Meet Ren

The Handyman

Hi! I’m Ren Horvath, your local Nanaimo Handyman. I would love to help you with your home project. I am a red seal certified sheet metal worker with experience in the construction industry for 12+ years. I have completed 3 top to bottom house renovations of my own and have helped many customers, family and friends with their home projects. I have always been handy, even from a very young age, and enjoy physical work, problem solving and the satisfaction of repairing and updating things.

If you have a list of home improvements or repairs (or a honey-do list!), I can help! If you need maintenance done around your home such as power washing or fence repair, I can help. If you need to get your home ready to sell or make a new home more comfortable, I can help! If you have a small renovation project in mind like updating a bathroom or putting in new flooring, I can help! I am reliable, licensed and insured and promise to provide you with good communication and quality work. Get in touch via phone or email and I would be happy to discuss your project.
