Moving into a new home comes with a long to-do list. So does moving out. And so does regular life, if we’re honest.
Sometimes it’s a crooked shelf or a hole in the drywall you meant to patch six months ago. Sometimes it’s a jammed door, a TV that needs mounting, or a stack of IKEA furniture you swore you’d get to eventually.
Handyman services are perfect for those small but important jobs—especially when time is tight and life feels overwhelming.
Whether you’re preparing your place for sale, fixing up a newly purchased home, or just need a little extra help, a reliable handyman makes a big difference.
Brayden’s story: The fast-moving move
Brayden had been renting out his old house for a few years, ever since he downsized to a smaller place across town. But when he found his dream home in Lethbridge, he decided it was time to sell.
The timing was perfect: his tenants had just moved out, and the house sold quickly. But with the closing date coming up fast, he realized there was a lot of work to do before handing over the keys.
There were scuffed walls, a broken pantry door, and a few mystery holes in the drywall. Not to mention the leftover flat-pack furniture in the basement that needed assembling—or hauling out. He didn’t have time to do it all himself. Between packing up his current place and finalizing the new purchase, he was stretched thin.
Leave it better than you found it
Brayden knew first impressions mattered. He wanted the buyers to walk into a clean, polished home—not a DIY project waiting to happen. He went ahead and booked ATCO Energy’s handyman services in Lethbridge.
In just one visit, the handyman:
- Patched and painted the walls
- Fixed loose cabinet hinges and a sticky door
- Mounted a few shelves that had been sitting in the garage
- Took apart an old bed frame and prepped it for donation
By the end of the day, the house looked fresh, clean, and move-in ready for the new owners. Brayden didn’t have to lift a finger.
When time is tight and the to-do list is long
Selling one home while moving into another is no small feat. There’s paperwork, packing, showings, inspections—and a million tiny tasks you never think about until you’re knee-deep in them.
Brayden was grateful he didn’t have to worry about repairs or last-minute fix-ups. Booking with a pro handyman helped him focus on what really mattered: getting into his new home without losing his mind.
