What we do
Thirty years means I've done most of it. These are the jobs I get called for most β but if what you need isn't listed, ask anyway.

No job is priced off a chart. Tell me what you need, I'll come and look, and you'll get a straight number β and a fair one. Working on my own keeps my overhead low, and that shows up in the quote.

How it goes
Tell me what you're thinking. I'll say straight away whether it's something I do, and roughly what's involved.
Free, usually under an hour. Measuring, a proper look at what's behind things, and an honest read on what the job actually needs.
In writing, itemised, with anything uncertain called out up front so nothing lands on you as a surprise later.
Same person every day, start to finish. Tools packed up and the floor swept before I leave each evening.
Anything not right gets put right before you settle up. If something turns up later, call me β I answer my own phone.
Reviews
They quoted us in writing and the final invoice matched to the dollar. After three bad contractor experiences, that alone was worth it.
Ian caught a rotted joist nobody else spotted on the walkthrough. Fixed it, showed me the photos, adjusted the schedule and still finished on time.
Great work β quick, quality craftsmanship and pleasant to deal with.
Ian Virta β owner.
About
I'm Ian Virta. I've been on the tools for over thirty years and I work alone β no subcontractors, no office. The person who quotes your job is the person who shows up and does it.
I'm a handyman in the old sense of the word: a jack of all trades. Flooring, bathrooms, basements, roofing, and most of what falls between. Thirty years teaches you how a house actually goes together, which is usually what separates a repair that holds from one you'll be calling about again next spring.
I'm Indigenous, and I've built this on repeat customers and word of mouth across southern Ontario. Call me and you'll get me β not a call centre, not an account manager. If a job isn't something I'd do well, I'll tell you that too.
