Handyman in Greytown

What we do in Greytown
Everything on our services list travels to Greytown. Where Greytown is a little different is the sheer number of older and heritage homes, with sash windows, weatherboard, verandahs and decorative trim, that need someone who'll repair them sympathetically rather than rip and replace.
Bryan started out as a carpentry apprentice, then spent around 30 years in IT service management, so the character detail matters to him. If it can be repaired properly, we'll repair it properly.

Greytown's heritage homes
Greytown has one of the best-preserved Victorian main streets in the country, and that character runs through the housing stock: weatherboard villas and cottages, timber joinery, verandahs and finials that don't come in a flat-pack. These homes need maintenance that respects how they were built: sash cords and sills, weatherboard and scriber repairs, re-hung doors, and paint prep that keeps water out of the timber.
Get on top of it early and a heritage home stays sound and looks the part. Leave it, and the repairs get a lot bigger, and a lot more expensive.
