Handyman Services in Winnipeg — Handy Hour

Here is what falls under this silo, and when each service is the right call:

TV Mounting — I mount your TV to the wall on the bracket of your choice. I locate studs, set the height right, and run cables through a surface raceway for a clean look. I do not do in-wall power relocation — that requires a licensed electrician. What to send for a quote: a photo of the wall plus the screen size (diagonal). Most mounts take two to three hours.

Furniture Assembly — IKEA, flat-pack, or anything that arrives in a box with instructions. I read them so you do not have to. What to send: the make and model (e.g. IKEA KALLAX 4×4, or "Billy bookcase, 80cm wide"). Most furniture assembly jobs are done in one visit.

Shelving and Blinds Installation — Floating shelves, closet organizers, curtain rods, and window blinds. Measured and level every time. What to send: a photo of the wall plus what you want to hang. Blind and curtain rod installs are often done in under an hour per window.

Caulking and Weatherstripping — Bathroom caulk, kitchen caulk, door and window weatherstripping. In Winnipeg winters a drafty door or a cracked seal costs you real money in heat. I bring common weatherstripping sizes and cut to fit on site. Best booked in September or October before the cold sets in.

Grab Bars and Home Safety — Grab bars in the shower or by the toilet, mounted into studs or with proper toggle anchors. A job that matters a lot for seniors staying in their home. What to send: a photo of the bathroom with the tile or wall type visible. Mounted into studs these take under an hour per bar.

What is out of scope in this silo: Electrical work of any kind (including ceiling fan installation, light fixture swaps, outlet changes), plumbing, gas appliances. These require a licensed trade in Manitoba. If a job turns out to involve any of those, I will tell you straight.

Send me a photo or describe the job — I reply with a quote. No charge for the quote, no obligation to book.

1. Email a photo of the TV, the shelving space, the window with the blinds, or whatever needs doing.
2. I reply with a clear price.
3. I send you available times and you pick one that fits your schedule.

For caulking and weatherstripping, tell me: how many windows, how many door frames, any bathroom caulk work needed?

I work alone. When I show up, I am the one doing the work — not sending a sub-contractor. Jobs in this silo are typically a few hours, sometimes less. I will tell you what I need from you beforehand (move the furniture, have the bracket ready, etc.) so the visit goes smoothly.

If a job turns out to involve electrical work — say, you want in-wall power relocation for the TV — I will let you know that is not something I handle. I can point you to a licensed electrician for that part, and come back to finish the rest.
