Kitchen ceiling repair

Chose Handy Force because of all the great reviews they had about taking on small jobs. Our kitchen ceiling needed a small patch of new dry wall due to a leak. Handy Force was awesome from the get go. Paul called me back as promised and arrived on time to survey the scope of the work. He was knowledgeable and professional. Danny managed the project efficiently. Dry waller was great. it was a job that required many visits between installation, mudding, drying and sanding. he came and went as promised. Working to ensure that the area was left so we could continue to use our kitchen. Very impressive. Would hire them again and would highly recommend Handy Force.

Bathroom sink installation & odd jobs

We needed to replace our bathroom pedestal sink, replace a shower head, and re-caulk the shower. Jobs that we could never quite find the time to do. Norm arrived on time with an apprentice, was professional, quiet, and got the job done. Couldn't ask for more. Danny the project manager checked in to make sure things were going according to plan. Everyone was pleasant and professional.

This was the first time we used the Handy Force, but we're definitely going to give them a call again. Just the kind of service for those odd jobs that accumulate over time.

Bedroom drywall

We've had Handyforce do a lot of work for us over the past few years. This job was a challenging demo, new drywall, new door framing. Everyone at Handyforce was awesome to work with and the work was great. They went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect for us. We wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.

Ceiling/wall repair

I had some ugly decorative ceiling boxes that light fixtures attached to as well as non structural plaster pillars that I wanted to removed. Handyforce was quick to come and give an estimate and started the job about a week after- which was nice.
The skilled people Handyforce uses seem professional and diligent in their work. They removed the boxes and pillars, cleaned up the mess and patched the ceiling walls, mudded, sanded etc. This job was pretty basic in terms of expertise required but they did the job to my satisfaction.

Old East York Bungalow Plaster

We are so pleased with the work Handy Force did on our old East York Bungalow. Due to racoons repeated tearing up shingles on our roof, many spots on the ceiling inside our house needed re-plastering, and we had several large cracks in the walls from a previous porch replacement done "less than perfectly" by another contractor. The Handy Force specialist returned our old plaster ceiling and walls to just like brand new. The team was so considerate of our time, and did a wonderful job, on time and on budget. We also had a new kitchen floor put in, and even in our crazy old house, where there are zero right angles, the hardwood type laminate was laid perfectly. Thank you to the whole team, all EXPERTS in their craft! I would recommend this team anytime!

Successful home repairs big and small

We have an older wooden house in the Beach that has needed a number of repairs. Over the past four years, Handforce has done both big - replacing the roof and drywalling - and small - replacing light fixtures, painting the front porch, building a shed door. The work has been done well, efficiently and on time. The price is not cheap but the work is reliable. Congratulations to Dylan Goff and his teams for jobs well done!

Roof vent installation

I hired HandyForce to install a roof vent and connect it to a ceiling fan in my bathroom (via the attic) and everything went smoothly. from the initial quote to the actual work.

When I first called them they were able to quickly give me a quote and schedule a date to do the work. On the day of the work they arrived on-time and everyone was friendly and professional. The work took a few hours and was completed on schedule and as planned.

I was very satisfied with the professional quality of work and customer service provided by The HandyForce and have already recommended them to friends.

Replaced light fixtures and door handles

I was staging my home to put it on market and I had a few odd jobs that were beyond my capabilities and I needed help. I wanted to replace a few light fixtures on very high ceilings I couldn't reach even with my ladder, and also needed to replace some door handles (way trickier than I thought!)

The person I had originally lined up cancelled at the last minute on me. HandyForce to the rescue! They took my job on short notice, arrived promptly, and completed everything I needed done. They were timely, polite and professional. I would suggest this company to anybody looking for help around their home. Great job by Dylan and Michael.

Kitchen Reno, Garden Fence, Various

We first hired HF to do some odd jobs around the house - install a new window in the loft, replace wired smoke alarms, add locks to windows, etc. It was sort of a test run to see how they worked and we were very happy with the results so we had them do a much larger job: our kitchen reno.

Their quote wasn't the cheapest we had, but we felt we were buying a fuller service. We didn't have to go and buy items ourselves, have them shipped to our house, and HF would install them. HF handled everything, which is what we wanted. Plus, Paul made us feel very confident and relaxed.

At times, we felt like we didn't have the full attention of the Project Manager, but we all handled the friction with grace. Sometimes Paul would step in to ensure things were running smoothly.

In the end we were very happy with the work and last year contracted them again to install a new fence in our back yard. No friction at all on that job. Everything on time and to an exacting standard.

In our experience HF really offer the service they claim to. They will do anything from hanging a picture to a full kitchen reno. I recommend them unreservedly.
