Ricardo installed some light fixtures and a ceiling fan for me. I am completely impressed with the work, the timeliness and the cost of this project! !
Ricardo communicated with me via email, and was more than willing to accommodate my work schedule. This was tremendously helpful and reassuring, as I had been waiting a long time for a different person to do this (who left me hanging three times).
I had been nervous about the cost of this project, as I am unable to do any of it myself. Ricardo came through with a perfect price. I would recommend Silver Lining to anyone who asks!! Thank you!

I am very pleased with the work Ricardo did on the floor of my powder room. Prior to the repairs, the floor had no barrier to prevent water from passing through the floor into the basement, which is what happened when the toilet was flushed, as well as the wood around the base of the toilet was rotten causing the toilet to leak when it was flushed. Ricardo removed the old floor and baseboards, placed the protective barrier, sealed the base of the toilet, placed new tiles and baseboards. Everything is in top shape and the room is fresh and modern, just the way it is supposed to be. Awesome job! More...

Our first time having the pleasure of Ricardo doing some repairs and minor installations that we, as seniors, are no longer capable of. From the initial call, it was obvious that we were dealing with professional, pleasant people. Claudia was helpful and friendly on the phone, Ricardo showed up promptly for a look and to give us a quote, and then followed up exactly as he promised. The work was done quickly and efficiently. The pricing was very reasonable and we enjoyed his company. I'm thrilled with the results and recommend him highly.We now have a bigger job for Ricardo coming up and hope to employ him as needed long into the future (such as it is for seniors ;) ). Thanks so much, Ricardo, and hope to see you soon. More...

Ricardo is the best experience I have had with a Handyman / General Contractor. He responds fast, shows up when he says he will, keeps communication open, incredibly dependable, quality work, clean & tidy, and yes, very affordable. I love this guy's whole overall business ethic. He is my first go-to; and, i will refer him to my clients. As a Realtor, having Ricardo work on projects, makes me shine, i like that.

This is the 3rd time I have called Silver linings and I am always amazed at what Ricardo can do. In my old house I had several repairs that others had tried to do (window's that were badly worn but we did not want to replace, etc) and Ricardo figured out a way for us to get things working again so that we could sell the house. In my new home I had him come by a couple of times, and just today he fixed a desk that was "beyond repair" but I didn't want to part with it because it was a part of a set. He re-engineered the work and it came back looking like new again. I would trust him with any job, carpentry, painting, fixing just about anything that is broken! He is always on time and on budget. There are never any surprises. More...

I am so grateful to Ricardo! He managed to fix about a years worth of home repair issues in under 5 hours. He did everything from plumbing, to electrical, to installing very tricky ceiling fans with no issues. Booking an appointment was very easy through Claudia - she managed to accommodate my schedule and Ricardo was at our home in just a couple of days. Ricardo arrived right on time, ran through the list of projects with me and was quick to get to work. After a few hours at our house, I started to remember other small jobs that he could help with and he fit them in during the same visit. He even went out on his own lunch break to get some parts that were needed for my last minute job requests. Ric was very professional, tidy, conscientious and honest about the scope of the work. I was amazed at how low my invoice was at the end of his work day. I'm already putting together a list of things we need Ric to fix in the Fall and am looking forward to working with Silver Lining Handywork again! FYI - he is capable of much more than just household repairs and we will be using him for larger home renovations in the near future. More...

Our Kitchen renovation was left unfinished by another contractor. We had several handymen look at the unfinished work and they would promise to estimate and complete the work over a weekend. But none of them returned.
We lost hope that this work would ever get finished. Ricardo returned as promised and he gave us an honest estimate and completed the work on time even though there were some challenges and he kept the bill close to the estimate.
He laid floor tiles in the unfinished pantry area and powder room. He picked up the kitchen back splash work from a very sad state and gave it a neat finish.
He came up with suggestions for minor improvements and accommodated all our requests.
He was always on time and he didn't mind running to the store quite a few times. After all the amazing work, he was not even behind us for the payment which is totally unlike other contractors. We recommend him and we will go back to him in future. We are very grateful for his dedication.
Thank you Ricardo for the excellent work !

Ricardo did excellent work in my house as I prepped it for selling. He repainted my kitchen, bathrooms and hallways and they looked like brand new. He also replaced the caulking in my kitchen and bathrooms, replaced the ceiling tiles in the basement - and even changed a few lightbulbs (which was helpful since I'm so short - thanks Ricardo!) He definitely went above and beyond. Very professional and honest, and worked with me to figure out what would show best aesthetically for resale.

We were left with about a dozen small holes after removing track lighting fixtures in 2 rooms with "popcorn" ceilings. Ricardo matched the colour and texture so perfectly that no one would know the holes ever existed. We purchased and assembled cabinets from Ikea to mount on the wall of a home office but because they were so heavy we weren't able to finish the job ourselves. Ricardo mounted the last (and highest!) cabinet for us and installed the hinges, doors and doorstops on all the cabinets (including the ones we'd mounted). Because we wanted the whole thing to look built-in, we also purchased a very narrow shelving unit to fill the gap between the side of the cabinets and the wall but it was not narrow enough to fit the space. Ricardo took it home so he could use his table saw, took it apart, narrowed every piece, put it back together and it fits perfectly. All of this work was completed in 1 day and for exactly the amount originally quoted.I would definitely use his company again and have already recommended him to others. More...

I'm SO glad to have come across Silver Lining through Homestars! We wanted curtain rods attached to our bulkhead which needed carefully attention so the duct work behind it was not touched/punctured. After calling many so called "pros" and even having a few come into our house, Ricardo saved the day. He was prompt, knew exactly what I wanted done and attached our double curtain rods without any issue. Once he completed hanging the curtain and I realised how well he did the job I asked him to add a large photo in our dining room along with 2 vanity mirrors. The jobs were flawless and it was a pleasure having Ricardo do the work for us for a very fair price. Will definitely call him back when we need some more small work done around the house. More...
