Services
Two flooring and tile services — here is what each involves and when each is the right call:
Laminate and Vinyl Plank Installation — Floating laminate or luxury vinyl plank (LVP) installation in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and basements. I handle the full sequence: pulling up old flooring, checking and prepping the subfloor, installing underlayment, laying the click-lock planks, and fitting transitions and quarter-round at the edges. What to send: a photo of the room plus the approximate square footage. When you need it: when existing flooring is worn, damaged, or simply dated — and you want a one-day or two-day install that improves how the room feels immediately.
Backsplash and Tile Regrouting — Kitchen and bathroom backsplash tile installation, and regrouting old tile that has cracked, stained, or deteriorated. Fresh grout makes old tile look new. What to send: a wide photo of the tile area and a close-up of the grout condition. When you need it: when grout is cracking, staining badly, or growing mould that does not scrub out; or when you are doing a kitchen refresh and want a new backsplash behind the stove or counter.
What is out of scope for a solo operator: Large whole-home flooring installations across multiple rooms in a single week, heated floor system installation, full bathroom floor tile installs over large areas (I do backsplash and spot tile — full wet-area floor installations are a bigger scope), or hardwood floor sanding and finishing (that requires specialized equipment I do not carry).
How Quoting Works
Send me photos of the room and tell me the square footage if you know it. For tile work, show me the existing tile and grout condition.
- Email a photo of the floor or tile area plus square footage.
- I reply with a price.
- I send you available times and you pick one.
What affects the quote: room size, subfloor condition (mention any squeaks or soft spots), whether you are supplying the flooring or want me to source it, and for tile work — size of the area and condition of the existing substrate.
Call (888) 906-0022 or email [email protected] to get started.

What to Expect
Flooring installation is dusty and involves moving furniture. I will tell you what the room needs to look like before I arrive. Subfloor issues (squeaks, soft spots, unevenness) can affect the quote — mention them when you contact me.
For large whole-home flooring projects across multiple rooms, you may want a flooring company with a crew. I work well on individual rooms and smaller areas where a solo operator makes sense and saves you money over a big company.

I don't do **electrical work** — not even light fixtures, outlets, or ceiling fans. I don't do **plumbing** — not even faucets, toilets, or dishwasher hookups. No **gas work**, no **HVAC**, and no **asbestos removal**. In Manitoba, those trades require a licence and there's no exemption for a handyman working on someone else's property. I'm happy to point you to the right licensed trade for any of those jobs. What a handyman can and cannot do in Manitoba →
