    Additional business information

    Additional Info:

    On March 26, 2024, BBB Serving the Atlantic Provinces sent a letter to Buck And Mel's Handyman Services to their email address indicated on the invoice issued by the business.

    Receiving no response, BBB sent a second email on April 9, 2024.

    The letters were prompted by a recent complaint to which BBB received no response, as well as several phone inquires by consumers. 

    Consumers report:

    1. Demanding additional funds above the agreed amount for a particular project.

    2. Threatening to leave the project if additional money demanded is not paid to the business.


    BBB recommends that consumers check with BBB.org to research reputable handyman businesses in your area.


    When it comes to hiring a professional, you should always get multiple estimates from different companies. Look for businesses that specifically offer the type of service you require. Contact the business and ask about their services and ask for references. Request quotes, ask about service-call fees, guarantees, payment options, and itemized invoices. The more advance research you do the less possibility of encountering future problems.

    #1: Online Research
    It is always a better idea to conduct a deep research when it comes to hiring a professional for handyman services. You need to find out what their varied services are and also what other people are saying about their provision of services.

    #2: Ask For References
    Word of mouth is considered to be one of the best places to start looking for a company that offers appliance repair services. You need to ask the company to provide you with a list of reference to their recent customers.
    If a company is hesitant to provide you with the list of reference, think of it as a red flag and move on to the next company.


    #3: Get Multiple Estimates

    You should never settle for the first company that you see. Being hasty in making a decision is highly not recommended.
    When it comes to hiring a professional, you should always get multiple estimates from different companies. This will help you in determining the average cost of the project.

    Myself- ***** *ailiff. 14 Copp St, Dieppe, N* E1A2H1 Contact- 437-242-4208/ [email protected] My Contractor- *ruce & Mel Contact -************ *uckand*************** Decem*er 15th is when I was provided the quote for $34000 for *asement Renovation (I have attached the quote provided along with the *reakdown eg- Plum*ing-$5000 , etc.) Plus, an addition of $2300 for a new side entrance door (included in the quote). Plus an additional $600 for moving the water tank (seen in the messages with him,as this was added as an additional charge afterwards), Plus an additional $665 for leveling the floor in the kitchen (also in the messages, as it was added later). We *elieve the last two charges of $600 and $665 should have *een part of the *asement quote *ut they claim that they were missed out. All this adds up to a total *udget of $37,565. And to make sure we were running on our *udget, it was checked every week as the money was paid to him & I have the messages for the same as well. Every time I would send money, I would send a text saying eg- $500 sent & $1214 remaining for the total amount. etc. Now when I have paid all the amount to my contractor with around $1000 remaining to *e sent, my contractor sends me an email on 1st March that he will need another $8,500 on top of it as they have all of a sudden ran out of money & that they cannot proceed without it. In this email he said he would complete the drywall work and the paint of the wall, *ut he has not done that either. Everything remaining was already *udgeted & is presently paid for including all his la*or charges for the entire project. 1st of march in the evening I let them know in person that I cannot afford another $8500 & was asked to pray to god for a miracle & on Tuesday(5th March) they return saying they will try to get the project done & leave again in the afternoon making excuses that they again don’t have any money on them. The renovation *egan on 17th Dec2023 & was supposed to take 5 weeks
