Pricing and Payment Questions

How much do handyman services cost in Burnaby?

+

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

Simple repairs: $80 to $150 for minor fixes and small installations
Medium projects: $150 to $300 for furniture assembly, TV mounting, and small repairs
Larger projects: $300 to $600 and up for deck repairs, fence installation, and 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, such as TV mounting or furniture assembly. More complex projects may be quoted hourly or as a project total depending on scope.

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

What payment methods do you accept?

+

We accept the following payment methods:

  • 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 of typically 25 to 50 percent. This will be discussed and agreed upon before starting work.
