General repairs around the house, furniture assembly, interior painting and small project work. I also handle junk removal, rental property maintenance, garage storage setups and light home upgrades. If a job needs a bigger crew or a licensed trade, I know a guy 😊
The minimum charge is $90, which covers the first hour, travel and setup within 25 km. After that most handyman work is $45/hr. Tech help is $65/hr. Junk removal is priced by load size on the Junk Removal page. Parts and supplies are billed at actual cost with receipts, or you can provide your own.
Yes, interior painting is available by quote only since pricing varies by scope. Typical projects cover walls only (no trim or ceiling) with single-pass patch and sand for blemishes, plus 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of mid-range Sherwin-Williams paint. Request a Quote

Yes. Couches, BBQs, chairs or whatever is in the way. Single items are no problem. Curbside pickup with clear pricing so you know the cost upfront.
Express loads are the quick and simple junk removal option. Best for light household items, small curbside pickups and easy lifts that do not need extra labor or sorting.
Mixed loads are for jobs with a variety of materials such as household clutter, garage cleanouts or renovation debris. Sorting and standard dump fees are included.
Most junk jobs are flat priced, but stairs or long carries may add a small fee. Heavy or special materials can have surcharges. Paint, chemicals, concrete, rocks, soil, tires, fridges and freezers need preapproval. Request a callback to confirm your load.
Yes. Minor framing, drywall, flooring, doors, trim and general upgrades. I can also install simple accessibility items like ramps and grab bars. For larger projects that need permits or inspections, I will refer trusted contractors.
If there is an opening and it fits my scope, yes. For urgent items such as damaged doors, broken locks or safety issues, request a callback and I will do what I can.
Yes. Clients may supply their own parts and materials. If shopping or pickup is required, the rate is $90 for sourcing, travel, pickup or delivery, including access to wholesale trade pricing. Materials are billed at cost as a pass-through expense, with digital receipt copies provided and no markup. Standard travel rates apply beyond 25 km round trip at $1.50 per km from Kelowna city center.
For express on-route pickup of basic hardware items such as door knobs, deadbolts, latch sets or hinges, the rate is $45 plus materials at cost with no markup.
Travel within 25 km round trip is included in the first hour. Over 25 km adds $1.50 per km. Work outside the base city zone is fine and follows the same rate.
Request a callback with a short note about the task, your location and a photo if you have one. I will confirm the plan and a time.
