Where We Work Across Canberra
Our service area covers the entire Canberra metro and the surrounding region. Whether you're in a 1960s brick veneer in Woden Valley, a newer home in Gungahlin, a terrace in Kingston, or a property in Queanbeyan, we can reach you. Every job gets the same approach: straight quote upfront, fixed price, work done properly the first time.
Canberra's housing stock spans six decades and varies significantly by district. The older inner suburbs -- Inner South, Inner North, and Woden Valley -- have homes with settled frames, timber that needs attention, and maintenance backlogs that build up over time. The newer areas -- Gungahlin, Molonglo Valley -- have different demands: installations, carpentry fit-out, and early-stage maintenance. We're set up for both.
Queanbeyan and its growth corridors (Googong, Jerrabomberra) are a priority service area. Despite being just across the ACT border in NSW, these are effectively part of the Canberra housing market and are close enough that we service them regularly.

What We Do
We cover the full range of handyman and property maintenance services for homes and investment properties across the ACT. Below is the complete list. If your job is not here, call and ask -- we'll tell you straight whether it's within scope.
Doors and Locks
Door repairs and rehang, lock installation, deadbolts, screen door repairs, sliding door adjustments, door hardware replacement. One of the most common calls we get across all Canberra suburbs -- sticking and misaligned doors are a fact of life in the ACT climate.
Painting and Wall Repairs
Interior and exterior painting, ceiling repaints, wall patching, plaster crack repairs, hole filling. Surfaces prepared properly before painting. Single rooms, full repaints, pre-sale touch-ups, between-tenancy repaints.
Carpentry and Timber Repairs
Shelving installation, deck maintenance, skirting boards and architraves, handrails, timber trim, flat-pack furniture assembly, minor structural timber repairs. Handyman-level carpentry -- we refer out anything requiring a licensed builder and say so upfront.
Deck Maintenance and Restoration
Deck cleaning, oiling, board replacement, structural checks, handrail repairs. ACT decks take a beating -- summer UV, winter frost cycles, the leaf drop. Most timber decks in Canberra need attention every two to three years to stay in good condition.
Gutter clearing, downpipe flushing, minor gutter repairs. Autumn across all Canberra suburbs means leaf drop from mature street trees -- gutters fill fast between March and June. Single-storey residential properties serviced. We report back on what we find.
Pressure Washing and Driveway Cleaning
Driveways, paths, patios, brick paving, fences, outdoor furniture. Canberra's climate -- particularly the cold damp winters and UV summers -- builds up grime and biological growth on outdoor surfaces quickly.
Tile and Grout Repairs
Cracked or loose tiles, grout repointing, tile replacement. Kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and outdoor paving tiles up to a reasonable scope. Full bathroom renovations are outside our scope and we'll say so.
General Maintenance and Installations
Driveways, paths, patios, brick paving, fences, outdoor furniture. Canberra's climate -- particularly the cold damp winters and UV summers -- builds up grime and biological growth on outdoor surfaces quickly.
Pre- and post-tenancy maintenance, exit report items, routine property upkeep. One visit, one invoice, multiple items cleared. We work with landlords and property managers across the ACT and the Queanbeyan corridor.
Why Canberra Homeowners Use Us
Based in the ACT -- not based elsewhere and driving in
We operate out of Torrens, ACT 2607. Every part of Canberra and the Queanbeyan corridor is within our regular service area. No travel surcharges. Faster response. A team that knows the ACT housing stock.
Fixed price on every job -- quoted before we start
Free quote upfront. The price we give is the price on the invoice. We do not quote $150 and bill $280 because it took longer. What you're told is what you pay.
Fully insured and police cleared
Public liability insurance on every job. ACT Working with Vulnerable People registration held. You're covered if anything goes wrong.
Work done to last -- not patched to get through an inspection
The consistent feedback is that our work holds up. We do not cut corners to move on to the next job. A repair that fails in six months is not a repair -- it's a delay.
