  • Donna Kwong

    Sean replaced our bathroom faucet today. He was creative in dealing with a tricky part. The price was reasonable and I was given good advice to replace rather than try to repair a drippy tap.

  • Andrew Cosgrave

    We had a great experience with Mr. Handyman. We called to make an appointment and they were able to squeeze us in same day. Andre Saguez completed the job quickly and professionally. He was very kind and he showed me how to do complete the installation so that next time I can do it myself.

    Truly Above and Beyond – Grateful for This Team! Being new to the city, I wasn’t sure where to turn for reliable help—but from my first phone call with Judith, I felt I was in good hands with Mr. Handyman of SW Edmonton. Twain and the team not only showed up on time, but even waited patiently for me to arrive with the items. What really stood out was the extra care—they helped me get everything sorted, and Twain even offered to drop me off to return the rental truck. That simple gesture meant so much. Professional, kind, and genuinely helpful—this team made a stressful day so much easier. They provided top-tier service at an exceptionally affordable price. Highly recommend! Thanks team Mr. Handyman of SW Edmonton.

Barn doors are taking interior decoration by storm thanks to their versatility — they can be installed in many different locations, used to cover other things than doorways, and even constructed out of different materials.

Find the answer to all your barn door questions below:

  • While this is not the preferred installation method, you certainly can hang a barn door from the ceiling. Since it’s not a common installation technique, there are not a lot of different hardware styles and options. You may even need to have hardware custom made. The good news is that the rollers and door hardware are the same, no matter where you mount it.
