Gate

Andrew was a pleasure to work with. He was professional and knowledgeable. I had three other companies come out and provide a quote. Neither of them were able to provide any solutions. Andrew listened and understood what I wanted. Provided sketches and completed the task within the timeframe he originally committed to me. I whole heartedly recommend Andrew and I will be using him again for future jobs. Thank you Andrew!

Many thanks for your detailed review and rating. Being a small client-focused contractor means I provide solutions my clients need and want. Building the twin gates between houses over a driveway was a bespoke project. Happy it worked out so well.

Basement drywall repairs, tiling, floor trim , handyman work

All the positive reviews speak for themselves, Andrew is definitely a keeper this job was the second time weve used his services. We originally sourced him out again to install some privacy film on various doors and windows , however , after looking through the reviews we discovered that he also offered handyman services so we contacted him right away, and he responded in a timely manner , showed up on time , worked very efficiently and clean , courteous , friendly , and honest as well. Andrew did a fantastic job tiling our laundry room , installing floor trim throughout our entire basement, substantial drywall repair, painted basement washroom , and installed window and door film throughout the home. We are tremendously satisfied and are lucky to have Andrew on hand!!!!! Do not hesitate and just hire this guy and he likes lattes lol

Full marks to Andrew

Andrew is amazing. I contacted him to install an OTR microwave. He was punctual. Did his job meticulously and cleaned up everything before leaving. He even offered to dispose off the microwave box that didn't fit the blue box in my garage. I would definitely contact Andrew for any future home improvement needs.

Assembled Wayfair trundle bed and Ikea table

Andrew did an excellent job assembling my bed and table. He was prompt, efficient, clean and professional. He arrived on time and finished the work within the estimated time period. Andrew clearly enjoys his work and goes "the extra mile" to serve his customers.

Microwave installation

Andrew was fantastic! I reached out to him initially thinking it was a simple job. It turned out to be much more complex but he was able to do it and was extremely efficient.

Storm door installation

Andrew did a great job. He came early, was responsive, polite, and professional. The installation took a little longer than expected (due to issues with the door I bought), but his price was reasonable and it looks solid. We will be calling him back for other jobs in the future.

Thanks very much for your kind consideration of my effort and results! You selected the right product and we were able to make slight modifications to the stone & frame to ensure a proper fit and function for the door. Always happy when my clients are happy.

Door Hinge Repair

Andrew promptly responded to my request to fix my door handle and quoted a very reasonable price for excellent service! He communicated everything he was doing very clearly and repaired the door quickly and efficiently. Was also a pleasure to chat with. Would definitely recommend his services to anyone who might need handyman work!

Thank you for your kind review and rating. I'm pleased to have fixed the issue. In this case, we found some inadequate hardware installed by the builders which were replaced with longer screws. It's a common issue in newer (and lovely condos) to find things like this allowing for a quick repair.

Handy man

We hired Andrew for various handyman projects when we moved. He performed drywalling painting switching out old electrical switches and receptacles. We are very happy with the quality of work and level of professionalism. We hired him numerous times that’s a pretty good recommendation there.

Grab Bar Clean-up & Tub Caulk Replacement

Andrew cleaned out a rusting tub grab bar for us. He cleaned out all of the corrosion stains and set it to prevent future problems. He also removed all of our old and discoloured tub caulking and re-caulked the tub.
Andrew's work is excellent and tidy. He listens to the homeowner, asks good questions, and provides options.
Our bathroom looks and feels clean again!
I would whole-heartedly recommend Andrew for taking care of your home.

Dear James,
