Handyman

The jobs that pile up when nobody in the house can safely climb a ladder any more. One visit usually clears months of them.

Service options

Pick the ones that matter for your parent when you book. You can choose several, and you can change them next time.

  • Light bulbs, including ceiling fixtures and awkward fittings

  • Pictures, mirrors and shelves hung properly

  • Curtain rods, blinds and window coverings

  • Grab rails and handrails fitted for bathroom and stair safety

  • Minor repairs such as sticking doors, loose handles, running toilets and dripping taps

  • Smoke and carbon-monoxide alarm batteries tested and changed

  • Furnace filters, weather stripping and draught-proofing before winter

  • TV, lamps and cables tidied and made safe underfoot

Not every provider offers every option. Once you have chosen, we show you the vetted providers near your parent who offer what you picked, best matches first, with the iCaria Certified badge shown where it has been earned. Which one comes is always your decision, and you can keep asking for the same person.

Who this is for

Parents living alone in a house that is slowly getting away from them, and families who live too far away to come and do it themselves.

Good to know

Small jobs only. Anything requiring a licensed electrician, plumber or gas fitter, or any structural work, is out of scope. The provider will tell you plainly rather than attempt it.

What it costs

This service starts at $45 in Canadian dollars, which covers getting there and the first part of the visit. Longer visits add a set charge for each extra 15 minutes, with a cap. A short visit is never charged more than the starting price.

That is a sample. Your parent's real price depends on their area and on the options you choose for the service, and you see it in the platform before you confirm anything.

Families also include these in their care plan

Most families do not book one service on its own. They build a monthly care plan, a few services on a regular rhythm, so their parent knows what to expect and the same trusted people keep coming back.
