Lauren in Oakville

I needed a handyman so I came on Homestars and searched for one with great reviews...Pretty Handy Guy (aka John) was top of the list! In September, I emailed him to ask when he was available and he said he was booking in November...my jaw dropped. Sucks for me, but great for him...he is obviously good if he was booked solid for 6-8 weeks. I told him I needed it done sooner so I would look elsewhere. I searched high and low for a trustworthy, reliable, personable, highly skilled handyman and came up with nothing...it is now November so I went back to John and asked him to put me on his list, which was now booking into January!! I got lucky and he called the next day and said he had a cancellation so we made it happen and he came over for 5 odd jobs. He was awesome. So friendly and excellent at what he does...I wasn't sure if he'd be able to fix 2 of the 5 things, but he did and made them even better than before. I had made a coat rack for the front hallway and he installed it for me...he even told me that he screwed it into the studs so it's extra strong for coats, which I hadn't even thought to do...he is clearly the expert!! He was literally a lifesaver...he hung my bedside lamp back on the wall, he fixed my closet shelf that was coming out of the wall, he installed a set of shelves in our bathroom, a coat rack in the hallway and installed the casing around our front door that was recently replaced. He was awesome!! He is coming back in January to do some painting and build wooden steps from our garage into our laundry room (we currently have cement blocks that are not sturdy). He is simply the best!! We absolutely recommend him!!!

We bought a house and said we were not moving in until the windows were replaced (yes, they were that bad). I had 3 companies give us quotes and Total Home was the most punctual, most prepared, most informative and to top it off gave the lowest quote! Vitaly, our sales rep, is great...even though our windows are done, we are working with him again to replace our front door and laundry room door. In addition, we are working with him to submit our application for the GreenON rebate ($500 per window for up to 10 windows). Our new windows look fantastic and within a day we had to turn our thermostat down because the windows were keeping all the heat in!! Mission accomplished!!
