Outstanding and one of the best contractors that I have worked with in 30 years of owning a home. Lorne and his brother communicated what they would do and how long it would take, very little disruption and they stayed on the job until complete, they don't use subs. I would recommend them for about anything. We used them again for a minor flood in the basement, very prompt and resonable on the price.
Description of Work: Complete gut job for a bathroom refresh, took out all fixtures, drywall was removed down to the studs. we installed a walk in shower, moved drains and plumbing around and rewired the bathroom for new fixtures. New floor and wall tile was installed.

He is very personable. I can trust him in my home. He doesn’t answer his phone calls too well. His follow up is not very good. I had a leak in the shower door that I called him about. He came back to repair it and it still leaked. I called him about it and I haven’t heard anything so far. I had to actually call another company to repair the door. I like him. He has done other work for us that was fine but I just wasn’t happy about the shower door. The tile and the vanity that he did was great.
Description of Work: We used Pickens Handyman Service Inc. He replaced the tiles in the shower, put a new vanity in and also installed the shower door for us.

He arrived on time, was curteous and replaced the valve quickly. The next morning I noticed water on the floor and discovered the valve was leaking again. I put a pan under the leak and called Picken's to come back out. I called 3-4 times and always got his voicemail. I left a message about the problem with every call amd never got a return call. I finally gave up and called a plumber to replace the valve ($135.00). The plumber said the new valve had been tightened too tight and cracked it. I will not call Pickens again.

Couldn't be happier. All jobs were completed quickly and at a reasonable cost. Lorne was very professional and also helpful with any questions we had. He also went above and beyond the initial job by consulting a bad toilet & repairing a shoddy front-door install for free! Would definitely recommend Pickens Handyman Service Inc. to anyone.

We moved into an older home and it needed some attention. Lorn had done work for us in the past and he was the only one we wanted to do the work on our new home. He did a great job and he is currently back doing more work on the outside of our house.
Description of Work: We had some remodeling done in our kitchen, all of our electrical boxes and lights replaced, phone and electrical outlets put in, garage doors repaced and new garage opener put in, toilets replaced, and new doors hung. In addition, we replaced all of our windows and we asked Lorn to put them in for us.

The project went very well from the time Lorne started until he finished. Very honest, reliable and professional.
Description of Work: Lorne installed a new bath tub / & shower surround. He did the plumbing for the new fixtures and the drywall and mudding for the walls. The project turned out great and we couldn't be happier. Lorne stayed late to finish the job so our toddler could get a bath. We appreciate him very much. We have used him often thought out the years and plan to use his services for the years to come

Job 1: Everything he does is done well and he takes the time to explain what needs to be done. The best thing about him as I said before is his honesty, integrity and quality of work. That is becoming harder and harder to find. Depending on his availability, I'd use him every single time. This is the best contractor I've used so far. Job 2: Mr. Pickens arrived on time and started the job right away. By the time I got back the spickets were replaced and everything works great. He is very courteous, works hard, and communicates well on what needs to be done. Job well done. I would definitely use his excellent services again.
Description of Work: Job 1: Mr. Pickens has done many jobs for me and my wife. He is very capable and his integrity is of the highest. He has done plumbing (leaky valves under the sink), electrical (installed a ceiling fan and receptacle in the bathroom, and installed a water softener for us.($0.) Job 2: I had two very old exterior water spickets that needed replaced.($0.)
