Our team has got the inside track on keeping homes in this neck of the Ottawa River valley running smoothly - and we're here to lend a hand when you need us.

What sets our handyman services apart is that we have qualified professionals who are experts at bundling all those little jobs into one visit. Well, for starters, we're experts at bundling all those little jobs into one visit, so you don't have to chase after half a dozen different trades, which means drywall patches, leaky taps, squeaky doors, broken light fixtures, stuck windows, and all the rest - all taken care of in one trip. That means less waiting around for our guys to show up, less hassle coordinating schedules, and way more value for your buck.

We're quick to get back to folks in Gatineau, usually booking within a few business days for routine work in 2024-2025. Last summer, we helped a family near Parc de la Gatineau get their place sorted with drywall repair, paint touch-ups, and a faucet replacement - all done in one super-efficient day. That kind of quality bundled service for small home repairs is exactly what busy Gatineau homeowners need.

Why Homeowners in Gatineau Trust Our Handyman Team

We know our stuff about Gatineau - from the heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles that crack foundations and shift door frames, to the Ottawa River humidity that wreaks havoc on decks, caulking, and windows. When you're looking for a reliable contractor for home services, including carpentry and Gatineau handyman services, you need someone with the expertise to understand how Quebec's climate creates specific issues that people in other parts of the country don't have to deal with.

We take reliability really seriously. We show up when we say we will, and if traffic on Autoroute 50 or the weather throws us a curveball, you'll get a call, text, or email update straight away. No, wondering if we've forgotten about you. Good communication and quality service are key to how we work - you'll always know what's happening with your project.

Our pricing is up-front and honest - you get written quotes before any work starts, with a clear breakdown of labor costs versus materials. There are no surprise add-ons when the job is done - what we quote is what you pay. Every one of our qualified pros works with precision, is background-checked, and fully insured for residential work in Quebec, so you can rest easy knowing who's in your home. In early 2024, we helped get a condo near Promenades Gatineau ready to sell by performing drywall repairs, paint touch-ups, and installing bathroom fixtures with the right tools - all in one visit. That kind of quality workmanship is what keeps our clients coming back.

Featured Handyman Services in Gatineau

Our handyman services focus on small to medium jobs inside condos, townhouses, and single-family homes throughout Gatineau. We've built our rep on tackling the practical repairs that knowledgeable professionals make daily life easier - not on major construction projects.

This is a rundown of our most popular services, tailored to the specific needs of homes in this region - interior repairs like drywall and painting, kitchen and bathroom fixes, small electrical work and plumbing tasks, plus exterior and seasonal maintenance. Whether you're in a 1970s bungalow in Hull or a newer build in Aylmer, we've got the expertise to help. We want to pack a punch with a "to-do list" of 5-10 small tasks into a half-day or full-day visit, if we can, which makes us perfect for busy families and landlords who need help fast. We're not the ones for major overhaul jobs or gut renovations - those usually require specialized contractors, while our hard-working team focuses on practical maintenance. But we're on hand for the kind of practical maintenance and light improvements that keep your house feeling comfortable and functional.

Drywall Repair & Painting Touch-Ups

Gatineau homes - especially those older ones in Hull and the mid-2000s builds in Aylmer - are going to develop cracks, nail pops & dents over time as they settle into that Quebec soil. It's just the norm after a few decades of those freeze-thaw cycles, and proper carpentry can help address these issues. And then there are all the holes left from old TV mounts, door handle impacts, and shelving projects.

We'll sort out your drywall repairs - from teeny-tiny screw holes to bigger openings - including damaged corners, stairwell cracks & ceiling patches. We take the time with the right tools to match the existing textures, whether your walls are smooth or feature that light orange-peel finish. So the repair just blends right into the surrounding surface. Plus, we can repaint the patched areas, match colours in the hallways & living rooms, and tidy up your baseboards and trim.

A couple of years ago, in the spring of 2023, we fixed a set of stairwell cracks and gave a 1998 townhouse near Parc Jacques-Cartier a fresh coat of paint right before new tenants were due to move in. That level of detail really made a difference in how the space looked and felt to people who decided to walk through.

Kitchen Repairs & Minor Updates

Most of the Gatineau families we work with don't need a whole new kitchen - they just want their cabinets, drawers, and fixtures to work properly. That's where we take pride in our work as a reliable contractor: focusing on the practical improvements that committed homeowners want to make, so cooking and cleaning are easier for you.

Typical kitchen jobs we do include getting sagging cabinet doors back on track, replacing those old, worn-out drawer slides so they glide smoothly, installing new handles and hardware for a fresh look, swapping out old taps for more modern ones, & re-caulking around the sink and backsplash to prevent water damage from building up. We can also patch small areas of drywall behind removed shelves or old phone nooks and give those spots a fresh coat of paint for a clean, updated look.

In 2023, we helped a family near Boulevard des Allumettières by fixing three cabinet doors, replacing a pull-down tap, and putting new hardware on all the cabinets as part of our installation service in just one afternoon. That kind of bundled work we offer saves you time and creates a noticeable improvement in how your kitchen looks and functions.

Bathroom Fixes & Minor Plumbing

We handle non-structural handyman bathroom work to keep your space looking its best and working properly. This includes re-caulking tubs & showers after all the years of heavy use, re-grouting problem tiles around tubs and in shower stalls, swapping out leaky taps and showerheads, and installing new toilets when the old ones are getting on a bit.

We don't do full gut renovations or move plumbing lines - that's the kind of work that needs specialized contractors. But we can refresh your bathroom, stop small leaks, and update fixtures without breaking the bank or causing a major disturbance. We work carefully and thoroughly: we switch off the water, replace the fixture, do a leak test after installation, and clean up any excess silicone and debris before we leave.

Early in 2024, we updated a bathroom in a 2012 condo near Plateau by replacing an older toilet with a low-flow model and re-caulking the shower. Little jobs like that can make a big difference in water efficiency and prevent bigger issues down the road.

Doors, Hardware & Everyday Annoyances

It's these little niggly issues that are often the top reason we get called out in Gatineau. After a long winter in Quebec, doors often rub against the floor or won't latch properly. Humidity shifts cause frames to swell and shrink, and exterior doors may need some fresh weatherstripping—don't hesitate to call us—to cut down drafts and make the place more energy efficient. You can trust our expertise.

Door and hardware tasks we regularly do as your handyman include trimming interior doors that are sticking or dragging, adjusting latches and strikes for proper closing, installing new knobs and deadbolts for better security, installing curtain rods and blinds, mounting closet organizers, and securely anchoring heavy mirrors, shelving & TVs to the studs. And that one is especially important in kids' rooms and rental units where safety matters - we bring the right tools and fasteners so everything stays put.

A lot of our clients like to do a 'door and hardware tune-up' where we go room to room fixing squeaks, misaligned latches, and loose handles in a single visit. It's absolutely a quick way to knock out those daily frustrations you've learned to live with, thanks to our commitment to good communication.

Minor Electrical Fixtures & Small Plumbing Jobs

We take on small, non-permit electrical and plumbing work - the kind of tasks that don't need major modifications but still need to be done right. If we come across anything involving the electrical panel, rewiring, or significant plumbing changes, we'll give you the honest truth and recommend you hire a licensed electrician or plumber. What we can handle includes replacing old light fixtures with shiny new ones, putting in LED flush mounts where wiring is already in place, swapping out those pesky old switches and dimmer switches, changing out bathroom fans that are still working off existing wiring, replacing kitchen and bathroom faucets, and changing out those pesky shutoff valves that are accessible - all without the expense and hassle of major overhauls. These are the practical upgrades that landlords and homeowners need to stay on top of things, without breaking the bank.

Our safety standards are non-negotiable, and we're not going to budge on them. We shut off the power at the breaker box, hook up the tester to make sure everything is dead, switch off the water as needed, and we won't leave until we've made double certain everything is working properly. In 2024, we did some light fixture swaps and replaced a leaky faucet or two in two rental units near Cégep de l’Outaouais in a single service day - exactly the kind of efficient, bundled service that saves landlords time and hassle and lets them get on with their lives.

Exterior & Seasonal Handyman Work in Gatineau

Winters in Gatineau and spring thaws can be tough on house exteriors. Wood, caulk, and stairs all take a pounding from the freeze-thaw cycle, heavy snow loads, and all the moisture that comes with living near the Ottawa River. Staying on top of regular home services upkeep is key to preventing bigger problems down the line and keeping your property safe and looking its best.

We focus on small to medium exterior handyman repairs rather than full deck rebuilds or major structural projects, serving the wider Gatineau and surrounding area. Lots of homeowners book in spring and fall maintenance visits to catch issues early, which helps extend the life of their outdoor structures and saves them money in the long run.

If you live in Aylmer, Limbour, downtown Hull, or the surrounding area, our company can bundle up exterior tasks with interior fixes in one visit - it's efficient and makes the most of your time and budget.

Deck & Fence Repairs

Winters in Quebec leave their mark on outdoor structures. We see a lot of loose deck boards, wobbly railings, rotted fence posts at ground level, and cracked steps from ice damage - all common issues that need attention before they turn into serious safety hazards.

The deck and fence services we offer include tightening or replacing fasteners throughout the structure, replacing warped or rotten boards, reinforcing or replacing handrails, repairing or replacing small sections of fencing or gates, installing or replacing deck skirting, and repairing or replacing steps and simple wooden components. Our work focuses on safety, making things usable again, and extending the life of existing structures rather than just cosmetic-only upgrades.

In 2023, we completed repairs to a backyard deck near Parc du Lac-Beauchamp, replacing rotten stair treads and securing the handrail during a one-day visit. The homeowner had been putting off the project for months, worried it would take longer than expected. Getting it sorted quickly meant they could enjoy their outdoor space with confidence that summer would bring, thanks to our hardworking team.

Exterior Caulking, Siding & Entry Fixes

Small exterior details can make a big difference in energy efficiency and in preventing water damage, ensuring timely delivery of services. Tight caulking and sealed gaps are critical for keeping out drafts, leaks, and insects - especially with the strong winds off the Ottawa River during storm season.

The exterior tasks we regularly work on include renewing caulking around windows and doors, sealing small gaps where drafts or pests sneak in, reattaching loose vinyl siding panels, fixing small sections of soffit or fascia, securing loose exterior trim and house numbers, and replacing worn weatherstripping on entry doors.

These aren't glamorous jobs, but they're the kind of maintenance that prevents expensive problems down the line. Before winter 2023, we re-caulked windows and replaced weatherstripping on a 1980s bungalow in the Gatineau sector. The homeowner noticed a real difference in comfort and energy costs that winter brought, with some careful planning for maintenance.

Seasonal Maintenance Visits

Our spring and fall "check-up" style visits are designed for homeowners who want to stay on top of things. We tackle a bunch of exterior and interior items in one booking, covering the maintenance that needs attention as the seasons change.

Typical seasonal tasks include checking for wobbly railings and steps, re-caulking exterior penetrations, lubricating sticky locks and hinges, swapping out seasonal screens and storm doors, adjusting doors and windows that've been affected by humidity changes, and addressing small interior fixes before winter hits. It's the kind of proactive approach that saves money and prevents headaches.

These visits are especially popular with landlords, snowbirds, and busy professionals who want peace of mind without the hassle and expense of managing multiple contractors. In fall 2024, we conducted a maintenance day on a duplex near Parc Brébeuf, covering deck repairs, caulking, and indoor door adjustments in a single efficient visit. The property owner was happy to have direct contact with one trusted team that handled everything with a single invoice.

Support for Gatineau Landlords & Property Managers

Gatineau's got a lot of rental properties - duplexes, triplexes, condos - that need quick turnaround between tenants. If you're managing tenant turnovers, preparing for inspections, or just trying to connect with us, keep up with the ongoing maintenance rental units demand. We know the pressure you're under.

Typical move-out and turnover work we tackle includes patching up drywall holes from furniture and picture hooks, touch-ups for scuffed up paint on the walls, making sure all the cabinets and hardware are tightened up properly by our handyman, fixing closet doors that are a bit off track, checking the caulking in the kitchens and baths to make sure everything is still watertight, and replacing damaged blinds or curtain rods. We work hard as a team to ensure all items on your punch list are delivered quickly, which contributes to a great experience for you and your tenants so you can get the units back on the market in no time.

We can arrange visits to multiple units within a single building, such as downtown Hull or near the Université du Québec en Outaouais, to keep scheduling headaches to a minimum. You get one point of contact, one bill, and the convenience of addressing multiple units' to-do lists in a single day or two. Just email your punch lists and a few quick photos to info@canadahandyman.ca, and we can start making some plans - we're all about making life easier for property managers like you.

Pricing that's as Clear as Day & How We Work

Our goal is to have a clear pricing structure that's easy to understand, with no nasty surprises lurking around the corner. Before we even pick up a hammer for your installation, you get a dedicated written or emailed estimate that spells out the labour costs. (that's usually a half-day or full-day rate for all the work you need done) as well as the materials, so you know exactly what you're in for.

The final bill we send over will match the quote we agreed to, unless, of course, we stumble upon something during the visit that wasn't quite as clear-cut as it seemed at first (like water damage behind the drywall or a plumbing issue that's a lot more complicated than you expected). If that happens, we'll sit down with you, explain what we found, get your okay to proceed, and then discuss the price - no surprises.

Small jobs might look best as a minimum service call, while bigger lists of tasks will often be simpler to tackle if you go with a day-rate structure that's a lot cheaper than booking individual tasks. To make it easier for us to give you an accurate quote and suggest the best plan for your budget, just send us some details and photos of what needs fixing. The more we know up front, the better we can serve you.
