One of the things that we admire about Handyman Reality is its expertise in residential services. The owner, Dan Moody, has been a handyman since 2008 but has previous experience in plumbing and home appliance installation.

Another thing we like is the affordability he offers to clients. He charges an hourly rate of $50.00 with a 2-hour minimum job, which is within the reasonable rate in Edmonton.

His clients liked his rates too. Some even compared his fees to other handyman services and found it the most competitive.

As far as services go, he can do plumbing, electrical, painting, maintenance, assembly, and installation. This is something we like because it covers the main residential issues for homeowners.

Our main concern is he’s not a licensed journeyman, as he didn’t complete the last part of the program to earn the certification. As a result, his insurance company cancelled his policy because of the lack of license. 

Currently, he’s self-insured. And in our opinion, these details can possibly deter potential clients. 

Also, since his company’s a one-man job, he has limited tools and equipment. If you need to have a bigger project, you may need to rent other supplies.

On a brighter note, Moody is professional and noted by his clients as a jack of all trades. They mentioned that he was great at fixing and installation work.

Additionally, he was also accommodating and efficient in his work. Because of these, several homeowners have repeatedly hired his services for other issues – some have even had him as their only handyman!

For all-around handyman services in Edmonton, Abers Handyman and Renovations may be an option for you. It offers many maintenance and home improvement projects for residential and commercial clients.

The company’s licensed, insured, and has WCB coverage. With this, we believe potential clients will be happy knowing that everything’s covered in case of worksite accidents.

One of the things we appreciate is the team’s knowledge and expertise in plumbing and heating. They have the experience to install even the newest plumbing materials on the market.

Moreover, they can handle minor and emergency repairs in residential or commercial areas. The reason we mentioned this is that commercial sites usually have a more comprehensive system than homes.

Aside from that, they have a certified team you can rely on to install furnaces and hot water tanks.

You see, Edmonton can have harsh winters, so correct installation is highly essential for proper ventilation and to prevent safety hazards.

Another thing we want to mention is the team’s experience handling different commercial sectors, from offices to banks. Adding these to their CV can help earn client trust.

Clearly, it has helped because they’ve earned loyal clients over the years. Some have said the Abers handymen were efficient, thorough, and did excellent work.

Plus, they’re open six days a week. So, you can actually hire them on your day off – a plus in our books!

However, we’d like details on their guarantee in case of subpar work or if the client isn’t satisfied with the service due to minor issues. to add, we’d like to see pricing estimates for transparency.

The main thing we like about Hootech Services Ltd, a licensed handyman service, is its indoor and outdoor services. They can do simple replacement of light fixtures to snow removal in the winter.

Not many handyman services offer outdoor jobs, which is why we’re impressed with their variety, allowing you to stick with one company for many services.

Moreover, they can do eavestrough cleaning, deck staining, fence repair, and pressure washing. We also like their small portfolio online, so you can check their outdoor projects.

Quite honestly, we like the cleanliness and thoroughness of their work. Their deck restoration, specifically, looked like a brand-new installation.

As for their indoor services, they cater to small and medium-sized jobs. This includes toilet replacement, drywall repair, and wallpaper installation.

In addition, they can also help with post-construction cleaning, which is convenient for new home builds. The reason we like these is because of its convenience.

A slight drawback is the lack of available prices. Since they can help with many jobs in a single hiring, we think providing a price list can help clients with their budgets.

It’s also unfortunate you can’t hire them on weekends. You may need to take some time off if you plan on hiring them for residential work.

On the other hand, Hootech’s small team is efficient and professional. The clients we surveyed liked the top-notch quality, honesty, and fair prices.

Handyman Connection is a company in North America that has been operating since 1991. It has many franchises, with each one being locally owned and operated.

We appreciate that the handymen are insured on top of being vetted to make sure only trustworthy people are coming into your home.

Another thing we appreciate is it’s a BBB-accredited business, ensuring that it has met the standards of handling consumer complaints.

Aside from that, they have a guarantee for their services. It’s good to know that they provide this in writing, so you have proof.

Regarding services, they cover many aspects of maintenance, carpentry, electrical, and painting. We like that they can cover different projects, including home remodelling.

Still, we’d like readily available pricing estimates for easy access. This is to give clients a choice of arranging their budgets based on the services they prioritise.

Consequently, some clients didn’t get an estimate immediately, which was frustrating since they had no idea about the prices. Besides that, they mentioned the high prices compared to other companies.

Other complaints we heard are sudden cancellations and rescheduling. There were also instances of late showings on top of the rescheduled date.

In our opinion, these circumstances can cause delays in their clients’ schedules. Along with that, Handyman Connection is closed on weekends.

Moonlight Contracting and Handyman Services is an Edmonton-based company specialising in general contracting and remodelling services.

The good thing about this is the vast range of services, which is ideal if you need a tonne of repairs in your home. It’s also great for small or large projects since you don’t need to hop to a different company.

Each builder and handyman are registered and qualified to handle different aspects of the job. This can help assure clients that they’re meeting the right building standards.

In addition to that, each employee was vetted aside from thoroughly checking and talking with their references. The way we see it, the company cares a lot about who comes in and out of your home.

Another positive we found is the handymen’s skills in small or large projects. We like this since you can hire them for many aspects of home maintenance and repair.

Even though we appreciate the free estimates, it would be nice to have available prices, even for hourly labour rates. Adding this can be an advantage since renovations can be costly.

On the other hand, the clients we talked with liked the competitive pricing. Some even said there were no surprise charges, and they stayed within the budget.

Another drawback is the lack of guarantee details in case of workmanship issues. This is just to provide ease of mind to their clients.

Besides that, they can even do same-day service as long as their schedule permits. They’re also open on Saturdays, allowing you to hire them on your day-off.
