Handyman in Brooklin, Ontario

Not that long ago Brooklin was a quiet hamlet north of Whitby. Now it's one of the fastest-growing communities in Durham. The subdivisions heading north and east have brought in thousands of young families, and their homes are modern but not always finished the way the owners want.

A lot of our work as a handyman in Brooklin comes down to that gap. Closets are builder-grade, the lighting is basic, the new lots are tight and need fences between them, and the decks were built to code but not built to last.

The old village core along Baldwin Street is a different job altogether. Those heritage homes have original woodwork, older plumbing and, often enough, a backlog of maintenance.
