Upon considering a major renovation on our kitchen we were so grateful and much relieved to discover the Consulting Service provided by Harvey at HomeHandyGuy. We have done many renovations on our home but nothing as substantial or expensive as this undertaking. We were unsure of even where to begin, how to find a reputable contractor, what the renovation process entailed and so many other questions needing answers. In our meeting with Harvey, he walked us through the entire process from beginning to end answering all my questions and others we hadn't even considered. As well, he provided us with a referral list for all aspects of the renovation and a detailed outline of the process, that we could refer to as needed. Harvey’s friendly manner, expertise and extensive experience have assisted us greatly! We feel confident now moving forward with our project! We are so grateful to Harvey and would highly recommend his service as an essential first step to any renovation.

I am not sure where to start as there are so many amazing things to say about Harvey and his work. From the moment we met him, with all of his help in preplanning our big project, we knew and were confident that everything would go smoothly with our renovations. Harvey is one of the few people that go the extra mile to ensure his clients are happy and that the job gets done properly. We are so happy with our final project and am so excited about all the recommendations he made to make our kitchen/dining rooms so beautiful. We always appreciated his phone calls checking on other contractors etc. to make sure all the phases were going well. His referral list of people we used to hire out some work were fantastic! They were all very skilled, trustworthy and organized. We were very impressed with how all the phases were completed and we appreciate all the work Harvey did in organizing all of this. We also noted his attention to detail and how everything was completed with the utmost care and preciseness. We especially love the under cabinet LED lighting. It really looks amazing and gives such a nice ambience to the room. We would like to thank Harvey for making our kitchen/dining rooms amazing places to have many wonderful fond memories with our family. We would definitely recommend Harvey and his company to help with kitchen renovations and lighting solutions. Our final project was better than we could have ever imagined!
Thank-you

On behalf of Tracy and myself I would like to thank you for the excellent job you did on our kitchen renovation. We have been most impressed by your professionalism and attention to detail, not to mention your patience with our three year old son, Grayson.
After having dealt with some "bad contractors" it was refreshing to find someone who not only did what they said they would do, but who worked hard to resolve problems and followed through on any difficulties that came up in a timely and professional manner. The finished product is beyond our expectations, and we have already had many comments on how beautiful the kitchen is. We would be happy to provide a reference to any of our future clients.

Harvey you have been a dream to have as my contractor. Your work ethic, integrity, professionalism, cleanliness, and patience for my sticky notes have been second to none. You provided me with a quote and project outline that, first of all, was beautiful, and second of all, you stuck to. As you know, I've given your name and number to damn near everyone I know who dared to utter the words "kitchen" and "reno" in the same sentence! You were absolutely amazing to work with and I have been nothing short of thrilled with the job you've done. Thank you so much! The planets were obviously aligned in my favour when I met you!

Just a note to thank you for your thorough and professional assistance with our kitchen renovation. Updating our kitchen in Edmonton didn't seem like such a difficult task with your assistance.
I was impressed with your professionalism from the first time I met you. You arrived at the house with a briefcase full of photos of other kitchens you had done, as well as a number of suggestions and brochures you provided for additional ideas. I felt comfortable that you were going to be thorough and that you would do a great job. I appreciate the time you took to come over and give me a detailed explanation of areas that needed repair in the kitchen, as well as looking at possible options to achieve the desired look and updating that our older house required. Your careful attention to proper procedure, ensuring that we didn't’t cut corners, and doing the job right left us with a first class re-modeling job.
The careful pre-planning as well as accommodation of requested changes was also appreciated. Once the job started we really looked forward to your nightly updates and photos that kept us in touch with our project from a distance. We could see the work you had completed and we eagerly anticipated the next update. I value the honest conversations and long distance phone calls that kept me in touch with what was happening. Having you hire and supervise the other contractors also took a great weight off of our shoulders. Everyone that you recommended provided us with quality work - so hats off to you for working closely with other professionals who aspire to the same high standards as yours.
When you watch HGTV (e.g. Holmes on Homes) you can see the shoddy work of carpenters who do a quick fix or cut corners to save time and money! It makes homeowners (especially those who live a long distance from their property) reluctant to get involved in projects that you cannot personally supervise on a daily basis. Thankfully this was certainly not our experience. Working with you was a pleasure and I am glad that we connected with you. We would certainly call you first before contacting any other contractor in the kitchen renovation area and we would be happy to recommend your work to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship completed by a dedicated professional. Thanks! You and your superior work are sincerely appreciated.

It was our delight to have Harvey install our kitchen cabinets. We started demolition in late June and it was perfect timing, the BBQ and take away worked just fine for the summer.
The schedule that Harvey set out was followed and adhered to very well. Harvey’s easy going manner was a bonus with an always friendly and helpful demeanor.
Here are some comments from the person who is the main user of the new kitchen:
We are very pleased.

We first met Harvey, the Home Handy Guy at the Edmonton Reno show, which we attended to get ideas for redoing our kitchen. Some years earlier we had redone the bathrooms using a large company and our experience was less than stellar. Harvey was very professional, listened to our whingeing about our earlier experience and agreed to look at our kitchen and offer a quote.
Harvey arrived promptly at the appointed time, assessed the kitchen, and offered ideas. He produced a blueprint type plan and a written estimate.
Work commenced on the date agreed to and the total cost was virtually the same as the estimate.. He followed a schedule that caused minimal disruption to our lives and organized the sub-trades so that they were part of his master schedule (his choice of sub-trades was also excellent). When an error was made in the manufacture of some of the cupboard doors, Harvey was on it and dealt with the situation promptly.
Our experience with Harvey was extremely positive. He was professional, organized and efficient. We could not have had a better coordinator/worker. He was unfailingly pleasant and we ended up with a beautiful new kitchen.

We contracted HomeHandyGuy to do our Kitchen renovation after meeting Harvey Hoffman at the Renovation show. From beginning to end Harvey was knowledgeable and helpful in bringing our kitchen to life. Harvey has a great attention to detail and used his experience to guide us through a myriad of details. He delivered on his commitments and did an outstanding job minimizing any inconvenience during construction. He arranged demolition; electrical, plumbing and counter tops installation. He did an excellent job installing our new cabinets with care and precision. He told us what to expect and managed to clean up every night before leaving!! The proof of his work is in the final results. We are thrilled with our kitchen and have already recommended HomeHandyGuy to our friends. (We actually started recommending him before he finished)
Thanks very much.

It is with pleasure that we write to you regarding the kitchen renovation that you performed so well on our behalf. It was done in a most orderly fashion, with the organizing and choosing of the many suppliers, the arrival of their goods in a timely manner, and your installation of same. The final result was exactly what we wanted, your advice was treasured, and the process was first class. We appreciated you prompt return visits to adjust a couple of drawers, and to make sure we were happy with your work.
We have had many of our guests comment on the quality of the workmanship and we will have no hesitation in recommending your services to others. Thanks again for a great job.

When we decided to renovate our kitchen we faced many challenges. We removed part of the supporting wall, took out a large window and replaced it with a door and created some custom cabinetry and a custom island. We were also dealing with a 1950's home that had many electrical and plumbing problems. Harvey was up to the challenge. He provided us with reliable contractors to look after all the various areas of construction, plumbing and electrical as well assisted us in finding the perfect cabinets, floors, countertops and tiles. Our project took some time but the end result was wonderful and we are told many of the design concepts we used are now requested by many of Harvey's perspective clients. We are happy with HomehandyGuy and gladly recommend his services

Our kitchen renovation was a very exciting event with little stress. Having Harvey do the work was a key part of this experience. We enjoyed Harvey's easygoing personality. He offered ideas and suggestions and his work showed attention to detail. Because Harvey does the work himself we had few communication problems. He kept strictly to the dates and times he scheduled and we found him to be very trustworthy and dependable. Thanks Harvey for doing what you do so well!

First contact with Harvey Hoffman was made at the Home Reno Show Feb. 2007. We liked his friendly professional manner when he presented his proposal for our kitchen renovation at our home. We decided to hire him. The schedule was set up and Mr. Hoffman adhered to it faultlessly. His workmanship was impeccable with little disruption to our home. We are well pleased and highly recommend Harvey Hoffman as a kitchen contractor.

We feel lucky and relieved to have hired The HomeHandyGuy as our contractor/installer of our new kitchen. Having seen the endless horror stories of home reno's on TV, we have to admit being a bit concerned with starting a reno of our own. But it could not have went any better or planned with HomeHandyGuy. Everything went as smoothly as possible, the financial and time estimates were accurate, the areas of plumbing and tiling subcontracted out were done efficiently and as scheduled and any missteps/unforeseen challenges were fully explained and dealt with accordingly, until we as the customer were completely satisfied. We just want to add that Harvey, the HomeHandyGuy, himself was so reliable, professional and great to get along with. It was our pleasure to work with him and watch him transform our kitchen. The results are awesome and speak for themselves.
Thanks.

When we moved into our house 12 years ago we were faced with pumpkin orange melamine cupboards and green wrinkled indoor outdoor carpet. As awful as it was we could only afford a quick paint and cheap lino. 12 years later we did in right by hiring Harvey the HomeHandyGuy. Over the years we had a lot of small things done around the house with contractors who failed to show up or even call. You almost hate to pick up the phone again. In my line of work I provide pet care and dog walking services. I bless the day that I stumbled upon this nice man working on one of my customers kitchens. My customer told me he did very nice work and was happy to recommend him. My husband and I asked him to come to our home and discuss our new kitchen plans with him. He was concerned about our wait time but we had already waited twelve years. Harvey was always there when he said he would be there. He communicated throughout the entire renovation project, and in the chaos he always left his work area clean. We also appreciated his kindness around our dogs. (they miss him) We have no reservations whatsoever in recommending Harvey Hoffman, the HomeHandyGuy for your kitchen project.

My husband and I moved to Edmonton from Calgary in September 2006. We had purchased an older home that required a tremendous amount of updating. Being new to the city and not knowing where to turn, I met Harvey while he was doing a reno next door. After our initial meeting in late November, we agreed to a scope of work and he got underway in January '07. The best thing that I took away from the experience is that from the first day that he arrived on site, Harvey lived up to his slogan "he treated our home like it was his own". I very much appreciated the care and attention that he took around our home and the trades that he brought with him (Gerry the Plumber and John the Electrician) were terrific and they did really great work. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to bring any of these three gentlemen into our home again.
Thanks again for a great job, we get loads of compliments.

Harvey was highly recommended to us by relatives who he had done work for. We really liked dealing with Harvey in terms of our major home renovations as he was sincerely interested in listening to the types of changes that we wanted. He has a vision and a creative quality that helped my wife and I make decisions regarding the specific renovations we were going to undertake.
While he did all the kitchen and back entry way renovations and all light fixtures and fans, as well as some baseboards and trim, he also was able to refer us to excellent people who did upgrades on other rooms of our house. As he progressed through the work he continuously asked my wife and myself for feedback and was always willing to modify our original plans to suit our needs. Even after he completed the work he was available in case we wanted last minute changes. Quite frankly, we very much enjoyed having Harvey work in our house. His enthusiasm for his work motivated my wife and myself to spend the extra time needed to make the renovations that we are now extremely happy with.

The Home Handy Guy created the "show home" kitchen that I planned and asked for. Every detail from the ordering of the cabinets to the very last finishing touch was taken care of professionally and with expertise. It was exciting to see everything come together in a very professional, yet personable and timely manner. After checking out several area kitchen contractors, Harvey was the only one who was able to create my dream kitchen at an affordable price.
Thank you.
