he decided that a couple items should be changed after installation and this is the sign that he cares about his workmanship as well as stands behind it.
Raphael we thank you and look forward to our next renovation in 2012 as the kitchen will be renovated. I also thank Handyman Connection for having the staff that answer the phones to booking appointments that they are also professionals.

Painting, lighting, bathroom, furniture assembly

I have hired the craftsmen via Handyman Connection for a number of smaller projects. Not only were these projects completed ahead of time, the craftsmen were neat, professional, and friendly. Workmanship is excellent! Many thanks to the team at Handyman Connection for their help!

Multiple projects, multiple times used

When we purchased our home in 2010, we called HandyMan Connection for new closet builds, floor laying, door installations, bathroom remodelling, duct work and some electrical work. Ria recommended Steve for our jobs. Steve was always available to give suggestions, how to cut costs down, and was always willing to teach us why something had to be done and how to do it. Steve went so much above and beyond for us that he even drove us to Home Depot to buy products together. He brought all the products to my home which took around 2 hours of his time for shopping and driving but did not charge us a penny for his time. Steve's end products were fantastic. I couldn't have asked for anything more. This year, I called Steve back in to replace some venting, toilets and remove and install a new side garage door. This was a very annoying project as the door originally was set in concrete. Even throughout the trouble, Steve kept a smile on his face.
The office is very friendly as well but sometimes their organization needs work. My name was spelt incorrectly multiple times on paper work. Pay attention to that stuff.
I would highly suggest HandyMan Connection and Steve for your work. They have always been good to me from a service and price point of view. The handymen are great and definitely know what they are talking about.

What could this company do to improve their services?
Pay closer attention to organization in the office. Knowing what customers flyers were sent to, spelling names properly etc.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Steve is great! I have received many quotes for projects but have always gone with Steve and HandyMan Connection

Basement Renovation

It was a long and exciting journey for us. Everyday from work we would rush home to see the progress and were seldom disappointed. When we spoke with Paul, we knew he could see our vision. Paul's eye for details and his diligence in doing the job the best way possible has been well worth it. Whenever there was an issue brought up, Paul and Ria would sort it out immediately. This was the first time we had a major renovation done. We have hear horror stories of jobs like this not being completed or not done to code. Having Handyman Connection on our side alleviated much of the stress involved in a project of this magnitude. If we ever have the need for a handyman whether big or small, we will definitely call Handyman Connection. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to Paul and Ria.

Remove and replace laundry tub and faucet

Raphael came to give me an estimate on the cost of removing and replacing our (very) old laundry tub and faucet along with the time it would take to complete the job. I found him to be very friendly and lively at our first meeting. After discussing the cost estimate (which I found reasonable and competitive with other companies) with my spouse, we decided to go with Handyman Connection. Raphael returned to do the job and he managed to keep a friendly and lively conversation going on throughout the work and even though the old laundry tub and faucet were a little hard to remove at first. Additionally, the job got a little complicated (at least to me but probably not to him) because Raphael had to shorten the pipes leading to the new faucet and redirect the drain pipe under the tub. However, he never lost his cool. Overall, Raphael did a great job, he was within the time estimate he gave to complete the job, and I would definitely recommend Raphael to anyone who needs a plumbing job done. As for Handyman Connection, I have a few non-plumbing projects around the house, and I hope the other people they send over are just as nice as Raphael.

Repairing electrical light fixtures and replacing outlets, plumbing, installing locks

We used Handyman Connection to correct discrepancies found during a home inspection when moving into a new home. We received excellent service. No job is too small! Particularly like the way they will go to the hardware store and buy all the materials needed too. Handyman connection makes all those annoying DIY projects painless!
