Handy Man Services

Welcome to the Handy Man Services.

First of all, I would like to give you some background.

I am a licensed Realtor since 1973, and Broker since 1986. In the fall of 2006, I had a call from one of my real estate clients asking me if I knew of anyone that could help co-ordinate some contractors at one of his investment properties–he was tied up in some meetings and couldn’t be there.. Always willing to help out, I volunteered.

It was on a Friday afternoon and all the work was completed about 4:30–great ! My final task was to see that everything was locked up, but first I thought–maybe I should check to see if there was any water- no water !!-but a quick trip to the basement and a crawl to the front of the house and I found the tap that the contractors forget to turn on !

The next month, the same client called asking about having some trees removed, and others trimmed up….. and the Handy Man was born . In 2007 I applied for and received a Master Business Licence and the Handy Man was then registered with the province of Ontario.

Since then, I have been privileged to assist homeowners and investors alike from ‘basements to roofs’ and almost everything in between. On occasion there has been home inspections ( on the sale of real Estate ) that required some minor remedial work that I was able to do to help close sales.

A point form of some of my business practices are;

I am H.S.T. registered and provide written itemized receipts and invoices
photos ( usually emailed ) of tasks–before and after–if requested
will pick up all supplies and return what is left and credit the client
will discuss and help plan priorities of tasks
scheduled maintenance plans available
site clean up upon completion
fully equipped mobile service vehicle
labor guaranteed for two years ( roofs are five years ), materials are guaranteed by manufacturer

And stay tuned–I hope to add ‘before and after’ pictures in the near future.
