Handyman Services in Crete

Typical handyman jobs I do in Cretan homes

Sun, salt, wind and winter rain take their toll on every property. These are jobs I do almost every week:

• Painting walls, ceilings, shutters and outdoor railings
• Repairing and replacing floor and wall tiles, also on terraces
• Fixing doors, windows, shutters, locks and fly screens
• Waterproofing flat roofs and terraces before the winter
• Plastering cracks and repairing walls after a leak or new cables
• Assembling and hanging furniture, shelves, mirrors and curtain rails

Small jobs or a full renovation

For a larger project I come to look, discuss what you want and give you a clear plan with a fixed price. During the work you get regular photos, so you can follow it from abroad. Because I do the plumbing, electrics and finishing myself, there are no gaps between trades and no days lost waiting for someone else.

Property maintenance for holiday homes and rentals

A house that stands empty for months needs attention. Shutters seize, damp creeps into walls, the pool area gets dirty and small problems become big ones. With my property maintenance I check your house at agreed moments, open and air it, test water, electrics and A/C, and do the small repairs straight away.

For rental owners and managers I fit repairs around the booking calendar and can be called when guests report a problem. You get a short report with photos after each visit, so you always know the state of your property, wherever you are.

Before the season I can also take care of the bigger preparations in one go: pressure cleaning the terraces and pool surround, touching up outdoor paint, oiling hinges and shutters, checking the roof and gutters after the winter, and replacing worn seals and fly screens. Combined with a cleaning of the A/C units and a quick test of the water heater, the house is ready for the first guests without last-minute surprises.
