Handyman and property maintenance in Gouves, Gournes and Kokkini Hani

Around Gouves the handyman work comes from two directions. On one side are the holiday complexes and apartments at Kato Gouves, where owners and managers need things repaired, repainted and refreshed between seasons. On the other side are the people who live here all year: families in Gouves, Gournes and Kokkini Hani, and foreign residents who chose this quieter stretch of coast.

Both groups have the same wish: one reliable person who turns up when agreed and finishes the job properly. A flaking terrace wall, a sticking sliding door, a cracked tile by the pool, a roof that lets in water after the first autumn rain. Small things, but they add up when the house is used every day or rented out.

I come from Hersonissos, about 15 minutes along the coast road. Because I am also a certified plumber, electrician and HVAC technician, I can deal with what is behind the wall as well, so a repair is done once and done right.

Handyman services I offer in Gouves

Property maintenance: seasonal checks for villa complexes and for owners who live abroad.

Painting: terrace walls, railings and interiors refreshed before the season.

Pressure cleaning: terraces, pool surrounds and paths cleaned before guests or summer arrive.

Roof waterproofing: flat roofs and terraces sealed before the winter rain.

Tiling: cracked or loose tiles around pools, terraces and bathrooms replaced.

Doors and windows: sliding doors, shutters and locks that stick or no longer close well.

Carpentry: pergolas, cupboards and wooden repairs for family homes.

Renovations: updating an older village house or an apartment, with all trades in one hand.

Before and after the season in Gouves

For holiday apartments and complexes, the weeks before summer and after it are the moments to get things right. A typical spring or autumn round includes:

Pressure cleaning terraces, paths and the area around the pool

Touching up paint on walls, railings and shutters

Checking and sealing flat roofs before the rain

Fixing doors, locks and fly screens

A quick technical check of pumps, water heaters and A/C

Year-round homes and renovations

For families who live in Gouves all year, I am the handyman who can do more than paint and assemble. When you want to modernise a bathroom, open up a kitchen or turn an outbuilding into a room, I plan the order of the work and carry out the plumbing, electrics, tiling and finishing myself.

If you live abroad and rent out your home, I can work with your key holder or the complex manager and send you photos at every step, so you always know how far the work is.

For the bigger jobs I give you a written quote with a fixed price and a realistic timeline. I would rather tell you at the start that a renovation takes a few weeks than promise a date I cannot keep. Smaller tasks I plan around the season, so a rental is never closed longer than needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can a handyman come to Gouves?

Most handyman jobs in Gouves I can plan within a few days. The area is about 15 minutes from Hersonissos, so I often combine your job with other work nearby.

Do you charge extra for travel to Gouves for small jobs?

Gouves is very close to my base, so travel barely counts. Still, a short list of jobs is the most efficient way to use a visit, and you get a fixed price before I start.

Can you look after our holiday apartment in Kato Gouves while we are abroad?

Yes. I can do regular checks, small repairs and seasonal maintenance, and keep you updated with photos and messages.

Do you offer maintenance for villa complexes in Gouves?

Yes. I can agree a plan with the owners' association or manager, with visits before and after the season and a single contact for repairs during the year.

Can you fix a leaking flat roof in Gournes?

Yes. I find where the water gets in, repair cracks and joints and apply a waterproof coating, ideally before the winter rain starts.

Can you help quickly if a door or window will not close?

A door or window that will not lock is a security issue, so I try to come as soon as possible, often the same day.
