Home Maintenance in Ajax, ON
Small fixes before big bills.
If you own a rental in Ajax, or a few of them, maintenance requests don't wait for a free weekend. We do home maintenance in Ajax for landlords and property managers, and for owners who'd rather keep up with small jobs than pay for big ones later. Pedro spent 15 years as a Home Inspector, so a maintenance visit comes with a trained eye on the things that usually get missed.
Keeping Ajax Rentals and Family Homes Running
Landlords across Ajax use us for rental property maintenance and turnover work. A half-day visit of 3 to 4 hours might cover a torn screen, a door that won't latch, worn weatherstripping, a furnace filter and a smoke and CO detector check, and it usually costs $200 to $350. For a longer list or a bigger property, a full day runs $400 to $600.
Owner-occupied houses in Ajax are mostly at the age where original materials start wearing out together. Weatherstripping on the front door flattens, the exterior caulking around windows dries and cracks, and hinges loosen on doors that get slammed every day. None of it shows up all at once, which is why a walkthrough helps. We go room by room, then outside, and sort what we find into urgent, soon and can wait.
Ajax is about half an hour from our Bowmanville base along the 401, and there's no travel fee. That makes seasonal home maintenance easy to schedule: one in spring for screens, eaves troughs and a look at the deck, and one in fall for weatherstripping and caulking before the cold sets in. A lot of our clients just keep a standing visit each season.
Pedro handles seasonal upkeep and preventative maintenance. For how he approaches home maintenance in general, see our home maintenance page.
How home maintenance works

We go through the house inside and out and note what needs attention now, what can wait, and what's fine as it is.

If you want ongoing maintenance, we suggest seasonal check-ins, at least once in spring and once in fall.
Home Maintenance cost in Ajax
A half-day maintenance visit (3 to 4 hours) covering a bunch of small jobs usually costs $200 to $350.
A full day, for bigger properties or longer lists, runs $400 to $600.
Regular maintenance almost always costs less than waiting for something to break and paying for an emergency repair.
Every job gets a free written estimate first, so the price is settled before work starts.

Home Maintenance in Ajax: FAQ
Do you offer home maintenance in Ajax?
Yes. Ajax is part of our Durham Region service area, and we work there from our base in Bowmanville. Call or text (289) 928-5689, or request a free estimate online.
I manage several rental townhouses in Ajax. Can you handle maintenance for all of them in one visit?
Often, yes, if they're close together. Send us the list for each unit and we'll group the work and put anything urgent, like a leak or a lock that won't catch, at the top. You'll need to arrange tenant access for each unit. When we're done you'll know what was fixed and what still needs attention, unit by unit, which makes budgeting for the next round easier.
What should I check around my Ajax house before the first hard frost?
Shut off and drain the outdoor taps, disconnect the hoses, and clear the eaves troughs once most of the leaves are down. Look at the weatherstripping on exterior doors and the caulking around windows, and make sure the dryer vent flap closes properly. Test the smoke and CO detectors while you're at it. If you'd rather not do it yourself, we can cover all of it in one fall visit.
