Handyman services in Pickering usually include something the weather caused. West Shore and Bay Ridges sit close to the lake, and open wind is hard on doors, screens, decks and anything painted. I am Sercan, and I sort those jobs out along with the indoor ones.
Newer areas like Duffin Heights bring different lists, mostly fittings and storage after moving in. Whichever end of town you are in, the quote is free and the price is agreed before I start.
The older Pickering neighbourhoods near the lake, West Shore and Bay Ridges, sit in open wind off the water, and it shows on anything facing south. Exterior door seals flatten early, screen doors rack out of square, deck boards and railings weather faster than they do inland. Those streets are also full of split-levels, where the stairs run in half flights with short landings, so handrails, spindles and anything carried up to the top level need planning rather than brute force.
Mon – Sat: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM
Sunday: By appointment
Write out everything that needs doing, even the small items, and add photos of anything unusual. Photos of the wall, the fitting or the damage let me price accurately without a site visit in most cases.
I come back with a fixed price or an hourly rate and an honest estimate of how long the list will take. Nothing is booked until you are happy with it, and there is no obligation.
I arrive with the tools and materials for everything you listed, work through the items in a sensible order, and keep you posted if anything underneath turns out different from what the photos showed.
Before I pack up, you and I walk the list together. The work area is vacuumed, offcuts and packaging leave with me, and receipts for any materials I supplied are handed over. If something is not right afterwards, I come back.
Price depends on the list, not on a single job. A visit with several small items usually works out better than booking each separately, because setup and travel are shared across the whole trip. Wall type, access, ceiling height and the condition of what I find all move the figure. Materials can come from me with receipts, or you can supply your own. Awkward access, heritage plaster and rooms full of furniture take longer. Whatever the job, the fixed price or hourly rate is agreed before I start.
Nothing starts before the price is agreed. Send a photo or two with your request and I can usually quote without a site visit.
Usually yes. Near the lake in Pickering the seals compress faster than they do inland, and a door that fit properly five years ago now has daylight along one edge. I check the hinges, the strike plate and the threshold before replacing anything, because more often than not the door has simply dropped and needs resetting rather than a new seal.
