Business Details

About Me

Hi, I’m Ruslan — a professional handyman with 15+ years of experience. I help homeowners improve kitchens with practical installation and upgrade work, including cabinet fitting, cabinet adjustment, cabinet door repair, drawer repair, countertop installation, countertop replacement, hardware replacement, trim finishing, mounting, and other detail-focused improvements across Ottawa.

Many kitchens do not need a full renovation to work better. In a lot of cases, the biggest problems come from poor alignment, worn hardware, unfinished edges, weak sealing, loose components, or older parts that make the whole kitchen feel tired or less functional.

I focus on clean, targeted kitchen upgrades: installing or adjusting cabinets, repairing cabinet doors and drawers, improving fit and finishing, replacing worn hardware, helping with countertop installation or countertop replacement, sealing sink and countertop transitions, mounting fixtures and accessories, and completing practical improvements that make the kitchen look more organized, finished, and easier to use.

Why Clients Choose Me

• Targeted kitchen upgrades without unnecessary full demolition or expensive full remodel work
• Clean installation and finishing with attention to alignment, level, spacing, sealing, and final appearance
• Practical experience with cabinets, cabinet doors, drawers, countertops, trim, mounting, sink-area finishing, range hoods, and kitchen detail work
• Honest communication about what can be improved with targeted upgrade work and what would require larger renovation
• Neat preparation and cleanup included so the area is left tidy and ready to use
• Evenings & weekends available — fully insured & registered in Ontario

Is This Service Right for You?

When This Service Is a Good Fit

• You need kitchen cabinets installed, adjusted, or realigned for better fit and function
• You want to upgrade hinges, handles, drawer hardware, trim, or finishing details
• You need cabinet doors repaired or kitchen drawers adjusted or repaired because they no longer close, align, or slide properly
• You need countertop installation or countertop replacement as part of a practical kitchen update
• You need a range hood installed or other kitchen components mounted neatly and securely
• You want practical kitchen improvements without tearing out the whole room
• You want clean work, clear communication, and a result that looks finished and usable

When This Service Is Not the Right Fit

If the project involves full structural renovation, moving plumbing lines inside walls, major electrical rewiring, permit-based remodeling, or complete custom kitchen construction from scratch, this service may not be the right fit. In those cases I’ll explain the limitation and the safest next step before any work continues.

The goal is always to recommend the most practical solution. If the kitchen can be improved with careful installation, fitting, alignment, and finishing work, that is often the smartest option. If the space requires major rebuild work beyond handyman scope, I will say so honestly instead of forcing a partial solution that does not match the project.

How the Service Is Delivered

How the Visit Works

1. Quick assessment of the kitchen area, what needs to be installed, adjusted, repaired, or upgraded — including cabinets, cabinet doors, drawers, countertops, hardware, trim, or other components — and how the final result should look.
2. Protection of nearby surfaces and careful preparation before installation, adjustment, sealing, mounting, or finishing work begins.
3. Installation or upgrade work: cabinet fitting, cabinet adjustment, cabinet door repair, drawer repair, countertop installation or replacement, hardware replacement, mounting, sealing, trim finishing, or other agreed kitchen improvements.
4. Fine adjustments to alignment, spacing, function, and finishing details so the kitchen components look neat and work properly.
5. Final checks and cleanup: confirming fit, appearance, usability, and leaving the work area tidy and ready to use.

To Help Complete the Job Faster

• Send clear photos of the kitchen area and the part that needs installation, upgrade, or repair.
• If you already bought cabinets, hardware, a hood, or accessories, send the product links or photos of the boxes/labels.
• If the job involves countertop installation or replacement, send photos of the current countertop, edge details, sink area, and any product links or measurements you already have.
• For condos: confirm any building rules (noise hours, elevator booking, delivery or access restrictions).
• If possible, mention whether this is new installation, replacement of old parts, or correction of previous poor installation.

Common Kitchen Problems I Fix

Many kitchen issues are not caused by the entire room being outdated — they often come from small installation and finishing problems that affect how the whole kitchen looks and functions. Targeted upgrade work can often improve appearance, usability, and overall feel without a full renovation.

• Loose, misaligned, or poorly fitted cabinet doors and drawers
• Cabinet door repair needs such as loose hinges, sagging doors, rubbing edges, or doors that no longer close properly
• Kitchen drawer repair issues such as poor alignment, damaged runners, sticking movement, or drawers that no longer open and close smoothly
• Worn or outdated cabinet handles, knobs, hinges, and drawer hardware
• Countertop installation or countertop replacement where the goal is to improve appearance, fit, or usability without unnecessary full renovation
• Unfinished trim, gaps, weak sealing, or poor transitions around sink and countertop areas
• Range hood installation or replacement where the goal is a cleaner and more practical kitchen setup
• Small kitchen installation and upgrade jobs that improve the room without full demolition

Pricing Approach

Pricing depends on the scope of work: how many cabinets or components are involved, whether the job includes cabinet door repair, drawer repair, countertop installation, countertop replacement, the type of installation or upgrade, how much adjustment or finishing is required, access conditions, and whether the job is simple replacement or correction of previous poor fitting.

Kitchen work is often more about complexity than size alone. A small upgrade that requires careful fitting, trimming, alignment, or finishing can take more time and precision than a larger but simpler task.

I confirm the scope and quote before work begins — no hidden fees. If extra materials or installation parts are needed, I explain the options first and get approval before purchase. Materials reimbursed at cost (receipt attached).
