Quality maintenance work completed — TotalUpkeep Maintenance

Owner & Operator

Douglas Smith

Maintenance Specialist — North Lakes

Doug started TotalUpkeep Maintenance to fill a real gap in the Moreton Bay market: a reliable handyman service that treats every job — big or small — with the same level of care. No cutting corners, no disappearing after the deposit, no leaving the site in a mess.

Based in North Lakes, Doug covers the surrounding suburbs for everything from garden clean-ups and plaster repairs to fence work, pressure washing, door repairs and the ongoing list of odd jobs that never quite gets done. He approaches every job the way he'd want work done on his own home.

When you call TotalUpkeep Maintenance, you're talking directly to Doug — not a dispatcher. He'll give you a straight quote, show up on time and get the work done right.

How we work

What you can expect

Honest Pricing

You get a clear quote before any work starts. No surprise add-ons, no drip-pricing. If something changes on the day, we'll tell you upfront.

Reliable & On Time

We confirm the day before and show up when we say we will. If something comes up, we call — we don't just not turn up like too many tradies do.

Quality Work

We take pride in a clean finish. Whether it's a garden tidy-up or a plastering job, we work to the standard we'd want to see on our own property.

Direct Communication

You deal with Doug directly — not an office or a subcontractor. Questions get answered fast, and you always know exactly what's happening with your job.

Locally Based

We're based right here in North Lakes, so we know the area, the conditions and the kind of work homes around here actually need. Fast response times, no travel surcharges.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

If something isn't right, tell us and we'll come back and fix it. That's the commitment — and the reason customers call again.
