  4. You pay once the job’s done and signed off.

How many jobs, the biggest one, access, timing. You get a block of time at a fixed figure, and extra time is agreed before it’s done. Each job gets a line and a photo, so the right tools turn up.

What moves the price

Number of jobs, biggest job and materials each add time on their own, so two jobs that differ in one answer differ in price by exactly that answer. The rest scale the whole job:

TypeAgainst “General repairs”: Assembly & mounting ×0.92, Finish carpentry ×1.30.
AccessAgainst “Easy”: Awkward ×1.18, Ladder or crawlspace ×1.37.
WhenAgainst “Whenever”: This week ×1.08, Today or tomorrow ×1.25.

The job minimum is $207. Below that, you pay the minimum.

  • Tools, fixings and small consumables
  • A written note of what was done

Questions

How much does handyman cost in Vancouver?

For the jobs in the table, $207 to $1,057 before GST in 2026. The exact figure depends on your answers on the card above; you see it before you book, and it doesn’t change on the day unless you change the job.

Is GST included?

Prices are before GST (5%). Pay by bank transfer after the work, or by card at 3% more. Nothing is charged until the job is done and signed off.

What counts as one job?

Roughly one thing: a TV mounted, a door adjusted, a shelf up, a patch of drywall. Pick the number and how big the biggest one is.

Can they do plumbing or electrical?

Small like-for-like swaps, yes. Alterations, gas and anything needing a permit go to a licensed trade — we’ll say so before we confirm rather than after.

Do I supply materials?

Either. Pick “We supply” and materials are billed at cost with the receipt.
