When did you start working with Vancouver Home Maintenance?

I started working for Vancouver Home Maintenance in February, 2012. I was at University, doing home-maintenance jobs on the side, when James contacted me – we’ve worked together ever since.

What do you love most about your work?

The independence James gives me as an employee. Naturally there are rules and regulations that need to be followed but management allows me to be creative, offer my own input and speak my mind, allowing for a more collaborative team effort.

What do you enjoy about working in Vancouver?

I was born and raised in North Vancouver and for the most part I spent most of my time in and around North, West and downtown Vancouver. At VHM I get to travel all over Vancouver working on homes in areas I would otherwise never have been. After working with hundreds of different people all over our city I have grown to appreciate the cultural diversity it offers.

What has been the most unusual or challenging home repair request?

Cleaning out rat and mice poo under a deck. Thankfully that was a one time request and I haven’t had a second request.
