Our Story

Finding a reliable handyman
shouldn't be this hard.

We built Fix It Vancouver because we kept running into the same problem — contractors won't touch small jobs, and finding someone trustworthy online feels like a gamble. There had to be a better way.

The problem we're solving

✕

Contractors won't come out for small jobs — minimum call-outs of $500+

✕

Online listings are unverified — no way to know who you're letting into your home

✕

Chasing quotes from multiple people just to fix a leaky faucet

✕

Professionals based far away charge travel fees that double the cost

Our Mission

The trusted middle layer between residents and tradespeople

Metro Vancouver has no shortage of skilled independent handymen. What it lacks is a reliable way to find them. That gap — between a homeowner with a growing to-do list and a skilled tradesperson looking for steady work — is exactly what we fill.

We built Fix It Vancouver as a referral network, not a contractor business. We don't swing hammers. We connect the right people, vet the professionals in our network, and make sure every request gets a fast, accountable response.

Our goal is simple: make finding a reliable handyman in Metro Vancouver as easy as ordering a pizza. You tell us what's broken. We find the right person to fix it.

Who We Help

Built for every type of Metro Vancouver resident

Whether you own, rent, or manage property — our network is set up for your specific situation.

🏡

Homeowners

For the endless to-do list you never have enough time or the right tools to tackle. We connect you with someone efficient, local, and accountable.

🔑

Tenants & Renters

Quick fixes before move-out, repairs your landlord hasn't gotten to, or work you've been approved to arrange yourself. We move fast.

🏢

Landlords

A reliable maintenance partner for unit turnovers, tenant repair calls, and everything in between. Less chasing, more done.

📋

Property Managers

Multi-unit portfolios, strata complexes, emergency repairs — we're the referral network that handles volume without dropping the ball.

How We Work

Simple, transparent, local

Three steps is all it takes — from problem to professional.

1

You submit a request

Fill out our quote form with your city, job description, and preferred timing. Adding photos helps us make a better match and gives the handyman context before they reach out.

2

We review and match

Our team reads every request and connects you with the best available professional in our network for your specific job type and neighbourhood. We don't use algorithms — real humans review every submission.

3

The handyman contacts you

The independent professional reaches out to you directly — to discuss pricing, confirm the scope, and schedule the work. All professionals operate their own businesses and set their own rates.

Why a referral network?

We're not a contractor and we don't employ the handymen — here's why that's actually better for you.

💰

No middleman markup

You deal directly with the professional on pricing. We don't add a cut to their rate.

📍

Truly local

Independent professionals who live and work in your city — not dispatched from across the region.

✅

Vetted before they join

Every professional in our network has been reviewed before we refer them to anyone.

⚡

One request, right match

You describe the job once. We find the right person. No cold-calling, no comparing strangers.

What We Stand For

The principles we operate by

These aren't slogans — they're the decisions we make every day about who gets into our network and how we treat every request.

🔍

Accountability over volume

We'd rather have a smaller network of reliable professionals than a large directory of unknowns. Quality of match matters more than speed of growth.

📍

Genuinely local

Local means the professional lives in your city, knows the neighbourhoods, and doesn't charge travel fees to get there. That's the standard we hold to.

🚫

No job too small

The whole reason Fix It Vancouver exists is that small jobs get ignored. We take them seriously — a single leaky faucet matters as much as a full unit turnover.

⚡

Respect for your time

Every request gets reviewed within one business day. We know the reason you reached out is because something needs to get fixed — urgency is not optional.

🤝

Transparency

We're a referral service and we say so clearly. You know what we do, how we work, and what to expect — no hidden fees, no bait and switch.

🏗️

Built for Metro Vancouver

From strata bylaws to heritage homes to the wet climate that warps every wooden door — we understand the specific repair challenges of this region.
