If you feel overwhelmed by a growing list of repairs at the cottage, you’re not alone. Maybe Mother Nature did a real number on your property over the winter. Storm damage, wildlife intrusions, mildew, leaks and so on: it’s the not-so-fun side of owning a vacation property.
Or perhaps it’s just the mounting list of maintenance tasks that have you down – staining, painting, gardening and more. Those jobs can’t be avoided, but there’s a way out. Hand the toolbelt to someone else and get on with enjoying the summer season.
Absolute Home Services has years of experience doing just that for clients across Muskoka.
“With the range of skills within our company, we can handle pretty much anything,” says owner Liz Jonasson. “If our core team can’t do it, we have amazing subcontractors from every trade.” This includes everything from electrical and plumbing to stonework and painting. “People call us and let us know what they need. We take it from there.”
One of the things people tend to overlook is wood care and repair. “There’s so much beautiful wood with Muskoka properties,” says Liz. “Taking care of it, whether by painting or staining or addressing rot issues, is something we do a lot of. Stairs, decks, interior wood features, floors, you name it.”
Then there are the upgrades, the small projects that will make a big difference to your cottage – like adding a kitchen backsplash or a stylish fireplace mantel, or installing a snazzy new walk-in shower. Small jobs simply aren’t “too small” to Liz and her crew. She cut her home services teeth painting houses as a student, and now, presiding over her own business, she values TLC and attention to detail with each client.
Absolute bliss? Letting someone else handle repairs and maintenance while you get busy deciding which hammock to nap in, or which lake to paddle next.
