Small repairs take one to two hours. Large repairs take more time. We cut out the damage. Then we install a new patch. Then we apply joint compound. Then we sand the surface. Then we paint the wall.

- Pay for two hours of labor for small holes.
- Pay for four hours or more for large patches.
- Add the cost of materials like mud and tape.

Faucet and Fixture Installation
Leaky faucets waste water. Old fixtures look dated. Replace them to save money and improve your home. We install kitchen faucets. We install bathroom fixtures. We serve Burnaby and Richmond.
A standard faucet swap takes about one to two hours. We turn off the water. Then we disconnect the old supply lines. Then we remove the old faucet. Then we clean the mounting surface. Then we install the new fixture. Then we test for leaks.
Budgeting for plumbing fixtures:
- Pay $120 for the first hour.
- Pay $85 if the job takes longer.
- Buy your own faucet or ask us to pick one up.
TV Mounting and Smart Home Setup
Mounting a TV saves space. It makes your living room look modern. We mount TVs in Yaletown condos. We mount TVs in North Vancouver homes.
Standard mounting takes two hours. We locate the wall studs. Then we mark the holes. Then we level the bracket. Then we drill the holes. Then we mount the TV. Then we hide the cables.
Smart home devices also take time. We install smart doorbells. We set up smart thermostats. We install smart locks.
Budgeting for electronics:
- Pay for two hours for a basic TV mount.
- Pay for three hours if you want cables hidden in the wall.
- Pay for one hour per smart device setup.
Repair vs. Replace Decisions
You must decide whether to fix or buy new.
Fix your door if it squeaks or sticks. Replace your door if the wood is rotten. Fix your faucet if it has a small drip. Replace your faucet if the finish is ruined. Fix your fence if a few boards are loose. Replace your fence if the posts are leaning.
We give honest advice. We help you save money. We serve Main St and South Main St.
