Hired these guys to do some work with my metal roof. I didn't really know anything about it. They did a good job at a fair price and I'm happy.

I used Sam last year to repair some bricks at the front of my house, and I was happy with his work and price, so I went to him again this year for my front porch, which was falling apart.

Sam was a total pro throughout the whole process. He gave me a number of options for the look and structure of the porch during the planning stage, as well as realistic prices for each. He also had the great idea of using charcoal bricks along the side to contrast with the red bricks of the house, and it all looks really nice.

Because of the rain we had this spring, it was difficult to find enough dry days in a row in order to get the porch done, but Sam was really good at staying in touch with me as we checked the weather reports. I've had to deal with trades people in the past who are very slow to return a customer's call or email, so it was very refreshing to have such open and regular communication with Sam. Because of the rain delays (which weren't his fault at all!), Sam even threw in some free flagstones for the main level of the porch, which was a very nice touch.

Sam and his team were very courteous, careful, and clean during the actual work. They let me know exactly how the work was progressing throughout all the stages, and everything was completed in just a few days for exactly the price that he quoted me. No fuss, no muss, no surprises!

All in all, we're very, very happy with the porch. I definitely recommend Sam and his team, and I will continue to go to him for work around my house in the future!

Had Sam remove shingles, add two vents, and shingle my 16x32 heated shed roof. (It has an attic.) Good communication from initial contact, through a delay due to a family emergency out of country, weather delays, and during the day of work. Workers were polite, and they all treated each other with respect - nice to see. Work was efficient, well done and tidied up well. The price was reasonable. WM pick-up - check that they pick up in your area first. We are rural, and it took a call to WM to get them to pick up here. (website said they did not do our area) WM did come and removed the bag, there was no damage to the driveway. We agreed with Sam in advance to take garbage over one WM bag to dump ourselves. That was a lot of work, be prepared if you choose to do that.

Job was well done, Sam very personable and respectful of us and his crew.

After a few (terribly) windy days in early 2015, I noticed a few shingles had landed on my lawn. After a very shaky venture to my roof, I discovered a section of shingles (about 2 bundles worth) was deteriorating. I called Sam the Handyman and they came out very quickly. They assessed the entire roof and, in addition to the deterioration, found a few other deficiencies left over from construction - not a surprise, given all the stories I've heard from neighbors regarding the builder. While there were a few extra issues beyond what I had noticed from my brief peek, I did not need an entire new roof, just for the lower section where most of the damage took place. For reference, the roof now is approximately 11 years old. Sam the Handyman completed the roof that needed to be repaired. Sam kept in regular contact over the course of the job - I never felt like I was a forgotten customer. After examining the photos they took of the before, during, and after phase of the repairs, I have to say I am beyond pleased. Their attention to detail was evident from start to finish, and I am not sorry I chose them to fix my roof. While I hope I don't have to do any more roof work for the near future, I would definitely call them again should the need arise and when the other section needs to be completed.

I had this company repair some brickwork and pointing on my house that was caused by ivy that covered the house for many years. The estimator was punctual and professional, helped me understand my options, and arrived at a plan that fit my budget. The crew showed up at the appointed time and completed the work on time and on budget. When I noticed after they left that a fence gate they had removed for their scaffolding and then rehung no longer swung properly, the company sent another worker out right away to get it back in proper working order. I'm a happy customer

This past week, I had Sam the Handyman install a new roof on my house. It was a big job as I had multiple layers that needed to be stripped before new shingles can be installed. I had few companies come out to do an estimate, some didn’t even bother getting up on the roof. Sam, the owner himself, came out, went up on the roof, did the assessment and provided me with a quote. He is a professional, polite, no-nonsense guy and very attentive to customer needs. He gave me a very competitive quote and provided me with a list of houses his company worked on so I can check out the color of shingles I wanted to install on my house. Closer to the installation date, Sam emailed me the details of what will take place to successfully get the roofing project completed. The crew arrived by 7 AM, setup my place for the job, covered plants, spread tarps along all sides of the house, even over at the neighbor’s side to make sure there is no damage to their property. Sam and the entire Team were great! They did an AMAZING job! Very professional, very details oriented and very clean. They took good care of my property as if it was their own. It was nice to see a great teamwork between them, and it shows the crew has been working together for a long time. They completed the job in a shorter amount of time than previously estimated, and they left the place immaculately clean. If you are looking for a fantastic company that will do the job well, is trustworthy and truly cares about the customer satisfaction - Sam the Handyman is the one you should call. I will be recommending them to everyone! THANK YOU Sam the Handyman for a great looking roof

I made a mistake first by getting a guy off Kijiji. He did an awful job of parging my front Porch. I had to get it fixed as it was an embarrassment. I came across Sam by googling. He came to my house and gave me a free estimate and set up a time to do the job.

He got the exact bricks that match my 50 year old house exterior. He along with his assistant removed all the old concrete, had a big bag for that, it was taken away by Waste Management for a fee. I was going to do that myself but glad Sam knew about that. They then set about putting in the new bricks around the front porch and he was meticulous. He used a level at all times to make sure they were placed perfectly.

They did a great clean up afterwards and he kept to his word on the cost. It is a bit of a hassle to write a review but when people go above and beyond I think its the right thing to do.

Sam has been taking care of our house for many years. He replaced 3 of our old skylights, capped our chimney and caulked around our house where needed. Every year he cuts and maintains the ivy on our house and makes sure our roof is in good shape. We highly recommend Sam to everyone!!!

Like many people, we found Sam The Handyman while doing an online search. We were very impressed with all of his positive reviews and decided to make contact. We had our windows replaced this winter and encountered some major issues with our basement windows which needed the attention of an expert. Sam was very prompt at replying to our inquiry and came out to asses the job. He gave an extremely reasonable quote and we decided to hire him. Sam and his team not only completed the job in a timely manner but did an amazing job at matching our existing mortar and brick. We were so impressed that we hired Sam to come back this spring and repair some flagstone work in need of attention, as well as repair to foundation cracks and re-parging. Sam also made a great suggestion of replacing our builder concrete step off our kitchen door to the deck area, with a new stone slab rather than re-parging. I must say that this looks fantastic!! It's a beautiful natural stone that blends in with our window sills and will never need to be parged! Thank you Sam! On top of Sam and his team's impeccable work and attention to detail, Sam is one of the most friendly, kind, and gentle people we have had the pleasure to work with! Thank you Sam and his crew! We would recommend you in a heartbeat!

Sam re-pointed my leaning chimney. There was about a 20 degree angle to it. Sam did a great job. He was prompt, efficient and professional.

I highly recommend him and have in fact have scheduled other work with him this summer.

I used Sam for some roof work last year and this year he capped my chimney. I no longer needed it and he did a great job! He took down over ten layers of brick and cemented a cap on top. It is solid and I don't have to worry about it anymore.
