MYGuy on Waiheke is run by Simon Frew, who lives on the island at Onetangi. That is the whole difference. When you call, you are not waiting on a mainland tradesman to find a gap in his week and book a ferry. You are calling someone who is already here.
Waiheke jobs have their own quirks and Simon knows them. Salt air chews through fixings and hardware faster than anywhere on the mainland. Decks and weatherboards take a beating. Tank water and pumps need looking after. Getting materials over is a job in itself if you have not done it before. None of that is a surprise when your handyman lives ten minutes down the road.

Handyman & property maintenance services on Waiheke
Simon Frew
Chief Problem Solver
Bach & home maintenance
A lot of Waiheke homes sit empty for weeks at a time, and small problems get expensive when nobody is there to notice them. Simon can check the place over between bookings, sort the jobs on your list before the next guests arrive, and send you photos so you know what has been done without having to come across yourself.
If you manage a holiday rental on the island and want someone reliable on call, get in touch and we will work out an arrangement that suits.
Suburbs and bays we cover on Waiheke
Right across the island. Oneroa, Little Oneroa, Palm Beach, Onetangi, Ostend, Surfdale, Blackpool, Rocky Bay, Omiha, Church Bay, Te Whau, Cowes Bay and out to Man O' War.
Local handyman, Auckland-wide backing
MYGuy has been looking after Auckland homeowners for years, with a team working across the city. Waiheke is run by Simon as part of that network, so you get a local who knows the island backed by an established business, proper insurance and a standard of work we hold everyone to.
Common questions
Do you charge extra to come to Waiheke?
No. Simon lives on the island, so there is no ferry cost added into your quote.
How quickly can you get to me?
Usually within a day or two, and often same day for small urgent jobs. Being here rather than in town makes that possible.
Do you handle materials?
Yes. Simon sources what the job needs and knows what is available on the island versus what has to come across, so nothing stalls halfway through.
How big or small a job do you take on?
Both ends. Small and odd jobs are our bread and butter and we genuinely like them, whether that's a sticking door, a shelf on the wall or a gate that won't close. But we're also who you call for the bigger work: new decks, bathroom renovations and full home renos. One number, whatever the size of the job.
Do you guarantee your work, and are you insured?
Yes to both. Every job is guaranteed for 12 months, and all work is covered by MYGuy's $10 million public liability insurance.
