Client testimonials

What You Need, When You Need It. 24/7 Service.

Evan was terrific! Arrived earlier than expected and did a very professional job. Great prices and great work, we will have him back to make some changes to prevent future problems he identified.

Andrew recently was on Vacation in BC. While out here he ended up redoing all of the plumbing in my home because what was previously installed is considered unsafe and was not insurable by my home insurance. He did an amazing job replacing it all. Thank you Andrew!

Andrew is excellent! He has done lots of small and large jobs at my business. He is extremely thorough, thoughtful and very responsive. I would absolutely recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a plumber or a handyman!

Andrew did a very quick and tidy replacement of our 17 year old sump pump. He was easy to talk to both on phone and in person.

He took some time to explain some plumbing questions I had about hot water tanks vs hot water on demand.

Andy was accommodating and efficient! I would recommend him all my friends and family

I was very pleased with the service and price. Will definitely call him again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Handy Andy as my condo suite shutoff was leaking and asked if it was possible to get a better set of shut-offs and a set of secondary shut-offs installed.  He sourced a higher quality set of shut-offs as opposed to just replacing them with the same set.

He provided a proper quote, was familiar with our condo board procedures, reached out and coordinated with them in advance, and arrived on time.  Both tradesmen were kind and knowledgeable.

The work was executed promptly and professionally.  Thanks again guys for your help with this.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have reach out to Andy to fix a water issue at my house. His response was quick and had me booked in about 2 days after my request! He was very prompt on letting me know that he was on his way to my house. Once he got here, he managed to resolve my issue in about 1 hour! What really stood out to me, was the fact that he took the time to really explain what the fix was instead of just saying he’s done. Can’t recommend this company enough! You’re in good hands with Andy!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andy came to our office to run water to our lunchroom in order to plumb in our sink and fridge, as well as run ducting for heat and A/C to the same room.  He communicated very efficiently with me and was able to get to us quickly and did a great job.  Andy and his staff were super polite, mindful and professional.  I would highly recommend!!   Thanks Andy!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a laundry list of items to fix, some large (removing gas fireplace) and some small (toilet/faucet leaking). I’m so happy I found Handy Andy. He came quickly and was so kind, highly efficient on the service call and informative about the fixes and what to expect. I felt well taken care of as a client. Would highly recommend and use again!
