Handyman Services in Thornhill - We've Got You Covered

Our handyman services in Thornhill are designed for anyone who needs reliable service, minus the hassle and cost of hiring a pile of different contractors for every minor fix. We handle the full range of jobs that keep properties in good nick, from quick repairs to larger maintenance projects.

Here's what our team usually tackles:

• Small repair jobs – Fixing wobbly handrails, tightening loose cabinet doors, fixing squeaky floors

• Plumbing and electrical nips and tucks – Replacing bathroom taps, swapping light fittings, installing dimmer switches (though not full re-wiring or panel upgrades)

• Interior updates – Patching up to 12-inch drywall holes, touch-up painting on accent walls, and replacing bathroom fans

• Exterior jobs – Fitting new storm doors, adjusting gates on your fence, and gutters need cleaning?

• Punch lists for new tenants - Touching up paint, swapping out hardware, and fixing fixtures between tenants

We can handle both scheduled projects and minor jobs that come up unexpectedly - like a broken door latch, dripping faucet, or holes in the drywall - without making a big deal out of it. We are a 24/7 emergency plumber. Our pricing is transparent - you get a clear quote before we start the job, and no sneaky extras for travelling across Thornhill.

Interior Home Repairs and Tweaks

Most of the calls we get are about interior work in the kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, lounges, basements, and condos along the Yonge Street corridor. These are the spaces where you spend most of your time - and we want to make sure they are both functional and comfy.

We work neatly in occupied homes and condos, protecting your flooring and furniture every step of the way. When we're done, we sweep up and remove any rubbish, leaving your space looking better than when we started.

• Drywall and painting – Patching holes from those pesky 3M strips, repairing drywall cracks, repainting single-room spaces with proper prep and primer

• Doors and trim – Fixing doors that won't latch, adjusting closet doors in those '80s L4J homes, replacing damaged baseboards

• Fixtures and hardware – Swapping out light fittings, bathroom taps, shower heads, door handles, and installing smart thermostats (all within code limits, naturally)

• Carpentry and building things – Constructing custom shelving, closet organizers, and assembling IKEA or Costco flatpacks - we can get these jobs done in 2-4 hours, whereas the DIY route can take 6-8 hours

• Bathroom refresh work – Recaulking tubs and showers, regrouting small areas, swapping out bathroom fans and vanity lights to reduce moisture and mould

Exterior Repairs and Maintenance - Keep Your Home Looking Its Best

Thornhill's weather can be pretty tough on decks, fences, and exterior caulking - especially in older neighbourhoods around Centre St, Clark Ave, and Bathurst St, where homes built in the 70s and 80s are showing their age. Regular maintenance prevents further damage and keeps your property looking its best.

We schedule exterior work around Thornhill's typical weather patterns - exterior painting, deck staining with UV-protectant sealers, and so on- running from late May to early October, all weather permitting. Here's what our exterior repairs usually cover:

• Fence and gate jobs – Straightening leaning posts, repairing broken panels, replacing sagging latches on backyard gates

• Deck and Porch Care - Replacing rotten deck boards or stair treads, giving the railings a good tighten and some TLC, sanding and re-staining smaller to medium-sized decks using products that'll keep them looking good for 3 to 5 years

• Doors and Windows - Installing a storm door or two gets those sticking exterior doors realigned so they're not driving you crazy, recaulking the drafty window frames with silicone that's got an R-3 thermal rating to keep you warm and the heating bills down 10 to 15% through those cold winters in Thornhill

• Seasonal Maintenance - Cleaning out the gutters of one and two-story homes, getting the downspouts adjusted so the water flows away from your foundation, and some weatherstripping around the doors to keep the cold air out before winter sets in

Drywall Repair and Painting in Thornhill

Drywall repair is one of our most requested handyman services in Thornhill - we get calls all the time from folks living in single-family homes and condos along Yonge and Steeles. Whether you've got a doorknob hole, a big gash where a plumber or electrician worked, or some water damage around a window or down in the basement, we're the ones to call. We'll get your walls looking like new in no time.

We do all sorts of drywall work - from little patches to major repairs where we need to install new boards. Most small drywall jobs, like 1 to 3 patches, can be wrapped up in a single visit, allowing for all the drying time you need for the joint compound to set just right. Here's how we do it:

• Quote and Inspection - we take a look at what needs fixing and give you a quote, either based on photos or a visit to your place to get a better idea of the scope of work

• Removal and Installation - cutting out the bad drywall, installing new 5/8 inch board where needed, taping it all up, and applying joint compound in the right layers

• Finishing Touches - sanding it all down to 220 grit so it's smooth as silk, and spot priming any areas that need a little extra TLC

• Painting - getting the repaired area or the whole wall painted so it all looks good as new

We can match up most any paint you've got in the area, including the neutral shades that are so popular in the newer townhouse developments around Thornhill. And if you've got water damage or suspect there's a moisture issue, we use moisture meters to check the readings and make sure we get to the root of the problem first.

Plumbing, Electrical, and Safety-Oriented Small Jobs

We're not a full-service plumbing company or a licensed electrician, but we do tackle those minor plumbing and electrical jobs that other contractors just don't want to handle. They're small enough not be worth their while, but big enough that you can't just leave them alone.

Some of the plumbing work we do:

• Fixing or replacing those leaky faucets that drive you crazy\

• Swapping out old toilets for new comfort-height or water-saving models\

• Replacing those under-sink shut-off valves and supply lines on single fixtures\

• Re-sealing loose sinks and caulking around tubs and showers so you don't get water damage\

• Doing some basic drain cleaning for slow-running sinks (not the big stuff, though)

Some of the electrical work we do:

• Replacing light fixtures, dimmers, and standard switches\

• Installing new bathroom fan units using the existing wiring\

• Swapping out old thermostats for new ones - the programmable smart ones like Nest units that handle 24V circuits, when the plumbing system and HVAC will work with it

A note on safety - we're not going to tackle the big stuff like main drain backups, whole home repipes, or burst pipe emergencies that need a pro. But those small jobs that other contractors won't touch - that's our bread and butter. We shut off the water and power properly, test our work, and take the time to explain what we did before we leave.

If you need some serious drain cleaning or tankless water heater installation, we'll recommend a reliable plumber in the area.
