Handyman Connection

I had 2 projects quoted with them,

1 for a shower door installation into porcelain that was on site, quoted 560 (which i though was already steep, but in a hurry we approved it), final bill for installing 1 shower door came to about 780 dollars!

Second quote for for installation of baseboards/trim around a 500 sqft basement/stairs (approx 120 linear feet) and 2 windows approximately (20 linear feet). In addition asked if it was possible to get an estimate to install some floor transition strips and potentially mount a bathroom mirror with clips for us.

There were only 1 quote given without any attempt to faciliate the additional projects that we weren't originally looking for, and the quote was for 1000 dollars!. That felt like 100 for hanging a mirror and like 8-9 bucks per linear foot of baseboard that we already owned!, too expensive.

I requested a service call for an electrician to come in and change some pot lights. I provided the material.

I have extras on hand. Anyways, long story short, when I went to use the light later in the day it was flickering. It was not operational out at the start and the fact that it was flickering indicated to me that it likely was not installed right. Perhaps a loose wire.

Anyway, when I reached out to ask about a service guarantee, the owner went ham on me and said it was my fault, and implied it was bad parts. The right thing to do would be to say no problem, let me have someone come out and look at it.

I found the man to be rude and condescending. In a nutshell, Jiffy here I come!

My dispute with Handyman Connection and Owner Manager Haider Ghazi:

It can happen to You!

After a bad job from this company/Franchise, I had a good fight with Haider Ghazi for denying the guarantee in workmanship, He stablished His ground and like a mule he didn't walk the talk.

The 'one year labour guarantee" and the "total home protection" gave Me confidence that all will be fine, but I was wrong, is only to hook You in to signing before completion, and resulted to be false promises.

The description in the Labour Quotation and the invoice had different wording and this is where the problem arises. so be careful, don't pay and don't sign until the description in both documents are exactly what you want, because Mr. Ghazi adds words that don't come in the description.

After learning My mistake that trusting got Me in to this situation, (because I thought that people is like Me an honest guy with integrity) and because I don't have the habit of paying for a bad job, I retained certain amount of money with My credit card company who investigated with the merchants bank and I quote what they said "We investigated and found that the merchants bank accepted liability from Handyman Connection" (I have proof of this)

After this incident, I didn't hear from HMC again, until January 2019, this is 9 months after this incident.

Haider Ghazi said to Me by e mail that he had placed a lien in My property, this was a lie that enraged Me and I detected that this guy wanted to make this problem bigger and in my opinion, Ghazi was after My house by any illegal trick he could pull on Me, at one point Ghazi wanted to put a *** on Me to stop Me from publishing criticism about Him or His business.

You see guys at what extent some people hate freedom of speech to make the public aware of *** and ***

So I decided to publish My first review in my life with my personal opinion motivated by the sadly infamous Haider Ghazi.

If you guys after reading this review You insist in jeopardizing Your home with bad job and a manager with unmeasurable greed is Your privilege, I am only telling a true account of events, that happened to Me and it was like a nightmare coming from the sewer, total ***

So this is what I did, I took Ghazi off my back, and I spoke with My lawyer and he sees a good probability to get even, but this time in a Criminal Court.

Ghazi, You only go around sneaking on people to screw with Our homes, and that is what a MAN don't take easy.

You can NOT put a lien in somebody's home without a court order first, so Ghazi lied, using intimidation to collect a debt already lost after the credit card company investigated that HMC was liable, Haider Ghazi committed the crime of making false statements, and intimidation tactics based on falsity to get My money without complying with the guarantee.

Ghazi tried to make Me responsible for the bad reviews He has, at one point He said that I asked another people to post reviews about His business, I don't know what kind of *** He smokes, probably *** for sure. Ghazi was going all over digressing from the real problem.

I am sorry Ghazi, I am not Your Daddy and I can't stop other customers pissed about you of saying what they think of Your polluted way of dealing.

But if You want to be adopted, take Your place in line.

Is horrible to deal with a psychopath that has done bad things to many people and He doesn't know anymore who is reviewing about him.

For Your information, anyone has the right to post an honest review about any business, this is with the intention to protect customers, You can't stop somebody to post a truthful criticism, is Our legitimate right!

Ghazi, You don't respect your customers who are the daily bread of your Family, and Your workers, with Your twisted attitude You yourself are harming your way of life and those who depend on You, You are a total idiot.

We can see this in all the criticism that you get.

in this Country Canadians are respectful of each other, but You show hate to those who approach to get services from HMC and what We got from You is a bully and disrespectful manager/owner that uses abusive language with those who feed you giving you work, you are a bad dog!

In less than a year, you have destroyed the trust Canadians had for Handyman Connection. Do you hate people?

Did you guys know that for a class action You only need two and a representative? now you know.

Had an emailed-confirmed appointment with their man Jim @2pm on Jun 19. The man did not show up and nobody called me to let me know (which one would expect from a company offering professional services), so I called them @2:30 and Grace told me the previous job was running late and Jim should visit by 3:30 or so.

But 3:30 came, then 4pm and no Jim, and again nobody even bothered to call to let me know, so I called them again @4:45pm. This time I spoke to someone else who promised to find out what happened and call me back, but we are a day later and yet no call or apology whatsoever.

What a disappointing standard of service. I took time off work to wait for them and they wasted my entire afternoon
