These people do not work for me.  I put them there and designed a system To serve you better. They are all self employed just like me. You can even make appointments with them  and me together on line, saving all of us lots of time.

COME TO MY VIRTUAL HOUSE

 

 

Now this vehicle can park underground where the old one could not.

So no where there was a parking issue before , It has been eliminated and I can now park almost anywhere.

And I did it all for you.

I do these things to serve my customers better. My system is the only one which allows you to book in several different trades people who I trust and have used in the past, all at the same time.  Please be shocked if they all show up at the same time. No other handyman in the world has a Virtual house tied into the booking system which helps you determine which trades person you need  for which job.  And all of this saves you more time than anything in the world. Please tell me what you think of your viewing experience. PLEASE EXPLORE DOWNWARDS. IF YOU HAVE A MOUSE WITH A "WHEEL" ON IT JUST ROLL DOWNWARDS

When I sold this truck below I bought this van  because I needed a vehicle to demonstrate the "Handy-Hoist."  I almost retired here.  Canadian tire bought 15,000 units and I shifted  my business off to work on the project.  But then  I spent all my time in a shop working with my new business partner on them. 

 

I have stopped Les the Handyman

however the new Virtual House is coming soon, I hope!

Book ME in and tell me about your project

I do not do this type of "cheap construction" but I do not understand how the government

can accept this garbage and the unsuspecting customer who buys it once everything

is covered over with other construction materials  Anytime it rains while a house is being constructed, if the house is not protected,

the  wood will absorb the water and swell and in most cases the builder just  hides it behind something else.  I would never buy a newly constucted house.  I will build my own myself.

ALL THE DARKER SPOTS,  ARE POTENTIAL FOR WATER  DAMAGE

I can tell you stories......

 

I have already designed some successful products together with my father who was a well known Mechanical Engineer who had won many Design Canada Awards.

 

 

I do not subcontract,   you need a contractor when you are building a home.  You do not need one to fix your fence.  If I send you a person, you deal with them directly.  If you like them, hire them.  Some give me a small referral fee, some do the odd favour for me and from some I get nothing.  The most important thing to me is a happy customer.   For me, A happy customer is a return customer who tells  their friends about me.

I hope you like my web site  

Fast Efficient, Friendly service with a smile,  an easily accessible web site  designed for  the non-technical person who wants to get  where they need to and if possible,  make an appointment with no stress or wasted time.  And they especially do not want to play telephone tag.

Perhaps the fact that I have been in business for over 20 years, may say something about who I am and the quality work I deliver.  I have several video customer testimonials.  They are real customers  and not friends.

The fact is that I have referred millions of dollars of business to others in the name of good service even when I had the Les the Handyman Hour on CFRB RADIO 1010    (MORE) A BACKGROUND in Hospitality interior design, I designed and build restaurants all over the world, even Europe. (even turn key ones - ask me of you are interested in this)   Need your kitchen designed. I will make it look good but with total functionality.  i have only seen a few well designed kitchens and I know how to hide all the wires so you see almost no wires from all the appliances plugged into the wall. I am the only one.  I have been doing this  before all those reality shows.  I can design a concept, create the menu,  work out the portions with a chef, do the food costing, design the restaurant and bar to code, supervise the construction, order the kitchen equipment, supervise the installation of it all, put in just about any system from a manual one to a totally computerized one like "squirl," hire the staff, train the staff, design the menu, photograph the (HAVE 15 YEARS COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPERIENCE) food, create the web site, Manage the restaurant and then it is running smoothly, hand they keys over to the owner.  Beat that HOLMES!!!  HAHAHEHEHEEHEH

I guarantee your happiness because without my customers, I would not have a business.

I want Les NOW
