Repairs & Handyman Service
in Muskoka.
When something on the cottage breaks, you don't need a six-week proposal. You need someone with the right truck, the right parts, and the judgment to fix it once. Our handyman crew handles the carpentry-side repairs that keep a Muskoka property running, and we handle HVAC, electrical, and plumbing under the same contract.

How we approach repairs & handyman service.
What we self-perform
Carpentry-side repairs are our wheelhouse: stuck doors and windows, rotted trim, loose railings, busted stairs, drywall patching, hardware swaps, dock board replacements, deck repairs, fascia and soffit fixes, exterior trim and weatherboard, fence repairs, and storm or ice damage triage. One truck, a dedicated project manager, parts on board.
HVAC, electrical & plumbing
Furnaces, panels, fixtures, drain work, ductwork, mini-splits: all handled under one contract with one PM. We don't do emergency dispatch for mechanical, so if a furnace dies in January or a pipe lets go on a long weekend, call your utility or a 24/7 emergency line first. We take over the proper repair after the immediate risk is handled so you still get one invoice and one point of accountability.
Handyman emergency response
For the carpentry-side things that ruin a weekend (a smashed door, a broken stair, storm-damaged dock boards, a sagging gate, a leaking fixture we installed), we run a 48-hour response window May through October across the Muskoka region. Outside peak season we book within the week.
Fix-it days and punch lists
Booked in half-day or full-day blocks. We bring a prioritized list, work top-to-bottom, photograph before and after, and leave a written log so you know exactly what got done and what was deferred.

Repairs & Handyman Service we've built.
We come to you. Lake, city, or screen.
We love meeting people over a coffee so we can hear them out and understand their vision for the cottage. Boots on the ground in Muskoka, in-person meetings in Toronto, or a video call if your schedule is tight. Pick what works for you.
Coffee in the city
Most of our clients live in Toronto or the GTA. We meet downtown between site days so you can sketch ideas, swap photos, and walk through scope without driving north.
Boots on the ground in Muskoka
Our crew lives here. We'll meet you at the cottage, walk the lot, and pull tape on what you're thinking, no appointment shuffling required.
Virtual walkthroughs
Live video walkthroughs of the site, the build, and the selections. Hit join from anywhere in the world and see the project as if you were standing in it.
Year-round or weekenders
Whether the cottage is your full-time home or your getaway, we shape the build sequence around how you actually use the place, and how often you can be on site.
"Door blew in during a March storm. They had it weather-tight the next morning and a new exterior door fitted by the weekend."
"Booked a fix-it day before our first guests of the season. They cleared 22 items off our punch list in eight hours."
"Honest about the schedule: they fixed the deck the next day and lined up the panel upgrade on the calendar a couple weeks later, all on one contract."
How a repairs & handyman service project runs.
Tell us what's wrong
Text us photos. We scope it from the photos when we can, otherwise we book a short site visit.
Fixed-price or hourly
Small jobs run hourly, larger lists are fixed-price. You see the number before we start.
Do it once
We carry the parts that fix 80% of cottage calls so most jobs are one-visit. Larger material orders are scheduled within the week.
Written log
Photos in, photos out, parts list, time on site. Owner-friendly so you can forward it to a property manager or tenant.

Common questions.
Do you do emergency HVAC, plumbing, or electrical repairs?+
No, not emergency dispatch. HVAC, electrical, and plumbing are handled under one contract: furnace tune-ups, panel work, fixture installs, drain work, mini-splits. For a true mechanical emergency (gas, fire, flooding, no heat in winter), call your utility, the fire department, or a 24/7 emergency service first. We take over the proper repair after.
What counts as a handyman emergency for you?+
Carpentry-side things that wreck a weekend: smashed doors or windows, storm-damaged docks and decks, broken stairs or railings, weather-tight repairs after a tree strike, a sagging gate, or a leaking fixture or pipe we originally installed. 48-hour response May through October across Muskoka and Parry Sound.
Can we book a fix-it day for a long punch list?+
Yes. Half-day or full-day blocks, prioritized list, photos in and out. Common for pre-listing prep, post-purchase punch lists, and rental owners getting a property ready for the season.
Do you take small jobs, or only renovations?+
Both. A two-hour door repair is just as welcome as a 12-week reno. Small jobs get the same crew and the same standard of work.
Will you fix something another contractor installed?+
Usually yes. We'll inspect, tell you honestly whether it's worth repairing or replacing, and either fix it or hand it back to the original installer if it's still under their warranty.
How do you bill small jobs?+
Hourly for anything under a half day, with a one-hour minimum and a written quote for parts before we order. Fixed-price for anything bigger or for fix-it day blocks.
Do you carry parts on the truck?+
Common doors, hinges, deck boards, railing pickets, hardware, screws, sealants, weather stripping, and trim stock. About 80% of cottage calls are one-visit fixes because of it.
Can property managers and rental owners get priority?+
Yes. We hold response windows for managed-portfolio and STR clients in peak season, and bill at portfolio rates with consolidated monthly invoicing.
Do you work year-round?+
Yes. Carpentry repairs, storm damage, and weather-tight emergency boarding through winter. Larger renovations and dock work pause when the lake freezes.
How fast can you get to a call?+
48 hours in peak season (May–October) for handyman-scale emergencies, within the week off-season. Same-week for scheduled fix-it visits.
