The Town Handyman

"The Small Job Home Repair Specialist."

Welcome to The Town Handyman featuring the complete residential home repair & maintenance services of Fred Ferguson. I have provided expert small job home repair services in the areas of Ancaster for many years, then Mount Hope, and ultimately in Caledonia. (I have now retired from these activities for new adventures and this site remains strictly as an archive.) I have been a lifetime local area resident and have well over 40 years experience in all aspects of the construction trades and detailed home finishing.

Whatever the type of repair service you need, we are always happy to offer you a free consultation and free estimates. Our goal is to assist you in finding the best solution to suit your specific needs.

March Maintenance Tips

  • Check eavestroughs for winter damage and make sure downspouts run away from the house.
  • Check your furnace filter monthly.
  • Check your shingles and chimney for any winter damage.
  • Check the operation of your sump pump to be safe from winter thaws and spring rains.
  • Check for drafts and air leaks at windows and doors. This also affects summer cooling, so make a list and fix them now.
  • With so much winter time inside we start to notice all of our household clutter. Now is a good time to plan workshop and garage organizers to gain control.
