The small things that quietly drive you crazy. A faucet that won't stop dripping, a door that catches on the frame, a cabinet hinge that sags a little more every month. - [Painting Services](https://www.summit-handyman.ca/services/painting): Prep-first painting that looks clean later. Clean lines, no drips on the trim, no roller marks on the ceiling. I use quality paints like Benjamin Moore Regal or Sherwin-Williams Emerald when the scope calls for them, and I put the time into the prep that makes the finish hold up: caulking, sanding, priming, and floors protected before the first can opens.. - [Drywall Repair](https://www.summit-handyman.ca/services/drywall-repair): Patches that do not announce themselves later. Patch a hole. Fix the crack that keeps coming back. - [Electrical Work](https://www.summit-handyman.ca/services/electrical): Clean fixture swaps and lighting upgrades. Light fixtures, dimmers, ceiling fans, and under-cabinet lighting. Permitted electrical or anything beyond the homeowner-allowed scope goes to a licensed electrician, but for swap-and-install fixture work in Lower Mainland homes, I get it done clean. - [Smart Home Devices](https://www.summit-handyman.ca/services/smart-home): Set up once. Works the way it should. Smart-home devices that look easy in the box almost always come with a wiring quirk, an app handoff, or a pairing detail that turns a 30-minute job into a Saturday. I handle the install end to end: mount it, wire it, pair it to your phone, confirm it actually works, and walk you through it. - [Cabinets](https://www.summit-handyman.ca/services/cabinets): Doors aligned, hardware tight, drawers gliding. I hang new cabinets level and plumb, realign sagging doors, replace tired hinges with soft-close upgrades, and swap dated pulls and knobs across an entire kitchen in a single visit. I do cabinet work for kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, and laundry across Langley, Surrey, White Rock, Aldergrove, Abbotsford, and Cloverdale. - [Countertops](https://www.summit-handyman.ca/services/countertops): Surfaces that sit flat, seal clean, and stay put. I install supplied countertop slabs, level them, secure them to the cabinet boxes, and finish the seams clean. Laminate, butcher block, prefab quartz, and IKEA tops are the regular menu. - [Backsplashes](https://www.summit-handyman.ca/services/backsplashes): My specialty. Lines so tight they look poured. Backsplashes are where I do my best work. The cuts around outlets stay crisp. - [Tile & Flooring](https://www.summit-handyman.ca/services/tile-flooring): Square lines, tight transitions, clean finish. Bathroom floors, shower tile, laminate planks, and engineered hardwood. I check the subfloor, lay the underlayment right, keep the lines square, and finish the grout clean. - [Assembly & Mounting](https://www.summit-handyman.ca/services/assembly-mounting): Mounted level. Anchored properly. TV mounted level. Heavy mirror anchored into studs. - [Pressure Washing](https://www.summit-handyman.ca/services/pressure-washing): Moss and grime removed without wrecking the surface. Driveways, decks, siding, fences. Years of Pacific Northwest moss and grime washed off the right way: no etched concrete, no gouged wood. - [Fence & Deck](https://www.summit-handyman.ca/services/fence-deck): Outdoor wood ready for another season. Refinish a tired deck. Replace rotted boards. - [Home Safety Solutions](https://www.summit-handyman.ca/services/home-safety): Safety installs that actually hold. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors installed and tested to BC code. Childproofing that actually holds: cabinet locks, outlet covers, and gates anchored properly.
