About Ivan
A builder's standards, a handyman's flexibility.
Ivan Schwab spent more than 30 years in the building trade as a registered builder, overseeing homes and renovations from slab to handover. He knows how a house goes together — which means he knows how to fix one properly, not just patch it.
Ivan's Handyman Service brings that experience to the repairs, upgrades and small renovations around Port Macquarie that deserve a builder's eye — for homeowners, landlords and property managers alike.
12-month workmanship guarantee
If it's not right, Ivan comes back and makes it right.
Every job is covered for 12 months. If anything Ivan has built, fixed or installed isn't up to standard, he'll return and put it right at no extra cost.
- Done to builder's standards — square, level and built to last.
- Quality materials — no cheap shortcuts hidden behind the paint.
- Licensed trades where required — electrical and regulated plumbing by qualified professionals.
- Respect for your home — on time, tidy, and cleaned up after.
