FAQ: What handyman services does Foreshore Projects & Maintenance offer on the North Shore?

Foreshore Projects & Maintenance offers five services across Sydney's Lower North Shore:

  • General handyman repairs: doors, locks, tiling, plasterboard, shelving and fixtures
  • Carpentry and timber work: repairs to timber, decks and fences, plus finishing
  • Painting and touch-ups: patch repairs, single rooms and common areas
  • Gutter and exterior maintenance: clearing, repairs and weather-worn timber
  • Property maintenance programs: scheduled visits that work through a running job list

Each job gets a written quote, and several small jobs can go into one visit where they suit. Tim also holds waterproofing licence 189495C for leak repairs. For business and building work, see the commercial services page.

FAQ: What does a property maintenance service include?

A property maintenance service from Foreshore Projects & Maintenance covers the ongoing repairs and upkeep that keep a property in good order. That usually means scheduled visits, small repairs, exterior and gutter upkeep, repainting, between-tenancy fixes, and follow-up from inspection reports.

Tim works through the list in priority order, so urgent items come first, and he quotes each visit in writing so you know the cost before work starts. The service suits landlords, agents, strata committees and owners of larger homes who'd rather deal with one contractor than find a new one for every job. If you already have a list of repairs, send it through the contact form and he'll suggest how to group the work into visits.

FAQ: Can Foreshore look after a rental property for a landlord or agent?

Yes, Foreshore Projects & Maintenance looks after rental properties for landlords and agents on the Lower North Shore. The usual sequence is simple: you send the repairs needed, Tim quotes in writing for the owner or agent to approve, and once approved he arranges access with the tenant and books the visit.

Between-tenancy work such as patching, repainting, door and lock repairs and tile fixes is common. Agents can use Tim as a single contact for maintenance requests, which cuts down on the back-and-forth between owner, tenant and tradesperson. Because Tim does the work himself, the person who inspected the repair is the person who completes it.

FAQ: Does Foreshore offer maintenance programs for strata buildings?

Yes, Foreshore Projects & Maintenance carries out repairs and scheduled maintenance for strata buildings on the Lower North Shore as the contractor, working from a scope approved by the owners corporation. Tim isn't a strata manager, so levies, meetings, records and insurance stay with the managing agent.

He provides itemised written quotes a committee can review, and he can work from a standing list for regular visits. Typical jobs include handrails, doors, stairwells, shared exteriors, repainting and leak investigation. Tim also plans access with the manager, so residents get notice before work starts. The strata maintenance page explains how a strata job runs from the first inspection to the final walk-through.

FAQ: How much do handyman and property maintenance services cost?

Foreshore Projects & Maintenance quotes handyman and property maintenance work job by job, so there's no fixed price list. The cost depends on the scope, the materials, the access, and the time on site, and Tim sets those out in a written quote, usually within one to three business days.

Grouping several small repairs into one visit is often more efficient than booking separate trips, and a regular maintenance program lets Tim batch the work instead of travelling for each item. Send a description and photos through the contact form and he'll come back with an itemised quote. For larger jobs he'll inspect first, because a price based on a photo can miss what's behind a wall.
