How often should I schedule home maintenance services?

Generally, scheduling home maintenance services once or twice a year keeps everything in good shape. A spring and fall check-up can help catch seasonal issues, like prepping for colder weather or tidying up after winter. Regularly inspecting things like your HVAC system, plumbing, and doors can save you from more extensive repairs down the line.

What are some common signs that my home needs power washing?

If you’re noticing dirt buildup, dark stains, or green patches from mold or mildew on your siding, driveway, or deck, it’s a good sign your home could use a power wash. Other signs include a dull or faded look on surfaces that used to shine and slippery spots on walkways due to grime. Regular power washing as part of your home maintenance services can keep everything looking fresh and help protect surfaces from long-term damage.

What’s the difference between power washing and pressure washing?

Power washing uses hot water, which makes it better for tackling stubborn stains, grease, and mold. Pressure washing , on the other hand, uses regular-temperature water but relies on high pressure to clean surfaces. Both are effective, but power washing is often preferred for tougher jobs. When booking home repairs and services, ask which option would be best for the surfaces you need to be cleaned.

How do I know if a faucet repair is needed rather than a replacement?

If your faucet is just dripping, has a small leak, or feels loose, a simple repair might be all you need. Worn-out washers, seals, or minor corrosion can usually be fixed without replacing the whole faucet. However, if the faucet has major rust, cracks, or frequent issues, it might be more cost-effective to go for a replacement.

What types of issues should I look for when inspecting doors and windows?

Keep an eye out for drafts or gaps around the edges, which can let in cold air and drive up energy bills. Check for visible damage like cracks, warping, or rotting, especially on wooden frames, as these can affect both appearance and insulation . For windows, make sure they open and close smoothly without sticking, and look for signs of moisture between the panes, which can indicate a seal issue. For doors, inspect the hinges and locks to ensure they’re secure and functioning well.

Owning a condo unit in one area of the country and living in another can create some challenges when repair work is needed and you are not there to either do it yourself or oversee the working being done. We had been searching for someone to replace a damaged bathroom vanity top for over a year and then remembered hearing about Mr. Handyman. We contacted them and Steve promptly got back to us with a detailed quote. We knew what we wanted and had our tenants pick up the new vanity top and then notified Steve that they were ready for the installation. Steve made the arrangements and the new unit was installed with the room being left spotless afterwards. We were most impressed and would not hesitate to recommend the services of Mr. Handyman to others. He did not complete the invoicing until we had seen a photo of the completed work and stated that we were happy with the end result. I ok know we will be calling upon their services when needed in the future.

Mr. Handyman of SW Edmonton replaced our fence, demolish and rebuild in just 5 days. The crew was skilled, polite and efficient and cleaned up after themselves each day.

They repaired our fence in no time and it looks great! The workman who did the work was very congenial and he spent less time than was originally thought was needed and so the company reduced the price as well as giving us a senior's discount. We were very satisfied with their company and the work they did and would hire them again if needed as well as recommending them to others. Mike and Bernadette

Excellent service, work, and communication. They were able to come out even earlier than our scheduled date, and our handyman was very friendly and polite. He kept us informed on all options and the work was done quickly. I will definitely call again for other jobs.
