Before doing any work they respectfully explained the options to my spouse (who was home at the time managing this project), answered questions, and ensured they had her agreement.

I would recommend to be clear with them on expectations of quality. multiple parts of our installation ate left unfinished and left with easy access for rodents to enter home and garage. once they got their final payment it has been a hassle to get them back to fix issue. the finish quality is poor. if you use them be sure to with hold funds til all work is complete. be clear where you want placement of all components as if not they put them in wherever they want and you will come home to a surprise placement of the component.

AB Tech was recommended by a friend of ours so I called Bruce and explained the situation. Good news/bad news: it was a Friday and he was in the middle of a big job and couldn't come until Monday. Then an hour later, he called to say he was breaking away from the big job to come look. He noted that the boiler wasn't serviced in a while and the pilot needed replacing. He spent a couple hours on this when I know he had to get back to the big job, but he was committed. He just came back today to finish the service. I'm grateful to Bruce and his crew for taking the time to help us. It would have been a cold weekend.

The second time I used Ab-Tech the guy charged me $168 for a zone valve and $15 for miscellaneous. $157 for 15 minutes of labour. Total cost $370 (taxes included). Seems kind of expensive. Overall, the workers were prompt and professional and solved the problems quickly. I just don't understand their fee structure.

Our kitchen was flooded with sewage and we needed help - the remediation company came in and tore…read moreout everything. I could have a restoration or I could have a renovation - if I could find the right person. I needed someone who could step into a very confusing situation of 4 insurance companies; 3 adjusters, 2 remediation companies and me - a person who has never dealt with a renovation, never-mind a renovation under the umbrella of an insurance claim during a really bad flood season in Vancouver. I started getting estimates. Who knew that a tiny kitchen renovation could cost as much as $45,000? This was far out of the range of possibilities as the insurance companies were only willing to pay a measly compensation for our losses. I never want to hear the words: "you are not supposed to benefit from insurance" again. Apparently, benefit means getting anything that is a bit nicer than the 1980's sewage coated kitchen that had been removed. I asked Westside Handyman Group to come and give us a quote after finding it here on Yelp and reading the reviews - even though the reviews showed as not recommended, they looked legit to me. Mark is more of a handshake guy, but he was willing to write things up for me. He gave us a quote and a ton of advice as to how we could bring in a kitchen renovation that was within the budget that we were going to receive from the insurance claim. He even broke it down into 3 phases based on the work and the provision of funds. The job was dragged out over months, because the insurance money came in slowly and because the cabinets that we ordered took 8 weeks to be created and delivered. Mark was always reassuring and confident. He encouraged us in the process and he made the time to do the work even though by the time the cabinets arrived, he had moved on to multiple other projects. He even helped us out with advice and tool loans when we decided to do the floor tiling ourselves! The job was finished up this last weekend (Easter weekend, but Mark came over to put on the finishing touches). I have a new kitchen now. It was torn down to the studs; the old fashioned sunshine ceiling was removed and a new ceiling with pot lights was installed. I have new cupboards and an over the range microwave. The old fashioned wall that separated the kitchen from the dining area is gone and it's now an open concept kitchen with small bar. Plus I have a huge wine rack that is attached to the wall. It's a lot nicer kitchen now. And, very importantly to me - the cost was as quoted. I can say without reservation that if there is any work that we need down in the future, the first and hopefully only contact we will make, will be with Mark of the Westside Handyman Group.

They were responsive to my calls. communicated well and reasonably priced. Many others in town didn't even bother getting back to me. Bestway's Pricing was clear: initial half hour includes the call out fee and then hourly after that. Extremely professional and courteous. I was also impressed by his knowledge, as i was considering doing the fix myself but damn glad I didn't. Looked easy, but ended up being a bit more challenging of a set-up. Jafar's skills proved why calling a pro is the smarter thing to do when dealing with gas. I definitely could not have rebuilt pipe fittings and couplers on the fly like he did. I probably would have had to bust some drywall or damage the siding. Helped me do the gas conversion too. Once again, hard for me, easy for him. My experience was smooth as everyone wants these things to be. Highly recommend for his mad skills and excellent value.
