Peter came over to give us a quote to replace our existing vanity with a new one we purchased previously from Home Depot, change the faucet, mirror and lights. After his quote, he was able to start that very same moment if we accepted and we did. He only managed to change the vanity, sink and faucet because the mirror was glued to the wall by the builder and he didn't want to create a mess trying to remove it but he gave us the option if we wanted him to proceed. He suggested we build a frame around the mirror or figure out a way to remove it safely without damaging our sink. We decided against it as it might have caused a bigger mess than required at the time so it's another project we'll complete later.
We didn't end up having him change the lighting because when he removed the strip lighting, he noticed that the builder did not install the silver electrical box to ground the electrical wires. Peter also explained that the drywall was not strong enough to hold up the light we had picked out the the light shades could fall down onto the sink and break. He made some sensible suggestions in the lighting we should install (larger base that was long enough to hold up the light given the existing condition of the drywall) or have a professional electrician come in to move the light up a bit higher.
Overall, Peter may not have been able to complete the full job we originally requested, but we appreciated his honesty and suggestions. He did a great job to install what he could and didn't leave a mess and it looks beautiful.
We're happy that no job is too small or big for Handyman Connection so we would definitely contact them again for future repairs or renovation.
