" You have a GREAT site.  I will definitely use it again and I have already recommended it to friends as a really efficient system to quickly source contractor services.   We were very pleased with the entire online process, the response to my project posting (10 submissions within 24 hours), and the quality work completed by our chosen contractor.  Thank-you."

Sharon M & Peter M - Vancouver, BC


"Your site is great, I posted my project and within hours I had so much response I could barely keep up. All of them were professional and courteous for the 'at home' estimates and I took the time to respond to all of them. I will definitely use HandyCanadian again when I am ready for another project. Thanks."

"Thank you so much for having a website such as yours' available to people like me. Sometimes it's difficult to know where to turn to for renovation assistance and your website makes the search so easy and quick. I got a lot of emails from interested contractors which I didn't expect as I tried another website like yours' and got no response at all...ever! So I will definitely be using your website as a way to reach contractors for all my reno needs."

"Thank you very much, this site seems to be just what I was looking for in terms of help building our new home."

Karl W - St Andrews, MB


"This has been a great site for us. We had a major basement renovation to do and didn't know where to start. I really appreciated the tips on hiring a contractor. I also liked being able to post a description of the job and then let them contact us. That way we didn't have to waste time figuring out if it was the type of project they usually worked on or if they were available. We put in the research into references, licensing and insurance (as suggested by your site) and ended up with a great contractor. We've already recommended this site to others. Thanks for making a difficult chore much easier."

Lisa and Mark B - Langley, BC


"We hired our contractors for our house renovation in Toronto through your website and it was so helpful.  After calling so many contractors it was great to just post the project and get detailed quotes and comments right away.  Your website saved our bacon, since we had bit off more than we could chew and were somewhat in despair! We were worried about hiring over the internet but it’s just like a sort of dating service – you just need to meet the right people - thanks for helping us get it done."

Janet L - Toronto, ON


"Thanks for having such a great site such as yours. Even for an experienced handyman as myself, your site is a wealth of information."

Anne M - Mississauga, ON


We have for the past month tried to get local contractors to do some minor repair work on a water damaged kitchen ceiling.  Realizing this was a small project we kept our enquiries to contacting firms who advertised they did small repairs.  I have to say I have had my eyes opened to the appalling behavior of these firms giving I'm sure the industry a bad name.  I was looking for honesty, meaning if you don't want the project let us know rather than saying you could do it and never showing up or saying you will provide a quote and that was the last we heard.  I am a marketing professional and know the first rule is reputation, obviously many of these companies do not know this is a key element in retaining business.

After numerous bad experiences and not knowing where we were going to go next I started surfing the internet for other contracting firms I could call and came across the HANDYCANADIAN site.  Upon entering the information for our kitchen project I was immediately contacted by 8 companies within a 24 hour period.  After receiving a number of quotes to consider we chose a contractor to do the work. I am happy to say the search on your site, quote process and completion of the project have taken place within one week, very impressive. 

We will use your service again

Susan and Rod J  - Milton, ON

VC - Mississauga, ON


"Dear Handycanadian.com, About four months ago, I was about to give up on finding someone to renovate my forty year old home that was way over due for some changes.  My kitchen was literally falling apart and it got to the point that I was embarrassed to have company. I perused local newspapers and bulletin boards looking for suitable candidates and either my calls were never returned or appointments that were scheduled were never kept.  I was only being told how this was the wrong time to renovate because tradespeople were just too busy. 

Out of frustration, I went on-line and came across your website.  Immediately I sent letters out to 3 or 4 contractors.  I was very excited to receive written response within 24 hours and I received quotes in a timely manner and decided to go with a young man named Anson Sikkema.  Together we came up with a great layout for an open concept living room and kitchen and work was started immediately.

I was so pleased with his work that I asked him to continue on with the rest of the house.  I asked him if it would be done before Christmas, and he has kept his word and I will have a completely new house before December 25.

This service that you have offered has been so convenient and appreciated.  I highly recommend this company. Thank you!"

AS - Nobleton, ON


"I can't believe how easy it was to use HandyCanadian. I posted my project not expecting a lot responses back for several days. Imagine my surprise when I had e-mails and calls from electricians that very same morning! The company I chose was fantastic! HandyCanadian, in my opinion is truly great!! This was my first experience and it was better than I had hoped for. I'll be referring HandyCanadian to everyone I know. I can't say thank you enough!"
