No Job too Small
Thunder Bay Handyman
Jon handles the small stuff. Reliably, honestly, and with care for your home.
The dripping faucet. The lightbulb you can't reach. The door that won't latch right. The towel bar that pulled out of the wall six months ago. Each one is small. Together, they wear on you.
Jon Elrick has been doing honest, hands-on work for over 20 years. He isn't here for kitchen gut-jobs or bathroom renovations. He works with homeowners (especially people who live alone) who just need a safe, honest, respectable and reliable person to come by, get a few things done properly, and leave the place in better shape than they found it.
No mess. No upsell. No job too small.

You need a quote for a multi-week project
Services

High & Hard-to-Reach
Lightbulbs, smoke detector batteries, ceiling fan swaps — anything that needs a 6’4” man and a ladder.

Doors, Locks & Handles
Stiff locks, loose doorknobs, doors that won't close right, deadbolts that need replacing. The everyday stuff that makes your home feel secure.

Hanging & Mounting
Curtain rods, mirrors, shelves, picture frames, grab bars, TV mounts. Safe, level, anchored properly — not just good enough.

Leaky faucets, running toilets, and showerhead swaps. Not full plumbing work — just the everyday nuisances that shouldn't be ignored.

Jonathan came on short notice which was my major need. He repaired a challenging problem and the cost was responsible. I would definitely recommend this service to whoever needs help with work around the house.

Jon did a fantastic job of cleaning out the leaves in our gutters. He even climbed up on the roof and washed out the gutters. We would highly recommend him.
