Pretty Handy Guy

We hired John back in April to replace some water damaged flooring in our basement. We had recently purchased a "renovated" house, but the quality of the work varied greatly. John uncovered floor boards shimmed with paper and a drain hole that was boarded over. He ended up redoing most of the basement floor, installing a proper subfloor, then doing his best with the easily breakable flooring we'd bought from Costco. He kept us informed, gave us options and calmly handled changes in the plan.

John also fixed some holes in drywall, so well that you couldn't tell the wall was ever damaged. He made our bedroom much more livable by reversing a door and adjusted the molding around a sliding door closet after we'd replaced the slides.

John is personable, communicates well, and has a good sense of humor.
He does excellent work. He even made a DIY homeowner feel important by borrowing some clamps.

When we were requesting quotes, John was the only one who (quickly) came out to inspect the worksite. I also appreciate that once he starts a job, he works on it full time until it's done. He did a very good job of cleaning everything up once he was done.

My wife and and I were both very pleased with John and would certainly hire him for future projects.

The Pretty Handy Guy converted our old basement bedroom into a clean, bright workout area for us. He removed the old carpet and subflooring, replaced with new subfloor and new wood finish, replaced doors and window finishes, painted and put new baseboards in. The room is very useable now and we appreciate that John worked quickly and cleaned up each day and took away all the old material. We have used him for several projects and have more jobs lined up. We are very satisfied with him work.

We had a vision for the way we wanted this built in to look. John saw the vision . He sketched it out for us. He then proceeded to fulfill our vision. It is exactly what we hoped for.
Thanks John

First class!! Both John and the work
Highly recommend their services
Would use his services when needed

Moving house is never an easy experience but working with Pretty Handy Guy significantly reduces the related stress!

We have been fortunate to know and trust John implicitly for a number of projects over the years. Johns attention to detail is second to none and he really takes pride in his work. This project involved:

- wallpapering
- painting
- new screen doors
- hanging artwork
- repairing furniture

Our new house really feels like home now. Working with Pretty Handy Guy is always a sincere pleasure and look forward to the next opportunity.

The company was recommended to me by a Benjamin Moore store in Oakville and even though they were fully booked,when I called, I decided to wait for them a little longer and I am happy that I did it.

John was extremely professional, very nice guy to talk to and my wall paper was really well installed with no defect. I am very happy with the outcome.
I definitely will recommend the company to all my clients and friends.

John did a great job of installing the wallpaper in our dining room. He is very professional and we are thrilled with the results.

The pretty handy guy showed up on time, and ready to do the work. Had some painting and dryer vent clean out. All well done, quickly and efficiently. Very personable, and friendly. Work was done to my satisfaction. Will use again if needed!

John painted several rooms in the house, transforming them into exactly what we wanted. He did a beautiful job and was so easygoing. Communication was great. He gave some advice too when picking colours (since I asked). I really enjoyed talking to him, too. He has a great sense of humour and was great with our pets. I highly recommend John and will gladly call him back at the next opportunity!

John is a delight to work with--pleasant, communicative, respectful, and reliable. His high ratings are truly well deserved. Our porch railings were in desperate need of repairing and repainting. He was able to rebuild the railings down the stairs, which had rotted, matching the style to the original design and ensuring they were solid. He also levelled some patio slabs at the foot of the stairs and did some additional sanding and painting of decorative trim that he noticed was chipping. VERY pleased with the end result. Looking forward to having John back for the next home improvement item on our list.
