Edan Home Repair & Contracting

Steve has just completed a fairly extensive renovation of a two-storey apartment in our house. It included bathroom, kitchen, hvac, drywall, staircase, flooring, doors, trim, paint and lighting installation (I'm sure there's more I've missed). I have to say that it was a pleasure working with Steve. From day one he communicated with us on a regular basis, asking us questions, making suggestions and answering any questions we had. He has great attention to detail and is skilled at what he does. I look forward to recommending Steve to anyone that is looking for a general contractor. ~Carolyn

Steve expanded our main floor washroom to include a walk-in shower. The space needed was obtained by taking over an adjoining hall closet. In an innovative move, he expanded the space available to provide a full-size shower by relocating ventilation ductwork out of the former closet area. Steve built a new set of closets in the main hall, to provide even more closet room than we had previously.

The result was beyond our expectations.

Steve's workmanship was excellent in all respects. He took care to keep the work area clean. We found him to be a very pleasant guest in our house.

One of our friends recommended Steve Edan to us as they were happy with the work he did for them. We needed a bath tub to walk in shower conversion. Steve gave us good suggestions and suggested a bath fixture and a tile supplier, both of whom were very helpful. Steve took the time to come with us to help choose all the shower fixtures, he also found a glass shower door on sale and picked it up for us.

He discussed all the issues and made sure that everything was placed as we wanted.

All the work was skillfully and meticulously done. He is very neat and left everything ready to be used.

We would not hesitate to employ Steve again or recommend him to anyone contemplating a home renovation.

I was recently faced with an issue in my basement (water leak) that had all the floor damaged. I did call Steven who provided me with a very prompt response and fair estimate upon his assessment of the damage. It took him just a couple of hours to identify the root cause of the issue and fixed to avoid further damage. He did an excellent job to fix the wall and replace the flooring within the provided timelines with a high-level of quality and to our satisfaction. We were quite happy with his work, professionalism, and friendly approach that we soon had him back to do some other additional repairs around the home including the re-caulking of the master bathroom shower. Great service, no hassles, and reasonable fees so that I would not hesitate to refer his service to anyone who needs it.

Bathroom Reno, Story and Review:

I had damaged the tiles that surround my bathtub after a slip and fall against the wall.

I was looking for a reliable, professional contractor to re-tile my master bathroom tub surround and replace the plumbing fixtures. I found Steve Edan on TrustedPros and reached out to him through email. Steve responded quickly to my inquiry, and gave me a reasonable estimate for the re-tiling based from the pictures I sent.

I purchased the replacement tiles & faucet at the end of September. I knew that Steve was busy and wouldn’t be able to do the installation right away. A couple of weeks passed, and having found a solution I was getting anxious to have the shower fixed and brought back into use.

Steve said he could recommend another contractor who could do the work. The teardown work was completed by Steve in November. JD showed up shortly after to do the tile & plumbing work. He seemed personable, customer focused, and indicated he could do the work -- no problem. The work progressed slower than I’d expected and there were several workmanship issues developing such as a large gap at the bottom of the tile and tub where the faucet was located. To add to that, several tiles were uneven to one another, there was a chipped tile and gap by the showerhead, the overall result was poor. The job did not look professional and when I asked my son his opinion, his reaction was immediate, “looks worse than a DIY!”

I voiced my concerns and asked Steve to come over to have a look at the work. I showed him what was wrong. He agreed and said he would get back to me and let me know what could be done. Later that day he contacted me to say that he will re-do the tile and plumbing work. I was relieved to hear that, because I could not live with the job as it stood and had come to the same, regrettable conclusion that the work had to be redone.

Steve was quick to help me pick out some new tiles and suggested upgrading the shower fixtures. He’s very knowledgeable with great experience as well as insight. We did go back and forth on the tile selection, with active and productive debate. Having different tastes with some of the aesthetics was a good thing, the final selection could not have worked out better.

Steve started the re-do and right away I saw a whole different quality of work, vastly improved, and this was a huge relief for me. It took him a couple of hours to install the faucet and get everything ready for tiling. The tile work went smoothly. Everything was straight and even.

Another area of concern that is relevant to the job and this review is that when Steve first came to look at JD’s work, he pointed out the vanity sink looked like it has been scratched, most likely from someone cleaning a trowel in it. This was one of those secondary issues that adds insult to injury. Steve immediately resolved this issue as well, saying he would replace it at no charge for the labour or for the new sink. This was very positive and I was very thankful!

I can’t adequately express my happiness in how much Steve stepped up and made things right! It would have been endlessly aggravating, and untenable, to have left the job as it was first “completed”!

I do recommend Steve to anyone that wants a professional, conscientious and skilled contractor. Steve truly cares about the quality of work, his commitments and customer satisfaction. In any contract, it’s a two-way street, both parties have to be in it for win-win, and achieving a happy conclusion. Steve is this and more. I see it in the result of this project every morning, and it is good.

Up next, I’ve already started discussing some other projects with Steve.

Our master shower was leaking and water damaged the living room ceiling. My husband thought it could be fixed with some caulk around the drain but unfortunately that did not work.

I reached out to Steve Edan, who has done work for me before. He came over and assessed the situation. He told me what the most probable cause could be. He did a water test in the shower to confirm that it was the shower floor liner that was leaking. Unfortunately, it was not an easy fix, as the whole floor and some wall tiles needed to be removed. A semi big job! Steve quoted a price and I agreed to have the work done. The floor and sub floor were removed and the new sub floor installed and leveled with the waterproofing and drain. The most difficult part for us was to find a floor tile that would work with our existing wall tiles. Steve did an excellent job of finding a tile that went well with the existing tiles. We actually prefer the new tile to the old one. The re-build went well and came in at the quoted price. Steve even sealed some of the fixtures where the caulk had come off.

We are using the shower every day for almost a month and no leaks!

I count myself lucky to have found Steve. I find him to be very honest trustworthy and his work is of a high standard. I most definitely will call Steve again for any future projects big or small.

Steve did a fabulous job of gutting the previous ensuite washrooms, and rebuilt them with new ones by installing all new tiles on the floors; and the floors, walls, and ceilings of the two showers; raised the ceilings; replaced and installed new modern efficient shower doors, ceiling lights and great shower plumbing, new efficient toilets; new vanities and linen compartments and plumbing; painted the walls and ceilings of both rooms; and did the same for the powder room; helped me have an outdoor roof balcony efficiently replaced.

Steve is very meticulous in his work and has to get it right. He is neat and cleans up.

He is very personable, friendly, wants to please and get the job done right the first time.

I recommend Steve highly and want him to continue with other renovation and repair projects at our home.

We had a variety of home repairs that needed to be completed quickly, including drywall repair, bathroom vanity and faucet installation, clostet door installation and more. We were thrilled to find Steve. He was professional, reliable and his work was excellent. When we had questions about how a repair would be completed, Steve always had a sensible solution to the problem. Steve was able to complete all of our repairs in a reasonable amount of time and for a very reasonable price. I would not hesitate to hire Steve again.

Steve did a great job to expaned my daughter's closet. He went above and beyond. I was very impressed and definitely will work with him on other projects in my house in near future.

Steve was excellent in getting the job done. He changed my vanity and bathroom fixtures for the bathroom in my basement apartment. He has also done a number of various jobs around my how including replacing drywall, fixing lattice fence and bathroom plumbing issues.

Steve is not only a nice guy but, also a great contractor. He is honest and stays within the allotted budget. We had him come over to tear out and rebuild a coat cupboard by the front door because of condensation on the walls. He also took care of a couple of electrical issues while he was here. He hooked me up with a roofer and a window and door guy both of whom did excellent work. He is coming back to break open the basement floor and repair a cracked waste water pipe and I have every confidence that he will do a great job as usual. It took us a while to find a contractor that we felt comfortable with, but it was worth the trouble. I would highly recommend Steve.

Steve Edan is reliable, efficient, accountable and diligent in getting the job done. He takes pride in his work and works clean. He responds to a call quickly and commits to the job. I would recommend Steve to anyone who is in need of a general all purpose handyman.

Steve has been helping us at our home with minor repairs and improvements for almost 15 years now. As his skill set has expanded over the years, we have called on his services for a wider range of services, including repairs to exterior fencing and gates, garden fountain walls and pump, patio, and stone entrance way; and inside repairs to plumbing and lighting, drywall and painting.

Whenever a project has been too large in scope or beyond Steve's capabilities, he has helped coordinate services with other providers.

In all, Steve has always been responsive to our needs, swift in delivering assistance and fair in pricing his work.

We highly recommend Steve for all home repairs, big and small.

I have used Edan Home Repair and Contracting for several projects around my home. Recently he completed the building of my outdoor shed the same day and in very cold weather. Once again I am very pleased and happy with the work he did for me. I find him to be professional and his suggestions and attention to detail and quality of work exceptional. His rates are competitive and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. I will most definitely call him again for any future projects that I may have.

Steve Edan has been my first call when it comes to any kind of general repair work and minor construction projects and renovations. Steve has done an assortment of projects for me for 15 years. He's reasonable, responsible and works clean. Most importantly, I trust him and have confidence in the quality of his work. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a general, all purpose handy man.

I found Steve to be honest, capable, dependable and cost efficient as my handyman.

Steve came to see the projects I was considering doing and told me what he could do and gave me a budget to work with. In all the projects, he looked for ways to save me money on the material and get the best value. I consider his workmanship to be excellent.

I highly recommend Steve for household projects, from small repairs to larger plans. He is trustworthy and efficient.

We had a leak in the ceiling above the kitchen sink in our basement. Steve was able to determine that the leak was caused by a cracked connection in the stack pipe. He has quickly fixed the problem and I am thoroughly happy with the job he has done. In addition when I asked if he could have a look at an electrical problem we had. He once again very quickly identified the issue and had it fixed in no time at all. He is certainly very professional and most definitely a Trusted Professional.

We had planned a major renovation of our first floor & kitchen into an open concept layout. It included the removal of a partition wall, new cabinets, counter/sink, new flooring & re-orientating the basement stair entrance.

Steve was recommended to us by a family member, for whom he has done several projects.

From our initial meeting Steve was very friendly and personable. He understood what we were looking to achieve. He listened and asked relevant questions.

When the work began, he put up plastic to keep the dust from other areas of the house and kept his work area clean. He worked well with the other contractors and offered suggestions for the lighting, plumbing & duct work. He took his time to make sure everything was done right. From the sub-floor leveling, cabinet installation, tiling, drywall work and trim installation. The renovation exceeded our expectations We have received many compliments on the beauty & function of our kitchen and main floor.

Steve is very knowledgeable and we will definitely contact him again with any work or repairs we may want to do in the future. We would not hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone wanting to update or renovate their home and is looking for a conscientious and skilled contractor.

I have had Steve doing many of the plumbing, electrical and other handyman duties in all of my rental properties and at my family residence. He has an excellent knowledge and is very efficient. His rates are definitely very low compared to some of the others I had in the past.

I've recommended him to my friends and I still use him for these type of work.

He is also able to handle bigger projects like complete kitchen/bathroom renovations

You'll get a solid quality of work for a reasonable price!

I have now used Steve on three projects. At my home we renovated our family room including the replacement of the dated original fireplace. At my older sisters home we completely renovated the main floor of the house including removal of walls and installation of a new kitchen. At my younger sisters cabin we restored damaged walls, weak foundations, insulation and interior finish.

Through all this work Steve was prompt, willing, very hard working and easy to get along with.

I can definitely recommend Steve very highly for any renovation work you need, large or small project. Most important, Steve knows when to call for help or say he shouldn't do something.

Steve did an excellent job installing a ledge on the top of my garage to store large items. It was done with excellent workmanship and completed in a timely manner. Steve showed up when he said he would and came right in on budget.

Steve came to my rescue yet a second time. He fixed a botched backsplash job done by a dishonest and incompetent contractor. I wish I had hired him from the beginning. I will only utilize his services from now on.

From the first consultation meeting to project completion, Steve was courteous, knowledgeable and managed our expectations by being in constant communication about project progress and timeline. We couldn't be happier with his work, and the results in our home! (See pics for before/after on our mudroom). THANK YOU STEVE! We would definitely recommend working with him again - humble, economical and genuine.

Steve did an excellent job assembling my daughter's outdoor playhouse. He installed it on slanted ground and still managed to make it level. he was on time, fast, and professional. I would use him for future projects. Thanks Steve!

Contacted Steve to replace an older over the range microwave and install tile thru our kitchen. He was attentive to our concerns, as after installation the new microwave seemed to be venting excess air thru the kitchen cabinet and/or vent ducts. He took time to troubleshoot, then sealed off the duct's joints and made sure there was no or minimum air leakage. Steve stayed within budget and even suggested ways we could lower/save some. Definitively recommended and will hire Steve again.

I had laminate flooring installed by Steve and his company. They provided professional service and completed the work in a timely manner.I will be contacting them again for my next project!

We were planning to renovate our main bathroom this year and had Steve give us a quote last summer when he did some work for us outside around our house (leaky eavestrough and flagstone repair). When we decided to move forward in January I called Steve to come over to update his quote, which he did and at the same time gave us some ideas as well as direct us to where we could buy tiles, fixtures etc.

Once he started the job it became quite obvious from the demolition stage right on through hanging up the artwork that he is very meticulous and takes pride in his work. This is evident in the end result and we couldn't be happier with it.

Steve proved to be very knowledgeable and he will definitely be the first person I contact with any work or repairs we may want to do in the future.

I was very satisfied with the quality of work and the price. Fast, friendly and reasonable. I'm a happy customer.

Had problem with new microwave not venting properly. Steve was recommended by a friend. He provided professional knowledgeable advice and assistance, and my issue was quickly resolved. I would recommend him for any issues around your home.
