Tim The Handyman

I hired Tim to complete some small repairs in our house - some drywall, some plumbing. While on site, Tim explained that what I had wanted done with the bathtub would require a plumber - which he wasn't. So instead, he offered to complete some other work I had pointed out while we were touring the condo (i.e. repairing the front closet sliding door). I agreed, but in hindsight I shouldn't have. The work was well done (especially the drywall), but the cost was excessive given that the plumbing, which was part of the original estimate, wasn't done.

Tim was here for 4 hours, including initial tour and clean-up, and the total cost was $795 ($703 plus tax) - i.e. around $150/hour + materials. Work completed included 3 small drywall patches, two small sections of trim, purchasing and placing a fastener between two pipes under the kitchen sink, and re-screwing a press-board sliding door in the entrance-way closet, so cost of materials I think was less than $100 (I supplied the paint).

In summary: If you decide to use Tim, don't renegotiate the work to be done on the fly, without also renegotiating the price. That was I think my mistake. Be very clear and detailed about what you want done when requesting the original estimate and stick to that, don't agree to change it once Tim is already onsite.

Amazing! We would hire Tim again for any other work in our home. There were a number of renovations to be done - some a little tricky - and Tim did an impeccable job. He is thoughtful and has a keen eye for detail, which is so important in this line of work. I greatly appreciated his work ethic and he stayed true to all agreed deadlines.

We purchased an Ikea kitchen which included cabinets, sink, faucet and laminate countertop. But we were unable to hang the cabinets onto the wall (which turned out to be a firewall), due to lack of proper tools and know-how. The plumbing needed to be replaced and the wiring for the hood range needed re-routing. Tim was quick to respond to my email and set up a time to do the required work within days. He did a fantastic job in record time and was very professional and knowledgeable. Our kitchen is finally wonderful.

Had rotting wood, and exterior painting.
Tim was very personable. He explained everything before hand.
He kept the outside clean. And I love the finished product.
Would have him back anytime I need help.
Thanks Tim

We hired him out of desperation to complete a bathroom renovation, we fail to communicate effectively the work that was needed (leave the bathroom fully functional) if you hire him, I would be very clear and repeat several times what you expect at the end. He initially quote $900 and after he added all the additionals that he did, the final amount was $2,300 - abusive.

Tim is defiantly one of the best handyman services in the city. We’ve called Tim the Handyman a few times to help with some of our projects and he has always been a true pleasure to work with. He is professional and we appreciate his attention to detail. Our clients have been absolutely delighted with the quality of his work. We highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for fast, efficient and courteous service, and we look forward to working with him more in the future.

My front door needed some repairs, he answered my emails promptly, showed up the same day and I paid exactly what he quoted. He also offered some advise regarding future door replacement and answered any questions I had.
I will definitely call Tim for any future jobs!

I needed someone to repair dry wall in my kitchen area quickly and found Tim through Google search. I was very impressed how quickly he responded to me with a very reasonable quote and scheduled me in right away. He showed up on time and completed the job within the quote he gave me (although I know it was more complicated than the photo I showed him). Tim was extremely professional and the job site was super neat, I would definitely use his services in future and highly recommend him to anyone.

I found Tim online and requested a quote. He responded almost immediately with a reasonable price. He showed up on time and was extremely professional. He completed all the odd jobs (hanging a TV bracket, fixing the dishwasher and installed two lights very quickly. I also hired him to come back to fix our leaky roof. He identified the issue (that many companies did not!), bought the material and completed the work in an afternoon. I was extremely impressed with how professional and neat his work was and how efficient the entire process of working with him was. Highly recommended.

Reasonable pricing, very reliable, great work. He sourced some barn wood to custom build us a pair of closet doors and they look great.

He also fixed a stained ceiling, replaced some badly cut bathroom tiles and a lot more odds and ends.
