The Organic Handyman

The Organic Handyman has taken our 1990’s basement renovation to 2022, with beautiful results.

Our basement family room is gorgeous. The bathroom/laundry room is also outstanding! Our renovation was completed in a timely manner. Ryan has great vision when it comes to design and materials. Ryan was excellent to work with!

I had a very small and crowded en suite/main bathroom. The large corner set bathtub was totally impractical and unsafe and the shower stall was extremely small.

Ryan responded quickly to my e-mail and came to give me a detailed estimate. He provided excellent suggestions incorporating all MY wants. He provided locations where I could purchase tubs, vanities, tiles, etc ensuring I got exactly what I wanted.

The renovation began in a timely fashion and Felipe who did 90% of the work, was exceedingly competent in all aspects. He was extremely personable and polite, and ensured the kept other areas of the house clean.

Ryan was also there every day to follow up on the progress and discuss any needed or wanted alterations. His communications were outstanding and not limited to the usual

9-5.

The job was completed within the estimated time frame, despite complications with plumbing (not their fault!) and I couldn’t be happier with the completed outcome.

It’s beautiful and I am completely satisfied.

I would highly recommend Ryan and Organic Handyman for any household requirements.

Ryan and his team were a pleasure to work with for a complex century heritage Wortley home renovation in late 2020. The kitchen was renovated with salvage and re-painting of a number of the existing cabinets, opening up a wall, and relocation of a laundry unit to the upper floors. The basement was also fully refinished with the addition of a bathroom. Ryan and his team were trustworthy, and the project stayed within budget and was completed fairly quickly despite the constraints of COVID. In speaking to friends, I believe the Organic Handyman team provided great value and fair pricing. I also appreciated that they were willing to listen to my vision of how I wanted things to look, and were able to make this a reality.

Ryan was on site to supervise and follow the progress of work most days, and communicated to find out preferences about finishes as we went along. His team of workers were good natured and friendly. After the kitchen work was completed, there was an issue with the new refrigerator water line and Ryan responded quickly to come back and fix the issue. I subsequently went back to their team for a basement renovation. Overall, I'm quite pleased with how the work was done and get lots of compliments from visitors. Based on this experience I would highly recommend them for home renovation projects.

My wife and I were extremely impressed with the outstanding work of Ryan and The Organic Handyman team. Ryan was very punctual and really went above and beyond to ensure that our projects were completed on time. We replaced all of the flooring on our first floor and are thrilled with the results- our home is completely transformed! We also needed numerous smaller projects done throughout the house and Ryan was able to offer his expertise and make suggestions along the way. Ryan has great communication skills and kept us updated on his progress daily. Ryan is very talented and his attention to detail really sets him apart from other contractors. We would highly recommend The Organic Handyman and are already planning our next home renovation project with Ryan!

Ryan first came to visit my home with a noise issue that I had because of the copper pipes from my house. He worked with me to come up with a plan and provided me with an estimate. A spot in his schedule opened up and he reached out so work could begin earlier than anticipated.

Him and his team did an excellent job with replacing the water pipes that run from the basement to the kitchen with PEX. This is especially true as it is a finished basement and they had to track where the pipes went without having to open holes everywhere. The pipes were also soundproofed and an additional drywall was added to the basement bedroom.

His team was professional and courteous and went the extra mile to make sure the requirements were completed. I would recommend Ryan to anyone and look forward to working with him for future renovations in my home.

Needed to have a 20 ft vaulted ceiling painted in our living room/dining room and stairway, a difficult and time consuming job. Ryan’s crew did an excellent job, worked long hours. Floors and carpets and other belongings were well protected and this took much time and effort by them . Ryan always available for questions They were polite and respectful and a pleasure to have do the job. Clean up was well done and rooms look excellent. Would recommend Ryan and his team to anyone!

We are so pleased with the work Ryan and his team did for us. The quality of work is great. What impressed us most about Ryan and all of his team was how hard they worked. How understanding they were to our need of having the work completed in such a restricted time frame. We have two dogs which we needed to keep in our home while this work was being completed, and all the workers were mindful of the safety of our dogs.

We can not speak highly enough of Ryan and how he helped make our home comfortable and safe for an elderly family member.

And it was our added projects or last minute changes that caused our budget not being perfect

Thank you Ryan.

We recently had our fireplace repaired by Luis and Richy of Ryan Talbot's The Organic Handyman. Some of the covering on the fireplace surround had come off and it was very difficult to find someone to fix it - after searching for six months and being refused by so many other contractors we were directed toward the Trusted Pros website where we found Ryan's company. We were extremely pleased with the work that was done - it was timely, professional, and very well done. We would highly recommend The Organic Handyman.

I had three contractors out to look at a reno I wanted done on my home.

I chose Ryan from Organic Handyman as I liked the way he listened to me and his responses when I asked questions. He was quick to send an itemized quote for all the work.

If there were questions Ryan was quick to respond to emails and calls.

I had my tile floor removed and replaced from my front hall through kitchen, dining and laundry rooms. In the family room I had the popcorn ceiling removed, a new wood floor installed and a load bearing wall removed. I also had it painted.

The job looked great when it was all completed. I was happy with it.

A couple of the workers were not the tidiest but Ryan soon had that sorted out.

Would I recommend Organic Handyman? Yes.

Would I hire them again for future jobs? Yes.

We hired The Organic Handyman (Ryan Talbot) for basement finishing of our newly purchased home. Being a brand new home, we were looking for a top rated contractor who could help to complete our basement with the same quality, look and feel of the top floors. We eventually hired Ryan based on TrustedPros rating and reviews. We were not disappointed as Ryan did an awesome job. Commencing from the initial contact, to reviewing our design, making useful suggestions, to estimation, negotiation, firming up the contract and completing the work, Ryan showed great professionalism and completed the job on schedule. We had a few changes along the line and he was patient to accommodate and was transparent on any additional cost. We do not have any hesitation to recommend Ryan for his delivery quality, professionalism and responsiveness. If there is anything to improve, will be to improve cleaning up after the project.
