Handyman, Trades ​/ Skilled Labor, Maintenance Worker

We take care of the rest.

Our members trust us with the small jobs around their homes: a door that sticks, trim to put up, a hole in the drywall, caulking to redo, a shelf to install. We're looking for someone handy and reliable to do them the way we'd do them at our own place.

Just an example to give you an idea: the times between stops vary from day to day.

The night before

Tomorrow's schedule is already on your phone: addresses, planned work, the client's notes. No surprises.

8 a.m.

You leave home in the van and head straight to your first client. No detour through a garage.

First stop

mblay's in Rosemont: the bedroom door sticks and the kitchen trim is coming loose. You protect the floor, adjust, reglue, clean up. You take your photos in the app, she signs, and you move on to the next one.

Second stop

A hole in the basement drywall in Hochelaga. You patch it and let the client know you'll be back the next day for the sanding.

Noon

Lunch.

Afternoon

At a Club member's home, you take care of the small jobs flagged during their inspection: caulking the tub, tightening handles, securing shelves. You note anything you noticed along the way: the office will follow up.

Something unexpected?

The client asks for something that wasn't planned. You call the call centre, which checks and adjusts. You don't have to haggle over a price on the doorstep.

4 p.m.

Day done. You head home with the van. Your report is done in the app, your photos too. Your evening is yours.

Your trade

• A variety of small jobs in the homes of our clients and members: repairing, adjusting, installing, assembling, caulking, redoing finishes
• A different home every day, in your area
• The work flagged during Club inspections, so the promises made to members are kept
• Your reports and photos in our app, on your phone

Selling, quoting, finding clients, managing your schedule. And no electrical or plumbing work: that's not our trade.
