Deck extension

There was a need to make an extension to our existing deck and to make the railings all over the perimeter. We hired Alex and now we have a beautiful right sized deck to enjoy our summers on.

New Fence and Gates

I found Captian Handy in Google read a few reviews and decided to call for an appointment. Alex came on fairly short notice we talked about my plans and then I got an estimate and we decided to start this job. His team comes, they disassembled a portion of our fence that was falling down and install completely new sections instead. Alex and his crew were professional, the job has been done fast.

This captain is handy indeed!

Alex and his Crew (Lance, Muki, Naime, Apollo) spent almost two weeks working with us on our project. For this short period of time they managed to built a new driveway extension, walkway to backyard, patio on backyard (all interlock), new stone steps and erect a new deck from scratch. All that including demolition, excavation and clean up! This was the first time we had no stress working with contractors! The guys were very responsive to our requests making the required adjustments and offering options. Although we have a couple of minor concerns about the deck (that we would have done a little different), the complete picture looks great. The stonework deserves the highest mark though!
The Captain Handy team also did a very good job on cleaning up after their work and made sure the site looks presentable after they leave.
Alex, being a very busy man not only managing all the business administration, but also taking a significant participation in the actual construction process was always easy to reach, providing first class customer service.
Another thing to mention is that this project was very competitively priced compared to the other quotes we had.
Our family is very pleased with the work and the customer service that Captain Handy provided to us. We strongly recommend them to those who are not afraid to support a relatively young firm, looking for having the job done and save some money on that too!

Backyard Landscaping Job

We are very satisfied with the work which was done for us by Captain Handy crew! We were confused a little with our backyard project and after an appointment with Alex, he helped us to find proper landscaping solutions for our backyard. He understood all of our needs and generated a few ideas. We choose one and his crew implemented it exactly as described. The job was finished on time and quality was great. Thanks, Alex and all Captain Handy team!

Deck that we love

I found Captain Handy at Youtube, I checked a few videos and decided to call. Alex responded to my call and we scheduled the estimate. Alex came to my home we discussed each detail of my project one by one, I think we spend about one hour for discussion. Then in the evening, Alex mailed me with the estimate and I hired his company. They delivered materials and did the job with very high quality with one delay from the initial schedule, but it happened because of the weather conditions. They built us nice deck that we love.
If you are looking for someone competent to build you a deck, I highly recommend to call Captain Handy with them your receive quality result for your personal project.

Porch renew

We hired Captain Handy to renew our front porch because the concrete was damaged by the time and water. Workers removed the top surface from the porch and resurfaced it with a special waterproof material. Then they completed the job without me within 1 day while I was out of my home. I am completely satisfied with the result. All the team did an excellent job and I would recommend them for any stonework. Also, we plan to hire them for some internal jobs in the future.

Fast fence

I called two fencing companies who would not do small jobs and found Captain Handy on the internet. Alex, who came to my house, was a professional and I was impressed, we discussed everything and decided to move forward.

The job, when finally done, was beautiful. Construction team made the fence exactly how I wanted it and just in a few days. I am completely satisfied with the resalt and Alex professional skills. I can recommend them to everybody.

Main Floor upgrade

Muky's team were excellent. They finished all flooring job in 2 days it was completed on time. They did everything they could to make that my floor become nice and newly shine.
I paid some extra because there was a need to level it more than expected in the beginning.
These guys deserved every point of the 10/10 score.
