Hire a Professional Handyman

Professional Handyman

I was at a clients house last week providing my regular Professional Handyman service when my client told me that one of the three light switches at the bottom of the stairs did not do anything. I removed the face plate and found that it was a three way switch but there were no wires connected to the switch. In fact there were no wires to connect to the switch. I then removed the face plate at the top of the stairs and it was a regular two way switch and just regular 14-2 wire. There was no 14-3 wire which is required for a three way switch. The switches at the top and bottom of the stairs had never been wired for three way switches.

I then I lifted one panels for the suspended ceiling and found a junction box with too many wires in it and no cover plate on the box. The reason there was no cover plate was because they could not stuff that many wires in the box to get the cover plate on. There was also white wires twisted together with no wire nut and some of the ground wires were not attached.

My client needed to hire an electrician to check out his whole house to make sure it is safe and to fix all the problems. The house is less than ten years old so it has been like this since the house was built.

I am amazed at how many houses I am in that have electrical problems. Electrical problems are one of the major causes of house fires. As a professional handyman I will tell you if I find something that is not right and will advise you to hire a certified electrician.

It is a wise investment to hire a ACHP Certified Professional Handyman to be sure you will get your jobs done right a professional handyman who knows what he is doing and can spot problems before they become major problems.

About the Author: Stan The Ancaster Handyman

My name is Stanley McCall. I was born in Scotland and came to Canada when 11 years old. Growing up in Brantford my mother instilled in me the importance of having a career. I decided after working my summers in factories that I would rather work with my mind than labour in factories all my life. Because of that decision, I went to Mohawk College to get a career in Mechanical Design Drafting. I found that I have a skill for understanding design issues and designing solutions in my mind then conveying that on paper so that it could be built. Throughout my career, I have designed food processing equipment, case packaging equipment, paper mills, sawmills, printing presses and steel mill equipment. I ended my career working for a global consulting engineering company checking the designs and drawings of junior engineers who had engineering degrees but no experience conveying their designs on paper so that it could be built. While I was pursuing my career I raised a family, renovated three houses and did over 20 years of volunteer work as a director in charge of the maintenance of Mount Forest Camp. Unable to retire to a rocking chair in 2014 I started my business as The Ancaster Handyman. Many people have said to me that it is hard to find a good handyman. I decided that I would be a good handyman and that it would be easy to find me and know that you have found a good handyman. To accomplish this I would have to be a good handyman, get lots of reviews and testimonials in as many places as possible on the internet so that no matter where people found me on the internet they would know that they have found a good handyman. Someone with integrity who they could trust to do a good job and could rely on to give them sound advice. Proof that I have accomplished this is seen in the fact that I have been recognized by Trusted Pros to be the best handyman in Ancaster for three years now. I am also a lifetime member of ACHP (The Association of Certified Handyman Professionals". I am Ancaster's only Certified Profesional Handyman. To be a member of ACHP you have to be committed to running an ethical business. If I say I can do a job you can trust me to do a good job. If I didn't feel I could do a good job I would refer you to someone else. If you want a cover-up job so that you can sell your house you have found the wrong handyman. I do not do cover-up jobs. My reputation and membership in ACHP is too important to risk over making a quick buck.
