Home Repairs in Ajax, ON
Fixed at the cause.
Most of Ajax went up from the 1990s on, so a lot of the original builder-grade parts in these houses are reaching the end of their run. Hollow-core doors get punched through, hinges sag and drywall corners collect dents from years of moving furniture. We take on home repairs in Ajax for owners of detached houses, semis and townhouses. Pedro checks why something failed before he fixes it, so the same repair doesn't come back next year.
Builder-Grade Parts Wearing Out in Ajax Homes
Builder-grade finishes are picked to get a house built and sold on schedule. In an Ajax house from the 1990s or 2000s, that shows up as interior doors that won't latch, bifold closet doors jumping their tracks, towel bars pulling out of the drywall and baseboards opening at the corners. None of it is serious on day one. Left alone, a loose towel bar becomes a torn-out patch of wall and a sticking door becomes a split jamb.
Townhouses and semis add their own twist. Repairs on a shared wall take more care, since anything loud on your side carries next door, so we plan the noisy part of the job for reasonable hours. Stairs take most of the daily wear in a townhouse, and loose railings, squeaky treads and scuffed stringers tend to show up there first.
Rental owners across Ajax also call us for house repairs between tenants. That usually means patching anchor holes, rehanging a door, swapping a broken fixture and fixing whatever the last tenant never reported. Small repairs like a drywall patch or a door fix usually run $75 to $200. Water-damaged drywall, a soft spot in the subfloor or a window replacement tends to fall between $200 and $600. Either way, you see the number in writing first.
Pedro handles drywall, door, fixture and water damage repairs. For how he approaches home repairs in general, see our home repairs page.

The hollow-core doors in my Ajax house are dented and one has a hole in it. Can you patch them, or should they be replaced?
Small dents and holes in a hollow-core door can be filled, sanded and painted, and they'll look fine from a few feet away. A panel that's been punched right through is usually cheaper to replace than to rebuild, since the slab itself doesn't cost much. We can hang a new slab in the existing frame, or put in a pre-hung unit if the jamb is damaged too.
I'm getting ready to sell my Ajax townhouse. Which small repairs are worth doing before it's listed?
Fix what a buyer or their inspector will notice on the first walk-through: doors that stick or won't latch, loose railings, dented drywall, dripping taps and cracked caulking. Pedro's inspection years taught him exactly what tends to end up in a report. We can walk the house with you and give you a written list with a price for each item.
