Handyman & Property Maintenance in Toronto & the GTA
Looking for handyman services Toronto or GTA-wide? Most handyman jobs don’t fail because they’re hard — they fail because nobody shows up. GMC Construction Inc. handles repairs, installations and property maintenance across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area — pot light installation, popcorn ceiling removal, TV mounting, furniture assembly, drywall, carpentry, fence and deck repair, and minor plumbing and electrical — with clear pricing, licensed trades where the work requires them, and the one thing that’s hardest to find: we actually show up. The same team that runs full renovations handles the small jobs, so the quality doesn’t drop just because the job is small. If a repair turns out to be bigger than it looked, we’ll tell you honestly and quote it as a proper project instead of patching over it.Our Handyman & Maintenance Services
Pot Light Installation
Recessed pot lights and under-cabinet lighting, installed by a licensed electrician — the single fastest way to modernize a room, done to code.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Scraping off dated popcorn (stucco) ceilings and refinishing them smooth — protected, dust-controlled, and repainted so the room instantly looks newer.
TV & Wall Mounting
TVs, shelves, mirrors and artwork mounted securely into the right anchor or stud — with cables concealed where you want them, so it stays on the wall.
Furniture Assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture, shelving, closet systems and wardrobes assembled and secured properly — including anti-tip anchoring for tall units.
Drywall & Painting
Patching holes, repairing cracks, replacing damaged sections and repainting — done so the fix disappears instead of showing.
Carpentry, Doors & Trim
Baseboards, casings, crown moulding, shelving, and interior and exterior doors — hung, adjusted and finished so they close cleanly and last.
Minor Electrical
Light fixtures, switches, outlets, ceiling fans and dimmers — done by a licensed electrician wherever the work legally requires one, because cutting corners here risks your insurance.
Minor Plumbing
Faucets, toilets, shut-off valves, caulking and simple leaks — repaired by a licensed plumber where the work requires it, so a small fix doesn’t become water damage.
Fence, Deck & Exterior
Fence and gate repair, deck board and railing fixes, pressure washing and gutter (eavestrough) cleaning — keeping the outside of the property sound and safe.
How Much Does a Handyman Cost in Toronto?
Small jobs are usually priced hourly with a minimum call-out; larger, well-defined work is quoted as a flat rate. Most GTA jobs fall into these tiers:Hourly Rate
$75 – $120 / hr
Minimum Call-Out
$150 – $250
Half Day (up to 4 hrs)
$350 – $550
Full Day
$650 – $950
Defined Job
Flat-rate quote
- Travel & mobilization — most of a small job’s cost is getting there, which is why a minimum call-out applies and batching jobs saves money.
- Licensed trades — electrical (like pot lights) and plumbing that legally require a licensed trade cost more than general repairs, and for good reason.
- Materials — parts and finishes are additional; sending photos ahead lets us bring the right materials on the first visit.
- Job definition — a clear list with photos gets a flat-rate quote; vague or discovered work is billed hourly.
- Access & condition — what’s behind the wall or under the sink can turn a quick fix into a proper repair, which we’ll flag before proceeding.
Why Choose GMC for Handyman & Maintenance?
We actually show up
The single most common complaint about handyman services is that they don’t turn up or don’t call back. We book the visit, confirm it, and arrive — the low bar that somehow so few clear.
Licensed trades where required
Pot lights and other electrical work, plus plumbing, must legally be done by a licensed trade. We use the right trade for the work rather than cutting corners — because doing otherwise risks your insurance as much as your safety.
Renovation-grade quality on small jobs
The same team that runs full renovations handles the repairs, so a patch, a mounted TV or a scraped ceiling is done to the same standard — not rushed because it’s minor.
Clear, honest pricing
Hourly with a stated minimum, or a flat rate for defined work — told to you before we start. If a job turns out bigger than it looked, we flag it rather than run up the clock.
One call for the whole property
Batch a list into a single visit or set up ongoing maintenance — one point of contact who knows your property, instead of a different number every time something breaks.
Licensed, insured, proven
Fully licensed and insured with WSIB coverage, 500+ completed projects and a 5.0-star rating from 85+ Google reviews — the same company standing behind a $50 repair and a $500,000 renovation.
Common Jobs We Handle
If it’s on this list, we do it — usually in a single visit. If it’s not, ask; the list is a sample, not a limit.Lighting & Electrical
Pot light installation, light fixture and chandelier replacement, ceiling fans, dimmer switches, and added outlets — by a licensed electrician where required.
Walls & Ceilings
Popcorn ceiling removal, drywall patching and crack repair, accent walls, caulking and repainting — the fixes that make a room read as renovated.
Mounting & Assembly
TV wall mounting, shelf and mirror hanging, curtain and blind installation, and IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly — anchored securely and level.
Exterior & Seasonal
Fence and gate repair, deck board and railing fixes, pressure washing, and gutter (eavestrough) cleaning — keeping the outside sound between seasons.
Jobs We Take On
Most handyman requests in the GTA fall into one of three shapes. Here’s what each typically involves:Single Repair
One specific fix — a leaking faucet, a hole in the drywall, a TV to mount, a fixture to swap. Priced against the minimum call-out, done in one visit.
Punch List
A batch of small jobs handled in one visit — pot lights, a scraped ceiling, some assembly and a few repairs together. The most cost-effective way to book.
Ongoing Maintenance
Turnover repairs between tenants, scheduled upkeep and urgent fixes across one or more properties, with one point of contact who knows the portfolio.
