Service area
Close enough to come back for the touch-up.
We keep our area tight on purpose. Short drives mean we're on time, we can pop back when paint needs a second coat, and you aren't paying for an hour on the highway.
Where we go
Two zones, one simple rule.
If you're in the green, travel is part of the hourly rate. Further out, there's one flat charge per visit, however long the job takes.
Core area
Guelph, Rockwood, Eden Mills, Arkell, Puslinch, Aberfoyle, Marden and the rural roads in between.
Travel included.
Outer towns
Fergus, Elora, Acton, Erin, Hespeler and Breslau.
$40 flat per visit.
How we plan the week
We group jobs by area, so the crew drives less.
It's how we keep the rate where it is. If your date is flexible, we'll offer you the day we're already nearby, and you'll usually get a sooner slot too.

The houses we know
From stone cottages to last year's subdivision.
Guelph and the villages around it have a bit of everything: limestone houses from the 1800s with plaster walls and nothing quite square, post-war bungalows, and newer builds where the drywall is thin and the trim is MDF. Each needs a different anchor, a different patch and a different kind of patience.
We work on all of them. On older homes we take extra care with original trim and plaster, and if something is better repaired than replaced, we'll say so.
- Plaster and lath patching that matches the old wall
- Original doors re-hung rather than swapped out
- Condo work booked around your building's rules and elevator times
Questions
About where we go.
I'm just outside the dotted line. Will you still come?
Often, yes, for a bigger job or when we're already nearby. Send the request with your town and we'll tell you honestly whether we can be there on time.
Do you work in Kitchener, Waterloo or Milton?
Not regularly. Those cities have plenty of good handyman companies, and we'd rather be dependable here than stretched thin there. We're happy to suggest someone.
Do you work for landlords and property managers?
Yes, within the same area. We can meet tenants, work from a lockbox and send photos of the finished job with the invoice.
In our area?
