Quick & Reliable Handyman Help in Montreal - When You Need It Most

Welcome to your go-to handyman crew in Montreal, offering a variety of services in Montreal. We're a local team that helps homeowners, landlords, and small businesses across the Island of Montreal, from the Plateau to Rosemont – La Petite-Patrie, NDG, Lachine, Ville-Marie, and pretty much every other neighborhood. We're not strangers to keeping homes in this part of Quebec running smoothly, and our experienced crew has the skills to tackle whatever's on your to-do list.

Here's the deal – we specialise in bundling up all those little jobs into a single visit, so you don't need to chase down half a dozen different trades. Drywall patches, leaky taps, squeaky doors, light fixtures, loose railings, and caulking around windows - we fix the whole lot in one hit. That means less time waiting around, less hassle coordinating with schedulers, and way more bang for your buck because we are efficient in our approach.

Most routine visits can usually be booked within a few business days in 2024-2025, depending on the season and demand. Don't matter if you're living in a classic brick triplex in Villeray, a mid-century bungalow in Lasalle, or a newer condo in Griffintown - we've got you covered with reliable, dependable service.

Ready to get started? For any inquiries, please contact us by giving us a call on 365-444-0596 or sending your list to info@canadahandyman.ca - we'd love to hear about your project and lend a hand with those repairs you've been putting off.

• Fully insured for residential work in Quebec - you can trust us to do the job right

• Handymen you can trust in your house - we do background checks on all our crew

• One visit handles multiple home repairs instead of booking separate contractors - we save you time and hassle

• We know the local rules and the quirks of Montreal buildings - we respect condo bylaws and all that jazz

• Quick fixes and larger improvement projects handled with equal care - we don't just do the easy stuff

• Transparent pricing - we give you written quotes upfront, no hidden fees to worry about

Why Montreal Homeowners Trust Our Handyman Crew

We know Montreal like the back of our hand - from the freeze-thaw cycles that crack plaster in old Plateau walkups to the humid summers that swell doors in basement apartments across the city.

Spring 2024 - We Finished a Montreal Condo Fixup in Just 1 Day!

In the spring of 2024, we spent a whirlwind day near Parc La Fontaine helping out a family get their condo ready to sell. Our crew of handy pros fixed up some rough spots with drywall repair, a fresh coat of paint to cover some unsightly marks, and made a few key plumbing tweaks – all done and dusted by the end of the day. That level of seamless, professional help is what Montreal homeowners really need, and it’s no wonder we see so many clients coming back year in and year out for all their seasonal maintenance and small renovation needs.

What Sets Us Apart:

• We show up on time, and we keep you in the loop if anything changes

• Clear, written quotes that break down what we'll do, and what it'll cost

• No surprise charges or scope creep without your say-so

• Our handymen are thoroughly vetted, insured, and background-checked for your peace of mind

• We're experts on the Montreal housing stock and how to keep it looking its best

• The real satisfaction comes from getting the job done right the first time – no need for callbacks

Handyman Services for Montreal Homes & Condos - The Inside Story

We spend most of our time working our magic in Montreal apartments, condos, and single-family homes – those high-traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and basements that always seem to need a tune-up. These are the rooms where life happens, and the to-do list just keeps growing.

Our goal is to clear out as much of that list as possible in one go, saving you time and money. Think of us as your one-stop solution for all those little fixes that have been nagging at you for ages.

Some of the Indoor Jobs We Handle on a Regular Basis:

• A little drywall and paint to tidy up the look

• Bathroom fixes and minor plumbing work to keep things running smoothly

• Kitchen repairs and cabinet tweaks to get the most out of your space

• Doors, door hardware, and all those other annoying little things that need fixing

• Minor electrical work (light switches, ceiling fans, etc.)

• Shelving, TVs, closet organizers, and all the general installation work

We stick to small- to medium-sized jobs and leave big gut renovations and structural changes to the experts. We'll even recommend the right pros for the job if needed – but we can often help with minor repairs and the finishing touches to make sure everything looks and feels just right.

Drywall Repair & Painting Touch-Ups

Montreal homes and condos just seem to be forever getting little dings and dents – stairwell walls cracking, newer condos in Griffintown with nail pops, people moving furniture around in their tiny apartments, and leaving big holes behind from old TV mounts and shelving projects. We fix all kinds of damage, from tiny pinpricks to larger sections, and can tidy up any paintwork needed to blend it all in seamlessly.

Our repair and painting skills cover everything from small holes and cracks to damaged textures and corner beads, and we match the new to the old so it disappears like magic. We even paint the repaired areas to match the existing wall, tidy up baseboards and trim so the patches are invisible, and keep floors and furniture protected with drop cloths. Check out the hallway in this NDG apartment we fixed up in late 2023 – a move had left behind a bunch of holes from picture hangers and a bigger spot where a bookshelf had been anchored, but we had it looking perfect in no time.

Our Drywall & Painting Repair Services:

• Holes from anchors, mounts, or just general mayhem

• Cracks along ceilings and stairwells

• Nail pops and the settling damage that comes with it

• Corner bead dents and dings

• Texture matching on existing walls

• Painting repairs to blend in seamlessly

• We clean up as we go and leave no mess behind

Bathroom Fixes & Minor Plumbing Work

We tackle small, non-structural bathroom jobs to keep your space looking its best and functioning properly. This includes re-caulking tubs and showers after years of use, re-grouting tiles around tub surrounds, swapping out leaky faucets and showerheads, and installing new toilets when they're getting on in years.

We don't do full-gut renovations or move plumbing lines – that's work for licensed pros. But we can give your bathroom a little refresh, stop small leaks, and update fixtures through proper installation without breaking the bank. or causing major disruption. Check out this 2010-era condo we updated in the Bell Centre area with a new low-flow toilet and modern faucet in early 2024 – a simple job that made a big difference to the homeowner's water bill and daily comfort.

Some of the Bathroom Tasks We Regularly Tackle:

• Re-caulking tubs, showers, and sink surrounds

• Re-grouting tiles in shower stalls and tub areas

• Replacing faucets, showerheads, and drain assemblies

• Installing standard toilets when the plumbing is accessible

• Fixing running toilets and stuck flappers

• Our approach: turn off the water, install the new, test for leaks, and be gone

Kitchen Repairs & Minor Updates

Most Montreal clients don't need a complete kitchen makeover – they just want their existing kitchen to run more smoothly. That's where we come in, focusing on the practical improvements that make a real difference without the expense of a major project. In 2023, we spent an afternoon in a Rosemont kitchen, tweaking a few cabinet doors that just wouldn't close right, installing a new pull-down faucet to replace an old one that was dripping, and swapping all the cabinet hardware to brushed nickel for a speedy facelift. The homeowner was grinning ear to ear at how different the space looked and felt after we were done.

The kinds of kitchen tasks we usually get called in to tackle:

Task - What We Do

Cabinet door adjustments - Fixing sagging doors that are falling apart and replacing worn-out hinges

Drawer repairs - Swapping out the old slides so that drawers glide in and out smoothly again

Hardware upgrades - Putting in fresh new pulls and handles to give the place a whole new look

Faucet replacement - Swapping old fixtures out for brand new ones

Sink sealing - Re-caulking around the sink to prevent water damage

Backsplash touch-ups - Repairing or replacing a few damaged tiles

Drywall patching - Filling in holes left behind by removed shelves or old phone nooks

Doors, Hardware & Those Little Guys That Drive You Crazy

These are the top reasons we get called out to homes in Montreal. After a long, hot summer, doors tend to start rubbing against the floor or won't close properly. Then there are the cold, dry winters when exterior doors start getting drafty and letting heat out, so they need some fresh weatherstripping.

Lots of our clients wind up booking a "house-wide door tune-up" where we go from room to room fixing those little niggling things that've just gotten to be too much to deal with all at once. It's a quick way to get rid of all the little frustrations you've learned to put up with over time.

The door and hardware jobs we get around to regularly:

• Trimming interior doors that are sticking or dragging

• Getting the latches and strike plates adjusted so they'll close properly

• Installing new knobs and deadbolts for extra security

• Hanging curtains, rods, and blinds

• Putting up some simple closet organizers

• Making sure things are securely mounted, like heavy mirrors, shelving, and TVs, into studs or brick

• Anchoring things properly in kids' rooms and units we rent out to prevent accidents

• We've got all the right anchors and fasteners for plaster, brick, or drywall walls

Small Electrical Fixes & Plumbing Tasks

We'll take care of small, skilled electrical and plumbing jobs - the kind that don't need major permits, but still need to be done right. For anything more than that, we'll send you to a licensed electrician or plumber.

What we can actually handle:

• Replacing existing light fixtures with new ones

• Putting in an LED flush mount where the wiring already exists

• Swapping standard switches and dimmers

• Replacing bathroom fans on existing wiring

• Changing kitchen and bathroom faucets

• Replacing accessible shutoff valves

• Installing new showerheads

But we send them to the pros for:

• Electrical panel work or rewiring

• Moving plumbing lines

• New circuit installation

• Anything that needs a permit

Safety is at the top of our list. We kill the power at the breaker box, check with a tester to confirm everything is dead, turn off the water as needed, and don't call it good until we've verified everything is working as it should. Landlords in Montreal who've got properties to manage appreciate having these small jobs taken care of alongside the drywall and carpentry work - one person, one invoice, and a whole lot less hassle.

Exterior, Seasonal & Small Carpentry Work in Montreal

Montreal winters, road salt, and the constant freeze-thaw cycles they bring are tough on decks, fences, exterior stairs, and caulking. Doing regular maintenance helps prevent bigger problems down the line and keeps your investment safe and looking its best. This section is all about outdoor and seasonal work, including gutter cleaning - the kind that'll keep your property looking great for years to come.

We focus on small- to medium-sized exterior repairs and seasonal maintenance rather than large new-deck construction or major structural framing. Lots of our clients book us up in the spring and fall for a "maintenance day" that covers the outdoor stuff and any small indoor fixes they've been putting off.

Key exterior tasks:

• Deck and fence work to extend the life of your existing structures

• Caulking and minor siding work for better energy efficiency

• Seasonal maintenance visits to catch issues before they grow into serious problems

• We use weather-resistant materials rated for Quebec conditions

Deck & Fence Repairs

Quebec winters leave their mark on outdoor structures. We see a lot of loose deck boards, wobbly or rusted railings, rotten fence posts at ground level, and cracked steps from the ice and salt damage - all common problems that need to be fixed before they become serious safety hazards.

Last summer, we did some work on a deck in Parc Jarry by redoing the stairs and tightening up the handrail in a single day. The homeowner had been putting it off for months, worried it would take longer than expected. Getting it sorted out quickly meant they could have their barbecues all summer.

The deck and fence tasks we're good at:

• Tightening or replacing fasteners throughout the structure

• Swapping out warped or rotten boards

• Reinforcing or replacing handrails for safety

• Repairing or replacing small sections of fencing or gates

• Installing or replacing deck skirting

• Fixing steps and simple privacy panels* Our number one goal : to get onto safety issues before they get us - and to squeeze a bit more life out of the old structures we live in

Exterior Caulking, Minor Siding & Entry Repairs

A few small exterior jobs can add up to big savings in energy efficiency and water protection - and that's especially true when you're talking about wind and rain off the St. Lawrence, and cold snaps that can drop to -20°C. These are usually pretty simple fixes that can keep water out, keep the rot at bay, and keep your energy bills from skyrocketing - which is especially important in older brick buildings in places like Villeray or Hochelaga.

These are some of the exterior tasks we do all the time:

• Getting the caulking around windows and doors renewed

• Sealing up gaps where drafts and insects can sneak in

• Re-attaching the vinyl or aluminum siding panels that have come loose

• Doing small repairs to the soffit or fascia

• Making sure your exterior trim and house numbers are still securely in place

• Replacing worn-out weatherstripping on your entry doors

• We use special exterior sealants that are rated for Quebec conditions - just the right kind of stuff for the job

Spring & Fall Maintenance Visits

Many Montreal homeowners, landlords, and snowbirds have us come out for seasonal maintenance visits in spring and fall. This is especially smart for property owners with multi-unit properties like duplexes and triplexes in areas like Côte-des-Neiges or Verdun who want to avoid a bigger repair bill down the road.

We can work up a list with you by email ahead of time, so we can plan the right tools and materials and get as much done in one hit as possible.

Typical seasonal maintenance tasks:

• Checking the railings and exterior stairs to make sure they're still stable

• Re-caulking any exterior vents or cable entries

• Lubricating stuck locks and hinges

• Swapping out window screens and storm panels where it makes sense

• Adjusting doors and windows that have gotten out of whack because of seasonal expansion

• Doing small interior touch-ups before or after the heating season

• Cleaning the gutters and checking the downspouts, where we can get at them safely

Property Managers & Landlords in Montreal

We work with many landlords who own small multi-unit buildings throughout Montreal. If you're dealing with tenant turnovers, inspection requirements, or just trying to keep up with the maintenance that rental properties demand, we totally get it. Having one reliable person to call beats juggling lots of small contractors any day.

Back in early 2024, we did three rental units near Université de Montréal in a two-day turnaround between leases - fixing drywall damage from TV mounts and furniture, touch-up painting on scuffed walls, and small plumbing fixes. The property manager appreciated having one team to deal with, one invoice, and tenants moving into units that looked professionally maintained.

Some of the common move-out and turnover tasks we handle include lighting updates :

• Patching drywall from TV mounts, picture holes, and furniture damage

• Repainting scuffed and scratched walls

• Tightening up loose cabinet and door hardware

• Fixing bi-fold and sliding closet doors that won't track right

• Re-caulking tubs and sinks

• Replacing broken light fixtures with code-compliant ones

• Doing small flooring repairs where it makes sense

So why do property managers hire us?

• We can handle multiple repair categories with one phone call

• We can coordinate multiple unit visits in the same building - it's no hassle

• We save you per-unit travel costs and scheduling headaches

• We do a great job and help keep your property value up

• Our invoicing is clear and easy to understand

How We Work: Rates, Estimates & All That

We offer free estimates for most handyman services in Montreal - especially when you send us a clear description and some good photos of the issues. This lets us give you a realistic idea of time and cost before we even set foot on site.

For bigger jobs or more complex projects, we might recommend an on-site visit to give a more accurate written quote. Either way, no pressure, no obligation.

How our pricing works:

• We charge a rate for mixed task lists where the scope can change at any moment

Fixed-price quote

Jobs with a very clear scope (e.g., just replacing a toilet, fixing specific areas of drywall)

Half-day bookings

A good option if you've only got a little bit of work that needs doing

Medium-to-longer lists of 3-5 tasks

Full-day bookings for bigger jobs, or a good way to tackle seasonal maintenance

We always lay all our cards on the table, explaining every last detail upfront so you're never hit with any surprise costs at the end of the job. And we don't charge for estimates, nor do we try to sneak in any extra fees that aren't in the original quote unless you give us the green light to tackle some extra work.

Tips for getting a quote that's actually on target:

• Make yourself a list of the tasks you need doing, in order of priority - this can make it a lot easier to get a good estimate (e.g., I need to fix the fan in the bathroom of my Outremont condo, and then patch a hole in the drywall in the hallway, and finally adjust two doors)

• If you can, send over some photos of each issue - this really can speed up the process

• Give us a heads up if you've got a deadline to meet (like selling a property, or a tenant moving in) - that helps us get to work on the things that matter most

We'll look at your list and suggest whether a half-day or full-day booking is the way to go
