Your Trusted Orillia Handyman for All Property Types

For over 6 years, we’ve served Orillia’s diverse property market—from brand-new homes in growing developments like Sophia’s Landing to established family homes, from waterfront cottages along Lake Couchiching and Lake Simcoe to historic properties in downtown Orillia. This diversity is what makes Orillia unique, and we’ve built expertise across all property types.

Orillia continues to grow with significant residential developments adding thousands of new homes over the past two decades. New homeowners moving into recently completed phases need appliance installations, basement finishing, builder-grade fixture upgrades, and deck construction. Meanwhile, homeowners in earlier stages (some built 20+ years ago) require different services: renovations, system updates, accessibility modifications, and ongoing maintenance. We serve both—the family moving into Phase 12 this spring and the original Phase 1 homeowner who’s been there since the early 2000s.

Beyond the newer developments, Orillia offers beautiful waterfront properties that require specialized knowledge of lake-related challenges, historic homes in mature neighborhoods that need careful renovation, and everything in between. Some of our clients are young families upgrading builder-grade finishes, others are established homeowners renovating kitchens and bathrooms, and still others are longtime residents needing reliable help with projects they once handled themselves.

Whether you’re a new homeowner in a growing Orillia development needing basement finishing and appliance installation, an established homeowner planning a kitchen renovation, a waterfront property owner in need of deck restoration, or anywhere in between, we provide the professional, licensed, and insured handyperson services Orillia homeowners trust.

Complete Home Office Renovation

Location: Sophia's Landing Phase 8 (established home)
Homeowners: Professional couple (both remote workers, ages 42 & 45)
Timeline: 6 days
Investment Range: $11,000
What We Did:

This West Ward family's master bathroom hadn't been updated since they moved in 16 years ago and featured dated oak cabinets, cultured marble counters, and a standard tub/shower combo. We created a modern spa-like retreat: removed tub and installed large walk-in shower with frameless glass and subway tile surround, installed floating double vanity with quartz countertop, added large-format porcelain tile flooring (heated floors), upgraded to rainfall showerhead plus handheld fixture, installed modern brushed nickel fixtures throughout, improved lighting with LED mirrors and pot lights, and added built-in shower niche for storage.

Homeowner Quote:

WFH transformed our unused dining room into a beautiful dual workspace in just 6 days. The custom built-ins give us tons of storage, the lighting is perfect for video calls, and the soundproof door means we're not constantly interrupting each other. It's made working from our Orillia home so much more productive and enjoyable.

Understanding Orillia's Property Market

New Development Expertise

Orillia’s growing development adds hundreds of new homes each year. New homeowners consistently need: appliance installation (builders never include dishwashers), basement finishing (adding 500-900 sq ft of living space), builder-grade fixture upgrades (faucets, lighting, hardware), deck construction, and smart home installations. We understand new construction—proper appliance venting, finishing basements to code, and maximizing your investment.


Established Home Renovations

Homes built 10-30 years ago in Orillia’s established developments often need similar updates: outdated kitchens and bathrooms (oak cabinets, cultured marble, dated tile), builder-grade finishes requiring upgrades, aging HVAC and plumbing systems, and layout modifications for modern living. We specialize in transforming these spaces—respecting original construction while bringing them into 2025 with style and function.


Waterfront Property Considerations

Lake Couchiching and Lake Simcoe waterfront properties face unique challenges: ice damage to decks and docks (due to freeze-thaw cycles), moisture intrusion from lake humidity, seasonal property maintenance needs, and material selection for marine environments. We use marine-grade stains, proper drainage systems, ice-resistant fasteners, and materials rated for waterfront exposure. Hundreds of completed waterfront projects prove our expertise.


Multi-Phase Development Knowledge

Significant Orillia developments like Sophia’s Landing span 20+ years of construction across multiple phases. Early phases (2003-2008) feature different construction than recent builds (2018-2024): framing methods, window quality, insulation standards, and builder-grade finishes all evolved. We understand these differences, which means accurate quotes, proper repairs, and an understanding of your home’s specific needs based on its construction era.


All-Ages Service Approach

Orillia homeowners range in age from their 20s to 90s, with vastly different needs. Young families need basements finished and decks built. Established homeowners want kitchens and bathrooms renovated. Some clients need accessibility modifications. We adapt our approach to each client: patient communication for those who need it, efficient project management for busy professionals, and remote coordination for out-of-town family members. Quality service regardless of age or project type.

Master Bathroom Renovation - Established West Ward Home

Location: West Ward Orillia (home built 1998)
Property Type: Established family (ages 52 & 54, lived in home 16 years)
Timeline: 10 days
Investment Range: $16,000 - $19,000
What We Did:

This West Ward family's master bathroom hadn't been updated since they moved in 16 years ago and featured dated oak cabinets, cultured marble counters, and a standard tub/shower combo. We created a modern spa-like retreat: removed tub and installed large walk-in shower with frameless glass and subway tile surround, installed floating double vanity with quartz countertop, added large-format porcelain tile flooring (heated floors), upgraded to rainfall showerhead plus handheld fixture, installed modern brushed nickel fixtures throughout, improved lighting with LED mirrors and pot lights, and added built-in shower niche for storage.

Homeowner Quote:

After 16 years of the same boring bathroom, this renovation feels like we're in a luxury hotel! The walk-in shower is amazing, the heated floors are a game-changer in winter, and the whole space just feels so much more modern and sophisticated. Team was professional, clean, and the quality exceeded our expectations.

Michael & Sarah K., Sophia's Landing (New Homeowners)
Multiple Projects - 2024
We moved into our new Sophia's Landing home last spring and needed several projects completed. Alex installed our dishwasher, stove, and fridge, finished our basement with a rec room and additional bedroom, upgraded all our builder-grade bathroom faucets, and built a beautiful deck in our backyard. Professional work, fair pricing, and great communication throughout. Highly recommend for new homeowners!

Bathroom Renovation - October 2024
We've lived in our West Ward home for 18 years and finally decided to renovate our dated kitchen. Wallet Friendly Handyman transformed it completely—new cabinets, quartz countertops, updated lighting, and modern appliances. The project took 2 weeks and Alex kept us informed every step. Our kitchen went from 1990s builder-grade to a space we absolutely love. Worth every penny!

Waterfront Deck Rebuild - June 2024
Our Lake Couchiching cottage deck was falling apart after 20 years of lake exposure and harsh winters. Alex rebuilt it using composite decking and marine-grade materials designed for waterfront conditions. He explained why certain materials were necessary for lake properties and the result is a gorgeous, maintenance-free deck that will last decades. Expert waterfront knowledge made all the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install appliances in new Orillia homes?

Yes! Appliance installation is one of our most common services for new homeowners. We install dishwashers (builders rarely include them), refrigerators, stoves/ranges, washers, dryers, range hoods, and more. Proper installation includes leveling, connections, venting, and ensuring manufacturer warranty compliance.

Do you handle complete kitchen and bathroom renovations?

Yes, renovations are a major focus of our Orillia work. We complete full kitchen and bathroom renovations in established homes—from design consultation through final installation. This includes cabinets, countertops, tile work, plumbing, electrical, flooring, and all finishing details. Permits handled, inspections coordinated.

Do you have WSIB clearance?

Yes, we maintain current WSIB clearance certificate available upon request. This protects all Orillia homeowners from liability and is often required by HOAs and insurance companies.

Do you work in all Orillia developments?

Yes, we serve all of Orillia including Sophia's Landing (all phases), other residential developments, downtown neighborhoods, waterfront properties, and surrounding communities. We understand construction variations across different eras and builders.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes, for projects requiring permits from the City of Orillia (bathrooms, kitchens, basements, decks, electrical, plumbing), we handle all permit applications, coordinate inspections, and ensure work meets or exceeds Ontario Building Code requirements.

Can you work around my schedule?

Yes, we're flexible. For busy professionals, we can work during your work hours. For those working from home, we coordinate around your schedule. For families, we adapt to your routines. We communicate clearly about noise, access needs, and timing to minimize disruption to your life.

Can you finish my basement?

Absolutely. Basement finishing is extremely popular in Orillia's newer developments. We handle everything: framing, drywall, flooring, electrical, plumbing for bathrooms, creating bedrooms (with egress windows to code), rec rooms, wet bars, and storage. Finished basements add 500-900 sq ft of living space and increase your home's value significantly.

What's your experience with waterfront properties?

Extensive. Lake Couchiching and Lake Simcoe properties require specialized knowledge: marine-grade materials for decks, proper drainage to prevent ice damage, moisture-resistant finishes, and understanding freeze-thaw cycles. We've completed hundreds of waterfront projects including deck rebuilds, dock repairs, and lake house renovations.

How quickly can you start my project?

Most Orillia projects can start within 1-3 days for smaller work (repairs, installations, upgrades). Larger renovations (kitchens, bathrooms, basements) are typically scheduled 1-2 weeks out. Emergency repairs receive same-day or next-day response.

Can you upgrade builder-grade finishes?

Definitely. This is very common in Orillia's newer homes. Popular upgrades include: replacing basic faucets with quality fixtures, upgrading light fixtures and ceiling fans, installing better cabinet hardware, adding backsplashes, upgrading bathroom vanities, and replacing builder-grade interior doors.

What's the typical cost to finish a basement?

It varies by size and finishes: Basic finish (drywall, flooring, lighting) typically $20-$30 per sq ft. Adding bathroom adds $8,000-$12,000. Creating bedrooms with egress windows adds $3,000-$5,000 per bedroom. A 900 sq ft basement with bathroom and bedroom typically costs $22,000-$32,000 complete.

Do you offer accessibility modifications?

Yes, we help Orillia homeowners of all ages with accessibility needs: grab bar installations, walk-in showers, comfort-height toilets, improved lighting, lever handles, handrails, and widened doorways. Whether for aging-in-place or accommodating temporary mobility needs, we create safe, dignified solutions.
