Your project in the canton of Zurich
Around the Limmat and the lake, the canton of Zurich offers a great variety of buildings. In the city of Zurich, older rental buildings, condominium flats and old town buildings stand side by side in a dense setting where parking is scarce. Winterthur, the canton's second city, has a lively old town and converted industrial districts. On the lakeshores, Thalwil, Horgen and Wädenswil have many villas and houses with views, often on slopes. The Zurich Oberland, around Uster, combines residential districts and villages, while in the north, Kloten and Bülach have grown around the airport. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. An extension or work in an old town may involve formalities, and your municipality will tell you which. Give the municipality and postcode, building access and any restrictions in an occupied home or operating business premises.
- In the city of Zurich, mention the parking options and whether there is a lift.
- For a lakeside villa on a slope, describe access to the plot and any outdoor steps.
- For a condominium building, say whether the work concerns only your own unit or the communal areas too.
Small repairs in the canton of Zurich
In the canton of Zurich, the housing stock is dense and mostly rented. In the city, pre-war buildings in Wiedikon or Aussersihl have parquet, panelled doors and windows that need regular adjustment, while recent buildings mainly generate requests for assembly and fixing. In Winterthur, old workers' houses add work on staircases and interior doors. On the lakeshore, around Thalwil or Horgen, villas need maintenance of terraces, gates and fences. Towards Uster or Bülach, detached villas call for a variety of repairs. Inform the property management company before carrying out work in a rented home.
- For an old Zurich apartment, point out plaster or brick walls so the craftsman chooses suitable wall plugs.
- Before handing back a home, have the usual minor damage repaired: the key handover with the property management company will go more smoothly.

Frequently asked questions
How should I prepare for a handyman's visit in Zurich?
List all the small jobs you want done so they can be handled in a single visit. Have any parts or items to install ready, such as shelves, curtain rails or light fittings. Clear the work areas and tell the handyman about any access restrictions.
Which small jobs should be separated from a handyman request?
Describe every task, including the surface or item involved. Work on electrical installations, gas equipment, load-bearing parts or other specialised systems may need a different trade. Ask the provider to confirm the accepted scope rather than assuming one visit can cover every repair.
What should I compare in handyman and small repairs quotes?
Compare the complete task list, materials, fixings and disposal. Specify whether you supply parts or need them sourced. Ask how unsuitable surfaces or missing components discovered during the visit will be handled, and agree approval before additional work is undertaken.
How should I prepare for the handyman and small repairs visit or work?
Make the work areas accessible and keep the listed parts available. Photograph the relevant wall, door or item without removing covers from installations. Mention drilling restrictions, hidden services or fragile finishes so the method and required specialist input can be assessed.
