The Canadian Plumber

I reached out to James with a strange request as we just moved into a house and it had a very very old treehouse in the backyard on a pedestal that I wanted to knock down and have removed 100% before my kids arrived.

He literally came out the next day and knocked out the entire project. Check out the before and after pictures.

It is hard to find good workers that actually do what they say they're going to do!  Thanks for the hard work James we will be using you again in the future.

Plumber #1 said it was too difficult of a job.
Plumber #2 didn't follow up on calls and emails.
Then came James, who I found through Yelp.  Thank you
to everyone who wrote a review.  

Shame on me because I did the whole 'cart before the horse' and bought a sink I loved before properly measuring.  It looked good on paper in terms of measurement.  No, it did not fit.  

James made it happen.  A little more sweat than expected but he made it work and I am happy!!!

More importantly, James is on time, reliable and hard working.  I sincerely appreciate someone who makes it happen.

I confirmed an appointment to repair a small section of my ceiling 2 weeks prior through Yelp, so I would be able to take some time off work.

The appointment was for 8a-10a on Yelp, so I messaged James at 7:50am to make sure he can find parking in my condo and alerted the doormen to save him a parking spot in the guest lot.

At 8:15a, he messages me back that his truck is not functioning and will message in an hour to confirm if he can or cannot fix the ceiling. 2 hours later he messages that he might be able to come back next week to fix it, but he is still unsure.

I understand that cars break down, but messaging 15 minutes after an appointment and having to be prompted to respond to a message is very inconvenient. Pretty unreliable overall.

James is amazing! I was looking for a handyman because my closet railing was falling apart and also my floating sink vanity was sinking a bit. He gave me a reasonable quote and was able to come take a look at it the next day. He fixed both issues quickly and I asked him to take a look at a few more things, which he happily looked at and was able to fix for me.

One of those things was a stubborn sliding door that was not sliding correctly. He even went out to buy materials and came back to re-install the mount. It was still not sliding correctly, so he came back the next morning to shave down the bottom of the door and re-mount it again. In the end, it was fixed and I am a happy customer!

If you are looking for a friendly, professional and experienced handyman, James is for you!

Responsive, considerate, and does excellent work.  At the risk of further encouraging his popularity, I must rate The Canadian Plumber five stars.

Great work quality!! James replaced a bathroom vanity which also required a large amount of drywall repair,  re-plumbing, and some unexpected baseboard adjustments. He paid attention to detail and made sure that the job was done right, and even cleaned up before he left :)

If you are looking for a company that doesn't respond to requests, then this is the company for you!  Fortunately we've found a reliable, professional plumber interested in our business.

James replaced my hot water heater after it started to leak. He was great to work with right from the first call.  He showed up on time which doesn't sound like much but seems to be rare these days with trades workers sadly.  He did excellent clean and professional quality work. The workspace was cleaner when he left than it was when he arrived. And as an added bonus he is super friendly and an all around good guy.  I wouldn't hesitate to call him for anything else in the future.  Thanks James!!

James did an admirable job for me.  I hired him after having to fire a plumber I had worked with for years.  

I scheduled with the previous plumber twice and he wouldn't show up or even call to say he wasn't coming.  It was a tremendous inconvenience to my tenant, who needed a simple water leak fixed.

James scheduled an appointment with me online, showed up on time, and made a valiant effort to make the repair in a timely fashion.

But... There was a glitch in the installation, and I was really nervous about having already paid for the services when we discovered the issue a few hours later (anti-scalding temperature setting in the new shower valve didn't allow enough hot water).  

James demonstrated honor and integrity by volunteering to come back and fix the mistake at no additional charge, without me having to ask.  Do you have any idea how rare that is these days?

As a business owner who has had, on more than one occasion, to go back and correct a mistake at my own cost I was impressed by his willingness to do so, and frankly his eagerness to make it right.

I would recommend him to apartment owners looking for a reliable handyman.  

You get what you pay for, and the lowest bidder isn't always the best option.

James did good work, and when we discovered a mistake he made it right, right away.  Can't ask for more than that!

We finally found the handyman our dreams!  Ever since we moved out of the area six years ago and have been renting our condo out, it's been a struggle to find someone we can trust and rely on to make the necessary  home repairs, until hiring James the Canadian Handyman.   James takes great pride in the work he does and it shows.  The first job James did for us involved him solving and fixing a major bathroom sink and pipe problem that others, including plumbers, could not figure out. He is upfront and honest, not afraid to consult with other professionals as needed, familiar with building codes etc., professional/personable, which ultimately has provided us with the best quality service/repair for our condo,  we have found on Yelp.  We continue to use Jame's services as needed.
Thank You James, our Canadian Handyman!

The reviews are true y'all, James is super knowledgeable and easy to work with. He's up front about what work is required and has fair prices. Any type of work being done in your home is stressful so it's really nice to have someone who is professional and an all around nice guy being the one do it. 10/10 would recommend to any and everyone. Thank you for your great help James!

James was a pleasure to work with and did such great work! We had him install a fence on our roof deck and it looks great! He is someone who takes pride in his work, he is very meticulous and shows attention to detail. No shortcuts taken. He made sure throughout the job that we were happy with the progress. He showed up on time and was overall just a great person to work with. He really delivered! We plan to hire him again for additional work because it's hard to find people in LA with all of the qualities and work product we got from James. We are lucky we found him and look forward to future projects.

My tenants' garbage disposal broke down late Friday and I called around for a plumber. James' pricing was the most reasonable and he also seemed the most knowledgeable so we decided to go with him. My tenants said he was prompt, got everything done quickly, and was also great to work with. If my tenants are happy, I'm happy - thank you James!

James was fantastic, and I would 100% call him again for anything plumbing-related! He was able to come the same I day I called him, was super courteous and friendly, did a great job fixing the sink and all within the span of less than an hour. Thank you so much!

Lifesaver.

His name is James and he actually is a Canadian, that part is not a gimmick. He is super nice and super handy. Also super cute. Basically, he's an all-around-super-Canadian.

Canadian Handyman James has the know-how, and more importantly owns the actual tools you will need to implement all the fixes. But literally!!!

I needed a metal fix in my house, and before I found James I had called another handyman, a plumber, 2 hardware stores, even a car body shop - they all knew how to fix it, but not one had the actual tool - not even the hardware store!! And then along comes sweet baby James... with the tool in hand! And it took him like four minutes to fix. This guy was in and out, and he completely saved the day. He was fast, super nice, and super competent!!

James is a true professional plumber. He's knowledgable, quick to respond and reliable. He has a positive attitude and takes pride in his work, which he guarantees. He also is quite handy around the house with repairs and maintenance projects. Plus, he's a nice guy. I highly recommend James.

James sanded and refinished and painted (2 coats) to 14 large old wood cabinet doors in my kitchen. Doors were about 25 years old and very worn. The job took time and the end result was well worth the time and effort spent. James is a hard worker and a perfectionist and an artist when it comes to his work. I highly recommend Canadian James for handyman work. He will be my go to handyman from now on.

I had a kitchen that needed new cabinets, we were assuming it was going to be expensive. James came by and sanded down our cabinets and made them look like new. We didn't expect them to look as good as they did but he did a fantastic job. Very professional demeanor and he was the most polite handyman I've ever met.

James replaced my kitchen faucet and installed our kitchen cabinets.
James was professional and displayed a very high level of craftsmanship and proficiency. He was polite and conscientious with the job.
Will definitely use him in the future.

We had James repair some dry wall patches, replace a broken door, and match paint at our business. He responded quickly, got us on his schedule and completed the job in a timely manner!  Really happy with his work and will definitely use him again for all our handyman needs.

The Canadian Handyman helped me out last minute when I was in a jam and no one else would come. I definitely appreciate the fast service and super friendly and helpful nature of this company. I have recommended to all my friends and family and they havent been disappointed! I'm very fortunate to have run across him. Thanks again for your help!

This guy is so awesome! We had him out to help with some work I had to do on my garage and he was such a great help. He gave me some great ideas on how we could execute the plans I had and was very open to all the details that for me, were totally crucial. Needless to say, I've hired him for several more jobs since then and will continue to do so indefinitely. He has such a strong, positive attitude and thinks creatively and on his toes. My garage is the nicest it's ever been now and anything that needs fixed up around the house happens quickly and painlessly. If I could give him more than 5 starts, I would. P.s. my wife always invites him over for dinner after. His personality is incomparable. Like having your best friend over to help out. Cheers mate!

I called James over the weekend to fix my toilet. He came out on time and quickly figured out what the problem was.  He was very courteous and very  professional.  He explained exactly what happened and what he did to
fix it. I highly recommend James. If I ever need a plumber or a handyman he will be the first person I call.

James is awesome! On time and set about getting our place fixed up with a list of jobs we had built up. Very friendly ave knowledgeable. We'll definitely be utilizing James' services again.

One word-AWESOME!  James is not only professional, but provides friendly and excellent service. I cold called him for a bidet removal and I was so pleased, he also installed my wall-mounted TV!  Highly recommend!  Thanks, James!

Very professional, reliable and responsive. Would highly recommend. James did a great job on our plumbing.

Excellent service when we needed him, came on time, had great attention to detail. We were very happy with his work. Would use again!

James was very thorough, professional and competent.   He's a one guy fix-it, with a lot of experience in plumbing, painting, carpentry, whatever work is required in a home.  Also, very nice guy to boot.   I kept hiring him for additional work, and just asked him to do something else.  Those actions are the strongest vote of confidence.

We had the handyman install cabinets in our new garage and have to say it looks damn good. The professionalism and craftsmanship was way above par and couldn't be happier. Highly recommend

I needed a variety of small repairs done at a one bedroom rental unit.  James was responsive and timely and completed the repairs.  I am very happy with his work.  He also suggested regrouting the bathtub and bathroom window which I really appreciated because I hadn't noticed how bad it was.

Very happy with the work he did in a property we rent out.  He installed a new water heater and replaced a valve in our fireplace almost as soon as we called him.  Quick and easy.  It was very easy to communicate with him in spite of the distance, through phone, text and e-mail. Fast and easy. We will definitely call him again if something else comes up.

I hired James to paint two rooms in my apartment recently and I was more than satisfied and impressed with the quality of work and how fast and efficient he was in completion. The Canadian handyman was very courteous and easy to work with and I will definitely be using his services for the next project I have to get done.

Awesome customer service, was able to get James to come in within a couple days of contacting him, very reasonable fee, super happy with the results. Thank you so much! Will definitely contact James in the future when we have more work to do :)

James replaced our faulty shower faucet and fixed a toilet that was incorrectly installed by a plumber. He did a great job and we will definitely use him again!

James did a great job getting our bathroom sink up and running.  We had massive draining issues, the sink pipes were a jumble of incorrectly mixed parts/materials, and the vanity interfered with access to fixing the piping.  He replaced the vanity, streamlined the piping, and unclogged the drain, all while being communicative about his process.  Very highly recommended!

These guys helped our pest control business carry out a pest control service in a customers kitchen. Various appliances needed removing and it was beyond our ability. Highly recommended!

James the Canadian handyman was excellent. We had a problem with the sink in our bathroom and he sorted it out in no time. He even went to the store to get extra parts he needed. Everything was left clean and tidy. He did a great job and I'd highly recommend him.

James fixed all our drawers in the kitchen and the master bath. The fronts were coming off and the hardware was broken and had been driving us crazy for the past few years. I finally found James and he came and completely solved out problem. Our quality of life has now been improved! Thanks, James!
