I have an apartment with very poor ventilation. Working from home, I was getting lethargic, and I…read morehad a cough that was consistently getting worse over 2 years. My doctor couldn't find anything wrong with my lungs, so after considering my options, I decided to pay for an indoor air quality assessment. It's not cheap (~$525 for the comprehensive assessment, which is a little cheaper than competitors I found), but I thought it was well worth the cost. On the spot, Brian was able to confirm some big problems with the composition of my unit's air, and recommend some ways of improving it (e.g. lowering humidity + keeping bathroom fan running). After about 5 business days, I got a followup with all the numbers from the assessment, and a detailed followup of the recommendations he'd made in person. Since the inspection I've followed his advice, and my focus and energy at home have improved dramatically, and I can tell my lungs are much MUCH healthier.

I love that they've been highly rated with the BBB and delivered on that promise! Smart and thorough assessing identified a possible source for mold in my unit and the concise, professional report was accompanied by a certified, independent laboratory analysis.

I have now used the services of Sean Moss of Mold Insight twice in past month. First in my home and…read morethen at my studio. I cannot recommend Sean highly enough. Right from our first conversation, he was courteous, curious and extremely professional and thoughtful. Both times when he came to do an inspection he was on time and was very thorough and meticulous in his processes. He explained everything he was doing and left no corner unturned. I felt I was in extremely good hands. Not only due to his level of expertise but also due to the fact that he truly cares about his client's health and wellbeing. The reports I got back from the lab he used, along with the detailed summary and list of recommendations he provided, were top notch. And he was always willing to answer any of my questions to make sure I understood everything. I feel so grateful that he was referred to me and that I decided to use his services. Don't hesitate to use him. Again, I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Yes, we had chosen the time consuming of being our own general contractor and to fund then request reimbursement instead of accepting our insurance company's preferred restoration company. We are affirmed that no job is too small or too big indeed for our local Mr.Handyman of Burnaby. 2021Feb review - Looking for the options to either repair a broken soap dish attached to a 20+ years old tiled-tub-shower enclosure or to completely replace the whole shower enclosure. Contacting Mr. Handyman of Burnaby, New Westminster & North-Van and a few other similar business with A+ rating in Better Business Bureau (BBB). Mr.Handyman is the only business that care to respond by giving an $+time estimate of repairing that soap dish along with the option of replacing the whole shower. This already set Mr.Handyman above the other business in term of responsiveness. We found out further, during the estimation and actual work process, that Mr.Handyman is also above the rest in term of values, quality (experience) and professionalism. Details: Tim Boothman, the owner, gave us the simplest option of replacement and the flexibility to choose either to engage him labor only or labor+material (shower enclosure). We chose labor only and got a very pleasant surprise how Tim had generously, honestly and patiently (long 2 months email communication) gave us the information we need during our quest for that ideal enclosure, without knowing that we will give the job to him. This alone is suffice to make us decide giving our business to Mr.Handyman. Striving for accountability, fairness and avoiding unwanted surprise, we had requested and opted to pay a bit more to turn the estimate into a firm flat price contract, even after being offered less charges for if work done is less and cap it at the contract price if more. (Mr.Handyman's contract amount is less or at most *at par with the other estimates we received from similar competitors). *some companies include 'asbestos test' for questionable reasons. The installation was scheduled and carried out on time by a polite and cheerful Service Technician, Geoff Coulter. He corrected an improperly arranged water shut-off valve done by our strata original contractor 20+ years ago so that we can access it easily without shutting off the main valve. His mild-mannerly averted a situation incited by one of our strata neighbor who probably got up from the wrong side of the bed and decided to be nasty on Geoff's first day working in our unit. The highlight was the 2nd day when Tim and Geoff managed to bring the bulky middle-part of the shower unit down a set of stairs to maneuver it into the bathroom without damaging any wall or door. The 3rd day, our Made in Canada, 100% acrylic multi-piece Maax Camelia (from Lowes), TriplePlus shower door and shower head (from Rona) were successfully installed. The work area clean, debris removed and a finishing paint was scheduled. Our new shower has been functioning beautifully well since (work completed on 25Mar2021). Adding to our peace of mind, Mr. Handyman includes 1 year warranty for all their work. We are fortunate to have Mr.Handyman as our reliable handyman and would be very happy to recommend them personally.
