"The installation of our new garage door went perfectly. The team worked efficiently, cleaned up after themselves, and made sure everything looked great. They even showed me how to use the remote properly."

"I’ve been a customer of Wilber’s for several years. Up till now I’ve always found them to be reasonable in price, professional, reliable and trustworthy. I don’t know what’s happened but, they are no longer the company they used to be. I recently hired Wilbers to repair a loose newel post at the bottom of my stairs. When Danny the estimator came he explained that it might be an easy fix or more involved if they needed to install a new 4X4 interior post. Though I requested that he provide estimates for both scenarios he only sent the estimate for the worst case scenario. I let that go because I trusted that they would do the right thing should it prove to be an easy fix. When they arrived it turned out that all that was needed was to replace the wooden board in the basement with a 2 ft. 2x4 and tighten the bolt that runs inside the post. The workers were here for 1 hour and for this Wilber’s decided that a fair price was $820. It seemed absolutely outrageous to me that they would charge me $820 to tighten a bolt so I tried reaching out to Wilber 3 times and asked that he call me back to discuss. Well he never called me back. I can only assume that he knows full well that he did is wrong and is unable to justify his outrageous pricing. It’s sad that Wilber thinks this is how you should treat a loyal customer and it’s certainly disappointing to discover what an unprofessional and unethical person he is. I certainly will never utilize the services of Wilbers ever again and I would caution anyone thinking of hiring them to think twice. Wilber is a man that lacks integrity and therefore someone you cannot trust to do business with."

Your happiness is my #1 priority. Small local construction company started January 2017. I have over 20 yrs of experience in anything to do with homes. I am a firm believer that no job is to small because it is about building relationships. If you need a faucet replaced, drain clogged, toilet replaced, bathroom, kitchen or basement renovations, we are here to help with whatever you need. References upon request.

"We hired Adrian and his team for a much-needed facelift of our front porch, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The entire process, from start to finish, demonstrated a truly meticulous approach to their craft across both projects. Adrian's team skillfully handled every aspect of the porch renovation. They successfully reserviced the floor, installed beautiful new molding, and applied fresh paint all around, which has completely transformed the curb appeal of our home. The quality of the finish on all elements is impeccable and clearly shows their high standards. In addition to the porch, Adrian also installed new windows in our basement area. This was a critical job that involved removing old rotted wood, carefully weather sealing the entire opening, and installing the necessary exterior capping. This detailed work ensures the windows are perfectly watertight, energy-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing from the exterior. What truly set Adrian and his team apart was their incredible professionalism and attention to the small details. Each day, they ensured the entire work area was left absolutely spotless, showing immense respect for our property and minimizing any disruption. We highly recommend Adrian for any home improvement project. Their dedication to quality, cleanliness, and exceptional results is outstanding."

We are a locally owned family business supported by a national franchise company which is North America's most trusted handyman company. For more than 15 years we've consistently hired experienced, reliable craftsmen​ (not sub-contractors) who are licensed, insured, bonded and background checked. That means you'll receive consistently high quality work that is 100% guaranteed. What sets us apart​: Mr. Handyman's professionals arrive in branded uniforms and vans that are stocked with every tool they'll need for your job. Our on-time record is second to none, and we arrive ready to work. One phone call to Mr. Handyman hires professionals who complete your entire "To Do" list. Every task whether major or minor home repair is prioritized according to your needs. Rather than calling a specialist for drywall repair and another contractor for rain gutter repair, your neighbors consistently choose us for all their home improvement needs. Mr. Handyman can complete a variety of projects for you, from installing doors, to tiling your bathroom, repairing your deck and much more.

"Had to reschedule my original appointment due to their late arrival for the first scheduled time. The office admin was helpful in taking care of that. Once they did arrive on a later date, the work was done quickly, efficiently and of high-quality. I will consider them for an additional project in the future."

Granite Countertop Companies questions, answered by experts

Cutting stone comes with a number of safety hazards. First and foremost, if you’re not comfortable with the equipment required to cut stone, including blades and grinders, you could easily injure yourself. The heavy machinery also poses a risk to your ears if you don’t wear proper ear protection; similarly, you need to wear eye protection to keep debris from irritating your eyes.

However, the biggest risk from cutting stone comes from the stone dust. When breathed in, stone dust can be a huge hazard to your lungs. Always wear a face mask when cutting stone to prevent inhaling stone dust, and thoroughly clean the work area when you are finished.

To avoid injury, we recommend hiring a stone-cutting professional, rather than attempting this job yourself.

The timeline to install countertops largely depends on the materials and the job size. Installing granite countertops takes anywhere from two to seven hours, though complex designs can pass the eight hour mark. Average-sized quartz countertops take two to five hours to install, though most pros will recommend a 24-hour settling period. Marble, on the other hand, is finicky and can take up to two whole days to install. No matter how you slice it, however, a professional is going to complete the job much quicker than an amateur.

While quartz countertops are durable indoors, they are not made for outdoor use. Exposure to sunlight, weather, and even heat from barbeque grills can cause the resins to break down, impacting the surface.

If you have light renovation experience, you should be able to build your own countertop made from wood or laminate. These tend to be the most DIY-friendly materials, but you’ll need to be comfortable using a circular saw and taking precise measurements. When it comes to installation, leave anything that involves plumbing, electricity, or gas lines to the pros.

Installing a kitchen island costs anywhere from $900 to $6,500, and even more in the case of complicated builds. The average price for most homeowners is around $4,800. The cost fluctuates according to materials, unique design components, accessibility concerns, size, and more. Prefabricated kitchen islands tend to cost much less than custom jobs.
