Handyman in Laurelwood
Handyman work for Laurelwood and Columbia Forest, the family neighbourhoods on Waterloo's west side between Fischer-Hallman, Erb and Columbia.
Laurelwood and neighbouring Columbia Forest were built through the late 1990s and 2000s on the west side of Waterloo, west of Fischer-Hallman and north of Erb, and they are now at the age where the house is out of warranty, the builder's fence and deck are twenty years old, and the family that moved in with toddlers has teenagers. The list reflects that. Doors that settled years ago and rub at the top corner. Nail pops that were never fixed. Closet systems and garage shelving that have pulled out of the drywall under the weight of a growing household. Bifold doors off their tracks. Towel bars and toilet-paper holders that need re-anchoring. TVs to be mounted in the basement rec room and the primary bedroom. Pressure-treated decks with cupped boards and railings that have worked loose; cedar and pressure-treated fences with a leaning panel where a post has heaved in the clay. Caulking split at the tubs and the window trim. Weatherstripping gone from the garage-to-house door. Most of it is half-day work, and doing the whole list in one visit is far cheaper than five separate calls. Laurelwood is inside Waterloo, so there is no travel charge, and a few homes near the Laurel Creek and the conservation area edge have the extra outdoor list of gates and shed doors that come with a bigger lot.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge more for St. Jacobs, Elmira or Kitchener?
Travel inside the Region is built into the quote from the start rather than added afterwards, so the number you agree to is the number. For a very small single job well outside Waterloo it can make sense to wait until there are two or three items, and you will be told that.
Can you do a job in a condo building uptown?
Yes. Condo work means booking the service elevator where one is needed, working inside the building's noise hours, and knowing whether the wall is drywall, steel stud or concrete before mounting anything. It also means staying on the right side of the line: fixture swaps and surface work are fine, but the pipes and wiring inside the walls are shared systems and belong to a licensed trade and the property manager.
