What I do

Finish carpentry, repairs and custom builds are the heart of it. I paint, lay floors and redo bathrooms too, so a room can be finished by one person.

Ask about your job
  • Pair of white bifold closet doors with frosted glass panels

    Finish carpentry and built-ins

    Baseboard, casing and trim, doors that close the way they should, closet and barn doors, shelving, window seats and built-ins made to fit the room.

    The small details are the part I care about most

  • Cedar double bench with a small table built in between the seats

    Custom builds

    Benches, tables, feature walls and furniture for inside or the yard, built to the size you need.

  • Kitchen with freshly painted charcoal walls and white cabinets

    Painting

    Walls, ceilings, trim and doors, from one tired room to the whole floor.

  • Hallway with a new multi-tone plank floor

    Floors and stairs

    Plank floors with the baseboard and trim finished after, and tired staircases redone with new treads.

  • Floating white vanity with a backlit mirror in a dark grey bathroom

    Tub surrounds and vanities

    Old tub and shower surrounds replaced, and new bathroom vanities put in.

  • Wooden deck with stained railings and black metal spindles

    Decks and fences

    Deck boards, deck stairs and fence repairs, so the yard is ready for summer.

Hi, I'm Cherie

The Handywoman Company is my business. I'm based in Dartmouth and I work across HRM, from Lower Sackville to Eastern Passage.

Most of what I do is finish carpentry, repairs and custom builds: the trim, doors, shelving and built-ins that make a room feel finished. I paint, lay floors, redo stairs and replace tub surrounds too.

You'll get a price before I take the job on, and I don't call it done until I'm happy with every detail.

I have several other projects ahead and look forward to and have confidence in having Cherie complete any or all of them with excellent results.”
