If it’s broken in your home, chances are we can fix it. Call (236) 880-8768 to describe your project.

Do you offer same-day service?

+

Same-day service depends on our current schedule and your location. Call (236) 880-8768 in the morning for the best chance of same-day service.

Are you licensed and insured?

+

Absolutely. Eddy Property Services carries full commercial liability insurance and WorkSafeBC coverage. This protects you and your property if accidents happen during our work.

We can provide proof of insurance upon request before starting any project. Never hire a handyman without verifying they carry proper insurance.

Do you offer free estimates?

+

Yes, we provide free quotes for all projects. For smaller jobs, we can often give you an accurate estimate over the phone based on your description and photos. For larger or more complex projects, we’ll visit your property to assess the work and provide a detailed written estimate.

You’re never obligated to proceed after receiving a quote. We want you to feel confident about the pricing before we start.

Pricing & Payment Questions

How much do handyman services cost in Burnaby?

+

Our pricing depends on the type and complexity of the work:

Simple repairs: $80-$150 (minor fixes, small installations)
Medium projects: $150-$300 (furniture assembly, TV mounting, small repairs)
Larger projects: $300-$600+ (deck repairs, fence installation, multiple tasks)

We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. What we quote is what you pay—no surprise charges.

Do you charge by the hour or by the project?

+

It depends on the job. Simple, straightforward tasks often get flat-rate pricing (like TV mounting or furniture assembly). More complex projects may be quoted hourly or as a project total depending on scope.

We’ll always explain our pricing structure before starting work so you know exactly what to expect.

What payment methods do you accept?

+

We accept:

  • Cash
  • E-transfer (Interac)
  • Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex)
  • Debit cards
  • Cheque

Payment is due upon completion unless other arrangements have been made for larger multi-day projects.

Do you require a deposit?

+

For most single-day projects, no deposit is required. Payment is due when the work is completed.

For larger multi-day projects or jobs requiring significant material purchases upfront, we may request a deposit (typically 25-50%). This will be discussed and agreed upon before starting work.

Monday-Friday: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM

We also offer evening appointments by arrangement for customers who can’t be home during regular business hours.

How far in advance do I need to book?

+

For non-urgent work, we recommend booking 3-7 days in advance. This gives us time to schedule efficiently and ensures we can accommodate your preferred date and time.

For same-day or next-day service, call us as early in the day as possible at (236) 880-8768. We’ll do our best to fit you in.

Do I need to be home during the service?

+

It depends on the project and your comfort level. Many customers provide access instructions (lockbox code, doorman, garage code) and we work while they’re at work. We’ll text updates and photos as we go.

For larger projects or first-time customers, many prefer to be home at least at the start to show us around and discuss the work.

  • Quick repairs: 30 minutes – 1 hour (tightening fixtures, minor fixes)

  • Drywall repair: 2-4 hours plus drying time
