Thanks for the repeat business! Being able to reuse the materials after servicing and using what you had on hand meant labour only, allowing for a very economical project. Enjoy greater use of your shed this year!

Thermal Scan

Very happy to have found Andrew to help us determine the source of water coming into the house.
Andrew was very responsive and was able to attend to the issue the next day.
Andrew is so lovely and provided us with sound advice and recommendations to identify the issue at the most economical cost.
I would definitely hire Andrew again.

Thank you Tracy for your gracious review and rating. My Qualified Thermographic (thermal imaging) Building Investigations continue to help identify damage and entry points for water to enter my clients homes and businesses. Without any conflict of interest (eg business I suggest/generate for myself) I can effectively limit repair to essential areas for my clients. Please update me on progress to prevent further water ingress!

Painting and building a Closet

Andrew was very sensitive to our needs and the needs of our autistic son. He spent a lot of time and energy to check out our concerns with the walls. We are very glad we hired him and very satisfied with the work. Highly recommended.

Many thanks for the opportunity to help out with the various things needing done after we tackled your initial posted request! Adding better fasteners to items installed in drywall make them sturdy and long-lasting. Enjoy all the new fixtures!

Couch assembly

Andrew was very accommodating with my quick timeline. In fact came same day I contacted him. Excellent customer service, very friendly, polite, efficient and cleaned up really well when he was done the task. Also sent me a follow up text stating he could come back in the future if there was any tightening or adjustments needed.

Above and Beyond

I contacted Andrew to install safety shower grab bars for my elderly uncle after he did an exceptional job of installing an above-range microwave oven for me a couple of years ago.

Andrew was extremely conscientious and professional throughout the entire job, even taking the initiative to contact the grab bars' manufacturer to ensure they could be safely fastened to the shower stall tile! He took the time to carefully consult with my uncle and myself to ensure the best placement of the bars, and left a perfectly clean and tidy area where the work was completed.

I would 100% recommend Andrew for any "handyman" work that needs to be done!

Thanks Edie for the repeat business and opportunity to help Uncle! Installing grab bars through porcelain required some adjustment with the specialty fasteners required by Moen. Very pleased it's solid as a rock. Good choice of product helps. Thanks x10!

Mounting of over the range microwave

Andrew got in touch in good time and after seeing his excellent rating and reviews, we decided to have him mount the microwave oven for us. He arrived on time and did the job perfectly.
I know this is a relatively small job and appreciated his thoroughness and professionalism.
I would happily recommend him. Excellent work.

Thanks Larry for your kind review and rating. Finding a hole where the new unit needed a bolt meant using our brains to create a suitable hangar for the bolt to be secured from. Enjoy the new quiet unit!

General Handyman Project

Andrews services were recommended by two friends of mine.

Andrew paid a great deal of time looking at and explaining his quote.

The work was completed in a very timely fashion. After the work was completed, Andrew did a through cleanup.

After a few days, Andrew took the time to follow up. A very rare occurrence these days.

We were very satisfied in all aspects of the job and will use Andrew again.

We will also recommend Andrew to others.

Critical and urgent replacement of 24 feet of residential fence

A neighbor's excavation activities compromised 24 feet of my Pool enclosure leaving the pool exposed to the public. This is both a legal and a moral exposure and required fast and reliable repair.

I called on Andrew, based on reference from someone he had done work for previously.

The response was immediate, he arrived when scheduled, and took on the heavy digging and heavy cement work. As a result of his efforts I was able to close the 24 foot hole, albeit temporarily, giving me time to complete the task myself without risking the lives of my neighbors' children.

Home inspection and mold inspection

Ive known Andrew for a long time and he has never pushed his services on me. Me and my wife got our first home (which is more than 100 years old) and I didnt want anyone but him to check our house out. He was very clear with what he could do for us and how much it would cost, it was a pleasure doing business with him and I hope you choose him as your next home inspector or contractor for your home
