The 5 Best Handyman Services in Edmonton, Time-Tested & Trusted by Homeowners
I once tried installing new shelves in my living room. Two hours later, there were more holes in the wall than shelves, and my friends still laugh about it.
Home projects can look simple until they’re not. That’s when I learned it’s better to call someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
Here are the best handyman services in Edmonton that make repairs look as easy as YouTube tutorials claim they are.
How much does it cost to hire a handyman in Edmonton?
Handyman services in Edmonton cost between $50 and $120 per hour, depending on the type of job and the handyman’s experience. Small repairs cost around $80 to $150 total, while larger projects can range from $200 to $800 or more.
1. Handyman Reality
Address: 5328 Calgary Trl NW #1554
Phone: +1 (780) 707-5558
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
I talked to someone who worked with Handyman Reality for a few small household projects, and what stood out immediately was Don Moody’s skill set.
He’s a third-year plumbing apprentice but also has experience with appliance repair and even cellphone repair. That range of experience, I’d say, makes it easy to trust that he can handle all sorts of jobs.
According to him, Don helped with furniture assembly and even fixed plumbing issues just like the best plumbers would handle them. It showed how versatile he is.
The work was solid, especially the plumbing repair. He worked efficiently and finished everything on schedule.
Handyman Reality takes on a mix of jobs, including toilet repairs, electrical fixes, and sink or faucet replacements. They also handle door lock changes, which is pretty handy for security.
The only recurring complaint was about communication. Scheduling appointments can take a bit longer, and clients might need to follow up once or twice. It’s not a big problem, but something to keep in mind if you have a tight schedule.
Experience, reliable, and approachable
“Don is very experienced handyman. Two of my previous handyman couldn’t fix my mesh door, but he fixed it within five minutes. He is easily approachable. No delays. He comes at the exact time or earlier and finishes the work within estimated time. I always call him for my repair or new installation. His charge is reasonable for his skill.”

Knowledgeable, reliable, and versatile
“Don Moody is our “jack of all trades” professional who has handled a variety of household repairs and tasks for us over the past 5 years. Plumbing issues (including coming to help me during an “emergency” water leak with my fridge), electrical and general household repairs and set up. Don built our kids beds (including a difficult bunk bed with drawers), installed a dog door, and fixed many items in our house and yard over the years. We are not “handy” people so it is nice to have someone to help us with these things. Don is super knowledgeable, reliable, and the quality of his services are outstanding. He is our “go to” guy whenever we need help with anything in our home. Thank you!”

2. Mr. Handyman of SW Edmonton
Phone: (587) 204-2017
Business hours: Monday to Saturday: Open 24 hours
Mr. Handyman maintains a professional approach from start to finish. A client shared that technicians arrive on time in clean uniforms. They also bring fully stocked vans with all the tools and parts they need, so the work starts smoothly and stays on track.
Most of the team has more than 10 years of experience, and you can see it in their work. They take care of things like window repairs, small remodelling jobs, and trim installation with precision and care.
The company works on both homes and businesses. They offer carpentry, maintenance, and repair services. It’s nice having one team handle multiple jobs since it makes juggling different projects much easier.
Their familiarity with local building standards ensures that the work meets code requirements.
The Neighbourly Done Right Promise™ adds extra peace of mind. If anything goes wrong, they’ll take responsibility.
They’re not accredited with the Better Business Bureau, though, which might matter to some. Their consistent work and attention to detail, however, continue to earn positive feedback.
Professional and efficient
“We had an amazing experience with Mr. Handyman of SW! Sean was fantastic to work with—he tackled every pending job we had, from fixing doors and drawers to installing curtains, repairing trim, and even painting unfinished parts of our basement. Everything was done so professionally and efficiently. Highly recommend Sean and the team for any home repairs or improvements!”
Prompt, professional, friendly team
“A woodpecker knocked a sizeable hole in the side of my house way up high. Actually, he has been working on it for several years. It’s now big enough to fit a squirrel, and I heard something scurrying around in there so I knew I finally had to do something. I contacted Mr. Handyman through a google search and was very pleased with their work. Dawn answered my call and interacted with me through the whole process by email, phone, and texting. She was prompt and professional. The team that came out to fix the big hole, plug up numerous smaller ones, and paint over the repair work included Andrew, Daniel, and Judith. They worked hard and fast and got the job completely done in about 3 hours time. They were friendly and cheerful and I would definitely hire them again for a house repair job. Thank you very much, Mr. Handyman and team!”

3. Rapid Repair Services Edmonton
Address: 2033 108 Street NW
Phone: (587) 490-0880
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
One thing that sets Rapid Repair Services apart is their willingness to handle smaller projects. It makes them a convenient option for those who don’t need major renovations.
They handle a mix of tasks, including drywall patching and repainting interior walls.
A friend recently hired them for repainting, and I heard that they’re thorough. The finishes were clean, and the new paint blended well with the existing surfaces despite tricky walls and uneven areas.
They also tackle jobs such as mounting, deck work, and fence repairs. They provide a free quote for these services, so you know exactly what to expect before getting started.
The company serves a wide area around Edmonton, including Leduc, Sherwood Park, and Beaumont. This makes them accessible to clients even outside the city.
That said, they operate with a small team. Smaller jobs are handled efficiently, but larger projects may need a little extra coordination.
Professional and detail oriented
“Very professional repair services from the time we got an appointment to the actual service call. Technician came to our place to replace bathroom vent fan, it was a tough job. He did an excellent job of replacing it and explaining me the work. I definitely recommend this service if anyone is looking for work to get done.”

Meticulous, efficient, professional
“I had Rapid Repair Services come to my house and install a new kitchen faucet, waterline to my fridge, and replace a dishwasher with a new one. Very professional, meticulous with the details and getting everything right. The project was done quickly, efficiently and without any problems. Everything was checked and double checked prior to them leaving. The job wasn’t complete until I was happy. Which I was from start to finish. I highly recommend Rapid Repair Services. High-quality work with my full satisfaction.”

4. Handyman Connection
Address: #102-4990 92 Ave NW
Phone: +1 (780) 414-6152
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM
What I liked about Handyman Connection is their one-call solution. I could call once and get multiple jobs done in one appointment. This saved me the headache of contacting different contractors.
I had them work on my flooring and install some prefabricated shelving. I saw that they took their work seriously and focused on quality. They ensured each floorboard was cut to the correct size and laid level.
As for the shelf installation, it was securely fastened and lined up neatly.
I heard that each of their technicians has over ten years of experience and has also gone through background checks. That made me feel comfortable having them in my home.
It’s also worth mentioning that Handyman Connection is locally owned by Carol Morhart, so they understand local housing quirks and typical repair challenges.
The only small catch is their hours. They are open Monday to Friday until 4:30 PM only. This wasn’t a big issue for me, but if you work a regular 9-to-5 job, you might need to plan ahead to get work done.
Reliable and efficient
“I used Handyman connection to assist me with finishing a home renovation project and could not have been happier with the quality of work that was done. Not only did the quality of the work exceed my expectations, so to did the speed of which it was completed. We had had prior experiences with a renovation project where the contractor was late, didn’t show up and turned a 3 month job into 10 months! Not with Handyman connection. They showed up on time and got the job done when they said it would be completed! I would not hesitate to recommend them. The will certainly tackle any task, even when other contractors say the job is too small. Thanks Carol!”

Professional, friendly, and communicative
“very professional and yet friendly approach, high quality work, ability to communicate clearly with the customer, helping to make decisions in a language easy to understand, and when it happened once that the technician was delayed, we were informed about it by the office within seconds, something that doesn’t happen so often … the customer feels being treated like a family member … an awesome company! we’ll be back whenever we need any fixes around the house!”

5. Hootech Services Ltd.
Address: 359 Macewan Rd
Phone: +1 (780) 265-5785
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Hootech Services Ltd. was highly recommended to me, and I quickly saw the reason for their good reputation.
My aunt worked with them just last month for the replacement of some existing light fixtures and ceiling fans. She mentioned that every fixture was installed properly, with attention to alignment and finishing details.
I appreciate that they take time to get things right rather than just rushing through the job.
What stands out about them is that the technicians explained what they were doing along the way, so my aunt knew what to expect. They also gave her helpful guidance on maintenance and precautions to keep in mind for future repairs.
They do more than just replace fixtures. They also take care of condo maintenance, landscaping, and other tasks. I liked knowing they could handle almost any home project in one visit.
They’re often booked up, though, so I recommend arranging your project in advance.
Prompt and efficient
“I had Hooman set up my large outdoor fountain with the pump. It was too complicated and heavy for me. He did a fantastic job. After we discussed the job, within a few days, he came and completed it. It was very heavy too, but got the job done, and fountain running. He was prompt, efficent and cleaned up the area when he was done. I was very pleased with his work. I highly recommend him, and will definitely use his services again.The price was also very reasonable.”

Thorough work with great attention to customer satisfaction
“Had a fantastic experience with Hooman. I originally received his info from a door tag on my house. I initially called to get a quote on doing lawn care and maintenance. He (and his Brother) did such a fantastic job that I asked for a quote to sand and re stain my whole deck. The results were wondrous and of great quality and very time efficient. It was a lot of work (30 degree weather) but never a complaint, never showed up late and wouldn’t consider his work complete until I was 100% satisfied.
I will be using Hootech for my fence replacement next spring and highly recommend to any one.”
