Phil the Handyman

Phil contacted me after I posted a message on HomeStars looking for a contractor to replace two vent covers. He gave me an estimate and also agreed to come and do an assessment to see which type of vent we needed. He also purchased them for me at the local hare store (which I then paid him back). Phil did a fantastic job in replacing both vents one of which was very high and needed a ladder. He also caulked around them and cleaned the site. Phil is very easy to communicate with and flexible with his client. I highly recommend him.

I need to replace a range hood on my new home, Phil came over and did a fantastic job.
Phile is easy to work with and very professional, would definitely recommend him.

Phil was fantastic! Arrived in good time, was very professional, and was resourceful in doing the job. I really appreciated his attention to detail - the original deadbolt hole had some sharp snags, Phil drilled a much cleaner hole.

Phil did a SUPERB job. I still need to meet such a competent contractor. Thank you!

Phil was very easy to deal with and did a phenomenal job. Explained his process, always asked for our preferences and was very fair in his pricing. He will now be our go-to handyman for any minor jobs around the house. Would definitely recommend him.

He was an honest person , he was able to remove dryer and washing machine almost alone , at the beginning I thought they are sending a huge handy man but he was not

My rather large shed (20'x20') has a metal roof that had started to rust. Phil came out and suggested a rust proofing product. The job was harder than anticipated due to its location near a fence. He did a wonderful job of sealing and rustproofing the metal. Phil was very professional and personable.
I would hire him again.

Phil is punctual, he does great work, and he has competitive pricing. I hired him again for other home projects.

Phil replied quickly to my posting. We arranged a time for him to come over the next day to look at the fan and identify what he thought the issue was. He arrived when he said he would. He took a photo of the existing model, measured the space, and demonstrated and explained how to replace the motor. We agreed that I was able to replace the motor myself and that if that didn't solve the issue he would return, check out the duct work, and fix the ultimate cause. When I asked what I owed him, he replied "pay what you think is fair". Phil is prompt, fair, communicative, and helpful. I won't hesitate to contact him if the new motor doesn't fix the problem.

I moved provinces last fall and required a handyman for a wide variety of tasks such as hanging pictures, mirrors, stained glass; changing out door knobs, shower head, installing locks; moving wall shelves; installing stand-alone shelves and shelving units; patio and home siding power-washing, basic labour, and a multitude of little tasks that arise when moving house. I also needed a some raised planters built. Phil was consistently reliable, very reasonably priced (cash by the hour), and was extremely handy not only in terms of carrying out tasks but also in seeing areas where improvements were needed and suggesting solutions I hadn't seen. Very friendly, versatile, works quickly, great ideas. Genuinely cared about his results. I would use his services again without question.
