What Homeowners Say

“Finally a qualified tradie who actually wants the small jobs. Highly recommend for coastal homes.”

About Richard Clark

After years building and renovating homes, I saw the same problem again and again — homeowners in Sumner and the Port Hills struggled to find reliable, skilled tradespeople for the smaller, ongoing jobs that protect their homes.

Coastal Handyman focuses on those high-value maintenance and handyman tasks for coastal and hillside properties: rust prevention, weatherproofing, small repairs, and regular care. You get a builder’s knowledge and standards, applied to the work that keeps your home safe, tidy and performing well.
