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.

Who Jon works with

This is for you if:

  • You live alone, and there's no one around to help with the small stuff

  • You have a list of little fixes you haven't been able to get to

  • You want someone you can actually trust in your home

  • You've called bigger contractors and been told the job is too small

  • You need things done safely and correctly — not just quickly

If you're not sure whether your job is a fit, just reach out. Jon would rather tell you up front than waste your time.

This is NOT for you if:

  • You need a full bathroom or kitchen renovation

  • You're looking for new construction or large-scale carpentry

  • You're managing commercial or rental property work

  • 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.

  • Drips & Small Plumbing

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

  • Patching & Touch-Ups

    Holes from old picture hooks, small drywall patches, scuffs, and paint touch-ups. The small things that make a space feel cared-for again.

  • Outdoor Odds & Ends

    Gutter cleaning, screen repair, minor fence fixes — the stuff that piles up outside and gets ignored because it's a bit of a hassle.

Simple, honest booking

Most jobs fit into one or two hours. Book a Repair Visit, tell Jon what needs doing, and he'll work through as much as possible during your visit.

    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.
