Contractor reinforced our kitchen sinks as they were starting to sag, and also attached our dishwasher to the sides of our cupboards so it wouldn't fall forward. I appreciated that the contractor took time to explain some solutions and listened to my concerns and together we agreed upon the best approach. It would have been appreciated to have had a more specific price quote so the final price would have been less of a surprise as it was on the high end of the quote for what were relatively simple jobs (glueing and putting in some screws and nails).

I had a great experience with Mr Handyman of SW Edmonton. I had replaced the weatherstripping (DIY) on the residential Entry/Garage Man Doors earlier. Subsequently, there were issues with the Doors latching. Chris came to the residence to assess the weatherstripping application for the Front Entry Door and Garage Man Door. He immediately made adjustments to the existing weatherstripping (which I had applied previously) and door latch mechanism. He provided valuable correction pointers on what I had done previously. All these adjustments were made without having to make another appointment and at no cost as no additional materials were required. Chris did a great job!! This type of Customer Service is not common today. I would highly recommend Mr Handyman of SW Edmonton. Thank you Chris!!
