Handyman Connection Calgary

The process from start to finish was clear and easy. Work was done professionally and the contractor was a pleasure to deal with. I would use this service for other projects.

The framing and cladding around my front door was damaged when I moved large furniture into the house. I had Handyman Connection come out to fix my door frame ahead of having a Phantom screen installed (by a different company). Martin took one look at the frame and let me know I didn't need to fix anything and, furthermore, didn't need to be concerned about the integrity of the frame either (I have an older house).
Wow, it was nice to get genuinely helpful advice without the pressure to purchase (what would be unneeded) work!

We had a hard-to-fink leak going on from our bathroom onto our kitchen ceiling. After cutting a hole in the ceiling and still having no luck, we had Robert from Handyman Connections come by. He was professional, thorough and cleaned as he worked, which I really appreciate. He found the leak and advised us on next steps without any upselling etc. All around great experience.

Three small jobs - 2 took less than 10 minutes to complete. The last one was cleaning out my gutters, which are all on one level. He didn't have his ladder with him (what?) anyway, he had to go home to get it. The entire job, including his travel time to go get his ladder, which I should not be charged for, took about an hour. I timed him so I know exactly when he got here, how long it took him to go get his ladder and when he left. I was charged (including WCB (why am I paying for that?), and GST of $248.06. Way too much for what he did although the job was done satisfactorily. I feel I was overcharged by about 35% and the total should not have been more than $150. Cleaning out gutters does not involve any special talent or skills so I fail to see where this job was worth what I paid.

I am feeling robbed, taken advantage of, and I am having serious buyers remorse after my experience with HandyMan Connection.

I was significantly over charged for a plumbing job. I was charged $420 labour to install a new kitchen faucet. I pre-purchased all the materials myself. Yes, I take accountability in that I agreed to the initial quote and had the right to say no and shop around. But, I trusted Handyman Connection and I needed the job done immediately. The contractor was smooth and even stated he was giving me a $50 discount. He called his “office” and said he was charging me the standard amount. At the moment, I was led to believe that was a fair price.

He was in my home for less than an hour.

I did not feel good about the price after he left. I decided to call various plumbers with BBB A+ ratings and in business for more than 10 years for quotes. I did not get a quote above $200. Between seven companies I got quotes between $130 and $180. I am feeling robbed of $250!

It took 3 weeks for a manager to return my many calls. After speaking with HandyMan Connection, they claim the contractor is efficient and charges for the job not for the hour. Other contractors may not have been able to complete the job in less than an hour. I am not buying this excuse. I do not believe the contractor that came to my home is the only expert plumber in the city capable of an easy installation of a kitchen faucet in under an hour. Handyman Connection charged me for the equivalent of almost 3 hours work for a job that took 30 minutes.

This is the second time I encountered a problem with a contractor from Handyman Connection. The first time I had a contractor who hit on my mother during the job and made her uncomfortable in our home. I had to request a new handyman mid-job and then renegotiate a price as the original contractor’s price was not honoured. My mother and I also had to deal with weeks of repeated phone call to our home from the original contractor.

Sadly, I will not be using HandyMan Connection again nor would I recommend them. I do not trust the contractors they work with. I understand nothing can be done to resolve my concerns but I would like it noted how upsetting it was to deal with Handyman Connection.

David did a terrific job building a new landing and step at our back door. He was efficient and meticulous, and we are very pleased with the result. Thank you, David, and Handyman Connection!

We had the interior of our house painted by Bryan and he did a wonderful job. He did a beautiful job and was very clean, efficient and very easy to work with. Our house looks totally refreshed, we are very happy with the service we received.

Added extra shelving to my laundry room and now able to organize it better! Service was prompt and quote was accurate, I have already booked more work for next week!

Howard did an amazing job fixing a disaster in my bathroom that was created by another contracting company. I am extremely happy with his work - it's better than new. Thanks, Howard!

It was emergency! We needed to rent the property quickly. Job well done promptly. Thanks Ross for being caring! That’s awesome of you. God bless you real good. Satisfied costumer
