General Handyman Services & Odd Jobs in Durham Region
Hand over the to-do list.
Got a to-do list that keeps growing? Hand it over and we'll work through it so you don't have to.
What we offer
Most houses have a running list of small jobs. A shelf that never got hung, a door that sticks, the bathroom tap that's been dripping since November. None of it is an emergency, but it adds up, and the longer it sits the more it gets on your nerves.
Handy Man And Home Repairs takes care of those odd jobs, small fixes and general maintenance tasks with one call, so you don't need a different person for each one. Pedro has 16 years of construction experience and spent 15 years as a Home Inspector. He brings both to a loose cabinet hinge the same way he would to a bigger job.
If the list on your fridge keeps getting longer, take a picture of it and send it to us. Our handyman service covers Durham Region, Kawartha Lakes and Northumberland County.
Our process
Send us your list
Call us or send it over. Photos help, and the more detail you give us, the closer the estimate will be.
Get a written quote
You'll see what each task costs and about how long it should take. Real numbers, not a vague range.
We work through the list
Pedro starts with whatever matters most to you and works down from there. Most lists are done in one visit.
Walk-through and cleanup
Before packing up, Pedro shows you what was done. We clean up after ourselves, and the place should look better than when we got there.
Cost & pricing guide
In Ontario, handyman rates usually land somewhere between $50 and $85 an hour. Where a job falls in that range depends on how complicated it is and what materials it needs.
You get a written estimate before we start, and the estimate is free. If a job goes quicker than we figured, you pay for the time it actually took, not the time we quoted.
Materials are passed through at what we pay for them, with no markup. You're also welcome to buy your own.
Why choose us
- One call covers it. You don't have to line up three different people for three small jobs.
- A Home Inspector's eye. After 15 years of home inspections, Pedro often spots problems you didn't know you had.
- Honest pricing. We quote what the job really costs. One client saved 90% compared to a contractor's quote for the same repair.
- Quick turnaround. Most handyman jobs take a few hours and get finished the same day.
General Handyman Services: FAQ
What does a handyman actually do?
A handyman takes care of all kinds of home repair and maintenance work. For us that means mounting TVs, patching drywall, replacing fixtures, assembling furniture, fixing doors and windows, putting up shelving, and getting through whatever else is on your household to-do list.
How much does a handyman charge in Ontario?
Usually $50 to $85 an hour in Ontario, depending on the job and where you live. Some tasks make more sense priced per job instead of by the hour. Either way, you get a free written estimate before any work starts.
Can you do several jobs in one visit?
Yes, and it's one of the things people ask us for most. Give us the whole list and we'll get through it in a single visit.
Do you bring your own tools and materials?
Yes, we show up with a fully stocked van. If a job needs something specialized, we'll sort it out with you ahead of time. Either we pick it up, or we tell you exactly what to grab.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Bowmanville and cover all of Durham Region, Kawartha Lakes and Northumberland County.
