Handyman services

Glen came on time to my home. I had some plumbing, electrical and a little painting that needed to be tended to. He managed to get it all done in one full day . I am very pleased with how well everything is running now and looks. I found his pricing quite reasonable compared to other quotes I received before his.

Glen was fantastic at every job we asked of him. He was very easy to work with. He installed a toilet and two faucets as well as re-caulked our tubs as well he also gave us good advice on other issues. I found his pricing very reasonable and would highly recommend him.

Basic Handyman jobs

Glen did a good job of reinstalling a coat rack and 2 shelves on a wall and replacing magnetic catches on my shutters. He also fixed the hinges on one of my shutters. It was all very basic handyman work and I have no complaints about his workmanship.
The only negative part is his quote for the jobs I gave him.
Glen told me by phone that he charges $85/hour and 2 hour minimum charge.
He finished his tasks in 3 hours. His bill came to $384.20. He should have been more honest and say $170 for the first hour and $85 each hour after. I asked him to waive the 2 hour minimum for a 2nd jog but his response was "I don't do that for anybody." Then he said $150 for the firs hour or less. I passed on his offer.

Hi Andy. I am very sorry you are not happy with the amount that we quoted you for your jobs. We charged you exactly what we said it would be. As I did explain the exact charges before you asked us to help. You did not question the charge upon payment. Thank you for your Buisiness. Glen

Odd jobs - kitchen and bathroom

Glen was a fantastic HomeStars find!
I don’t have an ounce of common sense when it comes to odd jobs around the house and Glen listened to all my items and gave me detailed information on what to pick up in advance. He was quick to schedule a day to come in and they arrived early and worked quickly. Glen explained everything he was doing it and had me review each task after he completed it. Everything was cleaned up and left exactly as it was when they arrived. Courteous and very friendly – I would recommend Glen and Mark to anyone!

Clear on Everything

We were getting my mother's home ready for sale. There were many small jobs that fell between the cracks of the various contractors. Glen was great. He was in constant contact in advance to ensure the right tools and materials were ready before he got there. When he arrived, he was honest about what he could manage in a day. He was also good about advising on priorities for repair given the situation. All the work he did (replacing door handles, repairing a rotted window sill, fixing cabinets, filling holes in a driveway) was done professionally.

Helpful and professional

Glen was on time and efficient, and made his way through the long list of small jobs around my condo, including shelves for a closet and furniture assembly. Will hire him again and be recommending him to family and friends.

This and that

My daughter bought a condo and needed a number of items looked after - everything from changing plumbing and electrical fixtures, attaching shelves to the wall and adding closet organizers. Glen and his helper responded quickly, showed up on time with the right tools and completed everything g on the list. All the jobs were done quickly and correctly - no mess, no redoing jobs. I would definitely hire Glen again next time I have work to do.

Home renovations

We had a long list of projects to repair at our house. We asked him to buy the materials and he did gladly. He was reliable, dependable, punctual, trustworthy and easy to work with.

We have since booked him for more projects such as painting and furniture assembly.

We recommend him 100℅ and will continue to use his services.

Mudroom - partial completion

I would recommend Glen if you have small jobs that you are unable to complete yourself or can be completed by Glen in 6 hours.
Points to note:
Glen arrives on time
He advised the price up front (192.10 for the first hour of each day then 96.05 after that) - cash only
He can only work approx 6 hour days so anything longer he will come back and the first hour is charged at the higher rate.
My project involved removing the metal ceiling in the mudroom, installing drywall and insulation in ceiling and trim around the top. If he was faster, I would have had him seal the corners and paint as well.
this is a small job so finding a contractor at a very busy time was difficult hence I looked for a handyman.
A couple of pieces of drywall were cut short so the trim could not cover the gap and the small piece of trim that had been put up came away from the ceiling that night.
After a full two days, it was not even close to being complete so I decided to have someone else complete the project.
I requested an invoice at the time and by email but did not receive anything.
