Jean Hunter from Everything U-Need Handyman Services saved our kitchen renovation project by solving a structural problem on short notice. He did excellent work, followed Covid safety protocols carefully, and I highly recommend him.
We had a flooring contractor scheduled to come when we discovered that our kitchen floor (over an extension) flexed when the fridge was rolled across it. A disaster, because you can't install rigid flooring over a surface that moves.
A structural engineer (Andy Vizer) came to inspect and told us that the joists needed sistering and there was another challenge that needed fixing, too. The trouble was, how could we find someone who could come immediately? The engineer knew Jean and told him our problem, and Jean came immediately. That was a lucky break for us.
The repair was logistically challenging as the joists to be installed were longer than the room was wide, and also nothing in our old house was level or square. It was all overhead work. A long heating pipe had to be removed and reinstalled and the upper part of a wall had to be removed and replaced.
Jean Hunter and his apprentice, Louis, did all this work in one day for a very reasonable price. They worked quickly, independently and cheerfully, and cleaned up the site afterwards. We were able to have our floor installed without delay. Thank you, Jean Hunter! read more
