Your Handyman in Highgate
Highgate sits around Highgate Village, the shopping centre near Kingsway and Edmonds Street, between Edmonds and Burnaby’s south slope.
It’s a mix of mid-rise and high-rise condos close to Kingsway and townhouse complexes on quieter streets, many from the 1990s and early 2000s.
Most of our work in Highgate happens in condos and townhouses. That means elevator bookings, building rules about noise and working hours, concrete or steel-stud walls, and compact rooms where every shelf and cabinet needs to earn its space.
Send us your list and we’ll handle the whole thing in one visit: TVs mounted, furniture built, holes patched, doors adjusted and touch-ups done, with the hallway protected and the mess taken away.

How a Visit Runs in Highgate
Highgate visits are usually short and full: a list of six or eight jobs in one suite or townhouse. We plan the order so drywall compound dries while we assemble furniture or fit trim, then come back to sand and paint before we leave.
Local tip for Highgate
If you’re putting in new flooring, have the baseboards taken off before the installers arrive and reinstalled after. It looks far better than quarter-round over old trim.
Typical lists
What a Highgate Visit Often Looks Like
Three lists we see again and again. Yours will be different, and that’s fine.
The move-in list
Mount the TV, hang two floating shelves, build a bed frame and a wardrobe, put up curtain rods in the bedroom and anchor the dresser. A typical first week in a new Highgate suite.
The move-out list
Patch the anchor holes from the TV and shelves, touch up scuffed walls, re-caulk the tub, adjust the closet doors and tighten loose handles before the inspection.
The catch-up list
Fix the door that won’t latch, replace damaged baseboard by the entry, hang the mirror that has leaned against the wall since spring and paint the hallway.

FAQ
Handyman Questions in Highgate
Do you work in strata buildings in Highgate?
Yes. Most of our Highgate work is in strata buildings. We follow the building’s rules for elevator bookings and working hours. Check with your strata or property manager about any notice your building needs.
Can you drill into concrete walls in a Highgate tower?
Yes, with masonry anchors and a hammer drill. Some buildings ask owners for permission first, so we suggest checking with your property manager before the visit.
