Welcome to the simple way to fix your home. Living in a Vancouver condo involves specific rules. You own the space inside your walls. The strata corporation owns the rest. This guide helps you navigate repairs.
Identify your responsibility
Start by checking your strata plan, then read your bylaws. You usually maintain everything inside your unit. This includes flooring, cabinets, and appliances. The strata maintains common property like hallways and exterior walls. Use a handyman for tasks inside your four walls.
Select the right tasks
A handyman handles non-structural jobs. Choose a handyman for these common condo repairs:
- Mount your television or artwork.
- Repair small holes in your drywall, then sand and paint.
- Replace your kitchen faucet or bathroom showerhead.
- Install new light fixtures or ceiling fans.
- Assemble furniture for your bedroom or office.
- Fix loose cabinet hinges or door handles.
- Install shelving in your closets.
- Change your door locks or deadbolts.
Avoid hiring a handyman for major electrical panels. Do not use a handyman for gas lines. Call a specialist for structural wall changes.
Navigate strata rules
Most stratas require contractors to have insurance. Randall The Handyman carries full liability coverage. We maintain WorkSafeBC compliance. This protects you and your building. Check with your strata council before starting work. Submit your request, then wait for written approval. Start your project once you have the green light.
