Your local handyman for Cochrane
Cochrane sits just west of Calgary in the Bow River valley, and I drive out there for the same kind of jobs I do in the city: the small and medium repairs that are too small for a contractor and too fiddly to leave for another weekend.
I work in communities across town, including Heritage Hills, GlenEagles, Fireside, Heartland, Sunset Ridge and Bow Meadows. One person shows up, does the work and cleans up after. No crew of strangers, no subcontracting.
I'm Vitalii Nestorenko. I hold a master's degree in mechanical engineering, so I look for the reason something failed instead of covering it up. The business is registered and carries commercial liability insurance.
What Cochrane homeowners usually call me for
Move-in punch lists
Curtain rods, blinds, shelves, TV mounts, door hardware: the list that builds up after you get the keys. I bring the anchors and the stud finder and do it in one visit where possible. See move-in repairs.
Weather-related fixes
Chinook swings from freezing to mild and back are hard on caulking, weatherstripping and doors. A door that sticks in January is usually a hinge or a strike plate, not a new door. More in why doors stick in winter.
Fall and spring prep
Shutting off and draining outdoor taps, re-caulking tubs and windows, small deck and fence repairs before the season. See how to winterize outdoor taps.
Fixtures on existing connections
Faucets, toilets, light fixtures, switches and outlets replaced on the wiring and plumbing you already have. New circuits and permit work go to a licensed electrician or plumber, and I will tell you when that is the case.
Home bars and kegerators in Cochrane
Besides general repairs, I set up home bars: kegerator assembly, draft towers through a counter, CO2 and beer lines, and line cleaning. I'm a professional brewer with 8+ years in the trade (Certified Cicerone, IBD General Certificate in Brewing), so the first pint pours the way it should.
