Backyard patio

My project was small but labour intensive because they couldnt fit any machinery through the.back.
They went above and beyond and didnt think twice about taking on the job when others walked away.
I will definitely refer them to my clients and friends.
The result is amazing. Im a very satisfied client.

New Interlocking Driveway

Wow what can I say about Captain Handy, other than my wife and I are super happy with our new interlocked driveway.
If we can give 10 stars, we would!

Alex showed up every day making sure everything is going well with our project. It was very impressive, to have the owner supervise his crew and really cared about our project and wants it to be flawless.

Having Tina organizing our project was such a great experience!
She made sure everything was well coordinated and kept us informed along the way. With Tina involved, my wife and I felt comfortable and well relaxed that Captain Handy will deliver a wonderful job

In our opinion, Alex and his crew exceeded our expectations by far!!!!!

The team was very detailed and took their time to make sure the bricks are completely aligned and leveled. They all worked wonderful together and each crew member had their expertise.

Most importantly the crew was very nice, honest and caring in making sure the client is super happy along the way with the entire process. They came every morning at 7:30 am sharp and worked till the end of the day.

My wife and I hired Captain Handy based on their google rating of (4.9) and Homestars at 9.9/10. We are so glad that we hired Captain Handy, their reviews speak volume on how happy their clients truly are.

If you need your interlocking done and want an amazing job with a crew that takes their time, pays attention to detail and really cares about how happy their clients are.

Look no further, call Alex from Captain Handy and you will be blown away with the quality and craftmanship you will get, just like we did!

We are so happy that we cant wait to do the backyard next year.

Great job by Cpt Handy

Captain handy did an interlocking brick driveway for me. Tina is super responsive which gives you comfort that you can always get a hold of someone. The description of the job by Alex at the proposal is exactly what happened. The crew they had were very hard working. They moved fast and were very respectful. Overall, I was quite happy. 5 stars

New Fence

Alex and his crew completed a new 6ft fully private fence for us in less than a week. We are beyond happy with the level of service, the speed, and the end result! Alex was super responsive and accommodating even though it was a tricky process with neighbors covering part of the costs and lots of workaround the existing greenery on site. His crew were super professional and kept the space very tidy after leaving every shift. I am thoroughly impressed by the service and work from Captain Handy and will be booking them again next spring to complete more work. I would highly recommend Captain Handy to anyone needing fence/landscaping work done! I have worked with a lot of contractors in my line of work and its hard to find ones that start on time, are so diligent and most importantly finish ahead of schedule! Thanks Alex to you and your team for our new amazing fence!

Back yard revitalization with patio stone

Alex and his team were a perfect choice for me. I did 9 quotes including recommendations, and I'm thankful that I went with my gut. They were timely. Prompt, professional and paid attention to the detail of my vision. They even came back and repaired damages that I caused after the work was completed. Many homeowners are doing renovations now and I will proudly say that my home was the only one in the neighborhood where the streets and my house was left clean every night and better than it was when they came in. Fantastic job, ethic, and professionalism from every member of the team. I would gladly recommend them to anyone! Well done Alex!

Backyard deck construction; replace front concrete stairs with Banas stone.

I was extremely happy with the work done by Alex and his various crews. They started the work when they had promised to do so, and accomplished everything in a timely manner. All of the workers were polite and well-mannered. The work was accomplished to perfection, in a very professional manner. I had received several estimates before signing a contract, and the price was in the median range of what others had proposed. I heartily recommend Captain Handy.

Excellent service

I had Captain Handy re-do my interlocking stones in the backyard and build a stone flower bed and porch by my entrance door.

Alex was always punctual, helpful and easy to deal with. The work was done on the proposed date, and I am pretty pleased with the outcome.

Thanks, Captain Handy and Alex. I highly recommend them for similar work.
