Fireplace Makeover

Just had my first experience with the Pretty Handy Guy....and it won't be my last. John is a joy to work with. He has a great eye for detail and I am very pleased with the fireplace paint job and the stunning new ceiling in my powder room. I am working on my list of jobs and can't wait to have him back the next time. I highly recommend John to anyone who needs a Pretty Handy Guy.

Paint and Wallpaper to Perfection

The Pretty Handy Guy (John), was an absolute gem to work with from the get-go. Quick, accurate, detailed estimates, professional with a great personality to make the whole process fun. Strong communication through the project via email. He even shifted some work to accommodate our schedule and then nailed a beautiful interior paint job and applied wallpaper to a feature wall in our home which looks stunning. He was completed on time, tidied up each day and was a 5 star service to work with. I would highly recommend working with John for whatever handy man job you have - as he had quoted on other tasks outside of painting, which we will surely be calling him for in the future. Thanks Pretty Handy Guy!

Laundry room dryer vent repair

Exceptional work, professional and friendly. It is almost impossible to find a handyman however I was very fortunate to have found John. He arranged a day/time that was convenient, advised the amount of time needed and price was very reasonable. I am creating a to do list and look forward to John completing the work for me. I would highly recommend John for all your home projects.

Garage Dry Wall

After researching various "handy man" companies, I decided to give Pretty Handy Guy "John" a call regarding a project to dry wall my garage. As busy as he was, he was able to review the job, give some suggestions and provided me with a competitive quote to dry wall and complete the first mudding. Between John's very busy schedule (which is a good that he is in such demand) and my busy schedule at work, we were able to negotiate a date to complete the work. The dry wall was delivered on time and John arrived at ETA provided. The installation went very well and the mudding was completed. He had all the tools required for completion of the project. John also thoroughly cleaned up after the job, like he was never there. My garage is now ready for my storage organization plan. Looking forward to have the Pretty Handy Guy complete several projects in the future. Thanks John!!

#1 Painter

I needed two rooms painted and shelving built for over my new fridge. The first person I thought of, after I realized I could not handle this project on my own, was "Pretty Handy Guy". He lives in my neighbourhood and I see his truck everywhere. He was professional, efficient and highly skilled at preparing and painting my kitchen and family room. He even helped me with the impossible task of choosing my "greige" paint colour. My mother-in-law walked in while he was painting and loved his work. Now he's quoting a job at her house too.

Built-In Bookshelves

When we needed some shelves installed in our family room beside our newly installed fireplace and the only one I would trust with the job was John. He immediately came to mind as we had him do some work a few years prior and was very impressed and I remembered that he had a love of carpentry. The work was done immaculately, on time and with little mess, but a lot of laughs!! He has a natural flair for the artistic which helps him visualize what the customer can't. Thanks again John and I am looking forward to our next collaboration.

Nursery Mural

John painted an absolutely perfect mural on the wall of our nursery. He was very friendly and professional and we could not be happier with the final result. I would highly recommend his work.

Installation of Cedar Screening Under Front Porch

John created and installed cedar screening for our front porch to hide the ugly furnace vent pipes and dryer vent. He added a door to gain access to the area if required and bonus, I can store garden tools there. After he installed it he painted it a colour to match our garage door and front door. John is very creative and detail oriented. This is the second job he has done for us in Burlington and previously he did a lot of work in our Streetsville home so we could sell it. He is not cheap, but, you get what you pay for.

Fabulous Outdoor Painter

John did a fantastic job with our front door, garage doors, back door, balcony posts, and upper area. It required a lot of prep, and I appreciated his attention to detail, friendly disposition, and dedication to the amount of work required to get it done properly so it will last - took 4 days. Very happy with how it turned out!!! Highly recommend John for any painting you need done - I wasn't surprised he was an artist/illustrator for 20 years in his previous career.
