Your handyman in Navan, home repairs and small engine repair
Navan sits just minutes from my home base in Orléans, so you get a real local for both sides of the job: the fix-it list inside the house and the gas-powered gear out in the garage. One person, one call, no driving your mower across the city.
Thanks, request received!

A local handyman who actually covers Navan
Navan is its own place, more country than city, with bigger lots, longer lanes and properties where you look after a lot yourself. That is exactly the kind of work I like. I am based in Orléans, a short drive up Trim Road, so coming out to Navan is routine, not a special trip with a travel charge tacked on.
Because I do home repairs and small engine repair, a single visit can knock out the patch-and-paint job in the hallway and the mower that would not start last weekend. For a rural property that saves you lining up two or three different trades for jobs that each take an afternoon.
The jobs Navan homeowners call me for
Home repairs and small engine repair, from one local you can count on.
What I get called for around Navan
Outbuilding and barn doors
Sheds, workshops and small barns take a beating out here. Sagging doors re-hung, rotted jambs and trim replaced, latches and hinges made to line up again.
Lawn tractors and riding mowers
Navan lots are big, so the machines work hard. Blades, belts, carburetors, starting problems and end-of-season servicing, done at your place where I can.
Paddock and property fencing
Rails, posts and gates that have shifted with the frost, straightened and re-set so gates swing and latch properly instead of being lifted every time.
Generators before the next outage
Rural roads lose power first and get it back last. I service standby and portable generators so they actually start when the line goes down.
Farmhouse interiors
Older Navan houses settle. Cracked plaster and drywall patched, sticking doors eased, and tired trim and baseboard brought back.
Country properties are hard on equipment
Out in Navan the equipment works harder. Long gravel driveways mean a bigger snowblower and more hours on it every winter. Bigger yards mean ride-on and push mowers that run all season, plus trimmers and the odd chainsaw for clearing after a storm. And when the power drops on a country road, the generator has to start on the first pull.
I service and repair all of it, mowers, snowblowers, generators, chainsaws and trimmers, right here in the east end. No loading it into the truck and hauling it to a shop across Ottawa, then waiting two weeks in peak season to get it back.
How the job gets done
No mystery, no runaround. Here is exactly what happens from your first message to a finished job.
You reach out
Call or text, or send the quick form. Tell me what is going on. A photo of the problem, or of the machine that quit, helps me size it up before I even pull into the driveway.
A free quote, usually same day
I get back to you fast with a clear, no-obligation price. For bigger jobs I come take a look first so the number is honest, not a guess over the phone.
Booked around your schedule
We pick a time that suits you, and I show up when I said I would, with the tools and the common parts to finish in one trip wherever I can.
Done right, and cleaned up
I do the work properly the first time and tidy up before I leave. With small engine repair that means it starts and runs the way it should before I hand it back to you.

Navan handyman: common questions
Do you really come out to Navan?
Yes. Navan is part of my regular service area. I am based in Orléans, only a few minutes away, so home repairs and small engine work in Navan are routine, no big travel surcharge.
Can you fix a ride-on mower or a big snowblower in Navan?
That is a lot of what I do out here. Ride-ons, push mowers, two-stage snowblowers, generators, chainsaws and trimmers, I diagnose and repair gas-powered equipment so you are not hauling it across the city or waiting weeks in the busy season.
How fast can I get a quote?
Usually the same day. Call or text, or fill in the form, tell me what you need, and I come back with a free, no-obligation price before any work starts.
Do you handle both the house and the equipment in one visit?
Whenever it makes sense, yes. That is the whole point, one trusted local for the repairs inside and the small engine gear in the garage, instead of chasing down separate people.
Can you service a riding mower or lawn tractor on site?
Usually, yes. Most tune-ups, blade work, belts and carburetor cleaning I can do in your driveway or shed. If it needs the bench, I will tell you up front rather than guessing.
Do you take on work at hobby farms and acreages, not just houses?
Yes. Outbuildings, gates, fencing, workshop doors and the equipment that keeps a property running are all normal work for me. Anything requiring a licensed trade I will tell you plainly.
Just outside Navan? I also cover Orléans, Cumberland, Sarsfield and the surrounding east Ottawa countryside. If you are close and do not see your road listed, just ask.
