Knowledge from the crew.
Written between jobs.
Local Metro Vancouver handyman knowledge: what we see, what fails most, how to decide when to call.
What is this blog for?
Straight answers to the questions we get asked on site, written by the crew that does the work. Whether a cedar deck needs repair or restoration, what a strata council should ask before hiring, when a job stops being handyman work and needs a licensed trade. No price lists, because every job reads differently once you see it, but enough detail to know what you are looking at before you call.
