Some Frequently Asked Questions

Below are the answers to the most common questions people searching in Nanaimo ask us.

How soon can we come out and fix it?

Small jobs are often pretty quick - we can usually fit you in within the same week. Keep in mind that during spring and summer, our exterior work, such as deck & fence painting, is very busy, so booking ahead is a good idea. For routine maintenance and interior work, we aim to arrive within 3-7 days, but this can vary depending on our workload at the time.

Are you properly licensed and insured?

Absolutely. We've got a valid business license from the City of Nanaimo and we carry more than $2 million in liability insurance. And for any specialized work that needs permits (electricity, plumbing, gas, building), we make sure to bring in the right tradespeople - folks who are properly licensed under BC law.

What kind of projects do you take on?

We're happy to handle quick fixes (1-2 hours), but we're also perfectly comfortable with larger multi-day projects. Our goal is to be your one-stop shop for repairs, installation services, and small renovations - and if we think it's a job that's too big for us to handle on our own, we know just who to call in.

Do you supply materials, or do we need to buy them?

It's up to you! We can supply the materials and factor them into your quote, or we can work with the materials you've already picked out. We also know all the best places in Nanaimo to buy the right stuff. Just let us know how you'd like to proceed when we sit down to discuss your project.

Do you stand behind your work? What if something goes wrong?

Absolutely. We guarantee our workmanship for a specified period after the job is completed. If you encounter any issues with the services we provided, please give us a call, and we'll come back and fix it. That's how we guarantee total satisfaction from every single job.

What if you find something big while you're working that wasn't on the original quote?

We knock on the door, tell you what we found, and explain the cost of fixing it - before we do any more work. No surprises, we promise.
