Posted on Kristen Hyndman-WhittierTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Trace is wonderful! He completed several wall repairs and painting projects for us. He also replaced a window casing piece and created a custom outlet cover, and we were very pleased with the results. He was communicative, patient with my many requests (and multiple cans of paint!), and paid close attention to detail. He also offered thoughtful suggestions, like caulking between walls and baseboards for a smooth, clean finish. His pricing was fair, and he left the space tidy. I highly recommend Trace. Thank you!!!Posted on Crystel ParentTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The work Tracy did was excellent and reasonably priced. We had all kinds of repairs to do (scratch repairs, filling holes in walls, caulking, etc) and he did a really great job. We are happy with the results and will not hesitate to contact him again in the future!Posted on Rhéna CôtéTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am happy with his service (the job was to hang heavy frame) and he was nice enough to do an additional think I have asked him to do. I truly recommend him.Posted on Gaetan BelairTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Trace a effectué quelques travaux à l'intérieur et extérieur de ma maison en novembre et décembre 2025. Je suis très satisfait de son travail et de son professionalisme. Je le recommende sans aucune hésitation.Posted on David WhittakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In December 2025, we engaged Tracy Smith (South Shore Handy Man Inc) to perform the following activities at our home: 1) Dry wall report (job botched by previous Handyman whom we had to fire). 2) Paining of entire basement (ceiling and wall). 3) Paining and patching of stairwell leading upstairs from basement. The estimated price-point was competitive. Tracy was amazingly professional, deliberate, diligent, clean and thorough. The work was done on-time (as estimated). We are very satisfied with the outcome. We are also impressed with the fact that Tracy brought to our attention some drywall repair anomalies delivered by the previous handyman. although it cost us a bit more money, we were delighted that Tracy made us aware of the issue. We are happy to found Tracy Smith and have already recommended him to others. We would hire Tracy again with any hesitation, of course.Posted on Léo ChiolaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely professional and fair rates... I will definitely ask the help of Tracy again!Posted on Bao PhanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Trace to repaint our bathroom ceiling, because the paint was peeling off. Very happy with how efficient he was and the quality of his work. He also kept me up-to-date on his ETA, which was greatly appreciated.Posted on Christophe LepigeonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons fait appel aux services de Trace pour la réparation de notre terrasse. Trace a accompli un travail très minutieux et nous a proposé plusieurs solutions judicieuses. Nous sommes très satisfaits de son travail et recommandons ses services sans hésitation!Posted on Linda LulicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. South Shore Handyman is a pleasure to work with. He arrives on time, does excellent work and cleans up before he leaves. Very highly recommended!Posted on Melissa DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. Smith is a very professional contractor. We needed a deck extension to new pool as well as a fence on deck with gate - to comply with Provincial law. Also, possible reinforcement under the deck. Mr. Smith went above and beyond the call to create a beautiful extension (little step) and built a fence/gate (from scratch) - his work is truly exceptional! He also discovered that the deck was lower in one area and replaced an existing post - to stabilize the whole deck. We are very happy with the work he did - and highly recommend him! Thank you Mr. Smith!Load more
