What We Handle

No job too small

From a dripping faucet to a full unit make-ready — our network handles the jobs contractors turn away.

General Home Maintenance

Odd jobs and routine upkeep that keeps your home running smoothly without needing a full contractor.

Drywall Repair & Patching

Holes, cracks, and scuffs repaired and repainted to match. Most patches done in a single visit.

Painting Touch-ups

Scuff marks, post-reno touch-ups, or a full room refresh. Colour matching and proper prep included.

Furniture Assembly

IKEA builds, flat-pack beds, shelving units, office desks — assembled quickly and correctly.

TV Mounting & Picture Hanging

Mounted securely into studs or the right anchors for your wall type. Cables managed neatly.

Minor Plumbing

Dripping faucets, running toilets, slow drains — fixes that prevent strata complaints and bigger issues.

Minor Electrical

Light fixture swaps, switch replacements, and outlet repairs handled safely within BC electrical code.

Door & Lock Repairs

Doors that stick, latch poorly, or won't seal in wet weather — fixed properly, not just forced.

Caulking & Weatherstripping

Fresh caulk around bathrooms, kitchens, and windows — prevents moisture damage and mould.

Flooring Repairs

Lifted laminate, scratched hardwood, loose tiles — repaired without replacing the whole floor.

Rental Unit Make-readies

Full unit turnovers — patching, painting, minor repairs done fast so your unit rents sooner.

Shelving & Storage

Custom shelving, closet organizers, and garage storage — maximizing space in compact Vancouver homes.

Small Fix-up Jobs

Loose handles, stuck drawers, squeaky hinges — the stuff that's been on your list too long.

Common Questions

Questions we get all the time

Straight answers — no filler.

How much does a handyman cost in Metro Vancouver?
+
Most handymen in Metro Vancouver charge $65–$110 per hour depending on the type of work and their experience level. Many jobs are quoted as flat fees — TV mounting runs $100–$180, drywall patching $100–$250, and furniture assembly $60–$120 per piece. We recommend describing your job in detail when you request a quote so the professional can give you a firm number upfront.
How is Fix It Vancouver different from HomeStars or Craigslist?
+
HomeStars lists anyone who signs up — you still have to call around, compare quotes, and hope whoever shows up is reliable. Craigslist is completely unvetted. Fix It Vancouver is a referral service: we review every professional before adding them to our network, read your job description, and make a specific match for your job and city. One form, one submission, one call from the right person.
Do I need to be home when the handyman comes?
+
That's between you and the professional directly — they'll discuss access when they reach out to confirm the job. Most homeowners prefer to be home for the first visit, but for straightforward jobs like furniture assembly or painting, many people arrange key access or a lockbox. Just discuss it when they call to book.
What if I'm not happy with the work?
+
Contact us at info@fixitvancouver.com and we'll do everything we can to help. Since the professionals in our network are independent businesses, disputes about the quality of work are handled between you and them directly. However, we take feedback seriously — consistent quality issues mean a professional doesn't stay in our network.
Can handymen do electrical or plumbing work in BC?
+
In BC, handymen can handle minor electrical and plumbing tasks that don't require a permit — things like replacing a light fixture, swapping a faucet, or fixing a running toilet. Any work involving new wiring, new circuits, panel changes, or new pipe installation requires a licensed electrician or plumber. When you describe your job, we'll make sure we match you with someone appropriately qualified.
How quickly will someone contact me after I submit a request?
+
We review every request within one business day. For urgent jobs, flag it in your description and we'll prioritize it. Once matched, the handyman typically reaches out within a few hours to confirm details and arrange a time. Most jobs in Metro Vancouver are scheduled within 48 hours of the initial request.
