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.

Sodding Grass

I found Captain Handy online based on their great reviews and they delivered! They were on time, did a wonderful job sodding our grass and cleaned everything up and watered our grass. Super friendly. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who is thinking about sodding their grass. The price was so reasonable!! Very happy with our job.

Amazing Contractor, Total Revamp of my Backyard

I went to Homestars and chose Captain Handy based upon reviews, I could not have chosen better. I wanted a revamp entirely of my backyard, but was struggling with what to do.

Alex came by immediately offering his professional advice assistimg me with the design and provided a quote within a day.
The work started almost immediately.

We decided to put in interlocking, new fence with a gate for one side of the property, some new grass, a retaining wall and flower bed., pebble rock under fire escape.

First thing every day Alex would come make sure everything was going as planned. The team was super professional, worked long days and the work was continuously done until complete.
Alex was always, repsonsive if I had questions, and was willing to tweak things as we went.

The team removed the entire back yard, cleaned up every day, was always considerate of the neighbours area when putting up the fence.
Over 22 years of using contractors for various things, I have never had such a great exeperience with a contractor.

I now have a beautiful backyard within 7 days of hard work from the Team.

I highly recommend Captain Handy!!!
