Built for handymen, trades and home-service businesses

A homeowner is deciding who to let into the house.

01

Every job gets described over the phone.

A site with only a phone number gives a customer nowhere to put the job, so every repair gets explained out loud, one call at a time.

And it costs the businessThe calls land while the owner is up a ladder. Details get lost between the call and the quote, and the same job gets described twice.

02

People search for the job and the town.

They type drywall repair in Surrey or fence fix in Langley. One general page about handyman services matches almost none of those searches.

And it costs the businessThe work goes to whichever business has a page for that job in that town, even when a better tradesperson is five minutes away.

03

A vague quote keeps people from booking.

A homeowner wants to know who will show up, what it will cost and whether the price will grow. A thin site answers none of that.

And it costs the businessEstimates get written for people who are still shopping, and a price nobody wrote down turns into an argument at the invoice.

The approach

Built so the repair list arrives written down.

01

The whole list in one form.

The quote form takes every repair at once, with photos, the town and the timing, in four short steps. Brody sorts it into one written scope and replies in writing.

02

A page for every job in every town.

Seventeen services each have a page, and 82 more pages pair a service with one of the six towns he drives to.

03

The limits stated up front.

The site states the minimum charge, the work that needs a licensed trade and what a property manager's file needs.

04

Real jobs to slide across.

Three before-and-after sliders show real work from start to finish: a ceiling patch, a tiled backsplash and new cedar fence boards.

The thinking behind the build

Summit Handyman is Brody Robertson's business in Langley, BC. He works alone, for homeowners and property managers in six towns, and he writes everything down: the scope, the price and the jobs he hands to other trades. His first site was a single WordPress page with a phone number. This one gives every job and every town its own page. It also lets a customer hand over the full repair list in one go.

Brody's first site was a single WordPress page: a list of services, some reviews and a phone number. It told people he existed. It gave them no way to describe a job. Nor could it show up for the searches his customers make, like drywall repair in Surrey or a fence fix in Aldergrove. So most jobs started as a phone call, taken on a ladder, with no photos and no list.

The concept came from how Brody already works. He measures the job, writes the scope, does the work himself and answers for it afterward. The homepage opens on his promise to take the list from here, and the rest of the site backs it up. It states his minimum charge, explains what a written scope covers and names the jobs that belong to a licensed trade. A homeowner knows where the line is before they ask.

The quote form is the centre of the site. A customer says who the work is for, ticks every repair on their list, adds the town and timing, then photos if they have them. It takes four short steps and about two minutes. Brody sorts the list into one written scope and replies in writing within 24 hours. The form keeps a half-finished list on the phone if someone steps away, and there is no puzzle to solve before sending.

Each of the 17 services has its own page, and 82 more pages pair a service with one of the six towns Brody drives to. A search for backsplash tile in White Rock lands on a page about exactly that. The 47 repair guides answer questions he hears on real jobs, from asbestos in older drywall to whether a deck needs repair or replacement, and every guide links to a town page.

Property managers get their own page, because they buy differently. It answers what a procurement file needs: a WorkSafeBC clearance letter, a liability certificate, the work handed to other trades and how invoicing runs. On the homepage, three before-and-after sliders show real jobs from start to finish, a ceiling patch, a tiled backsplash and new cedar fence boards. Reviews carry names and dates, and the Google rating shows the month it was counted.

The site follows the phone's light or dark setting, and text contrast was measured in both. The accessibility statement records what was tested on September 23, 2026 and what is still to do, including a full screen reader pass. For another trade, the same build takes their services, their towns and their paperwork, with one form that turns a list of problems into a written scope.

Why it converts

What a homeowner knows before opening the door.

One person from quote to invoice

Brody reads the request, writes the estimate, does the work and answers for it afterward.

The price is in writing

Every repair on the list comes back as its own line with a number beside it, agreed before work starts.

They know where the line is

Gas, panel work and major plumbing go to licensed trades, and the site says so before anyone books.

Everything that shipped.

I replaced Summit's single WordPress page with a custom site that lists 165 pages in its sitemap. It carries 17 service pages, 82 service-in-town pages, six town pages, 47 repair guides, a page for property managers and a four-step quote form that takes the whole repair list with photos. The homepage has three before-and-after sliders of real jobs. The site follows the visitor's light or dark setting, and its accessibility statement lists what was tested and what has not been tested yet.
