Meet Stephen

Owner, Valley Labour & Property Services

I’ve spent a lot of time working on other people’s properties—and I’m finally starting to make time for my own.

I was born in the Annapolis Valley and grew up in Halifax. In 2014, I moved to Calgary and started working with a company doing landscaping and hardscaping, while also helping homeowners on the side with manual labour and other odd jobs. After returning to Nova Scotia and trying a few different businesses, I started Valley Labour in 2024. I kept noticing a need for dependable help, especially for homeowners who couldn’t manage everything themselves.

I believe in charging fairly for the work we do, being clear about the details and doing what we’ve agreed to.

Outside work, I enjoy creating and working on other projects, but most of all, spending time with my young son. Building this business lets me do useful work in my community while being present as he grows up.

My aim is simple: to provide fair, dependable and honest service, and leave your property better than I found it.

SCHEDULING, QUOTES & PAYMENT

Common questions

How soon can I get service?

During peak season, service may be about two to three weeks out. We generally schedule requests in the order they come in, while grouping nearby jobs or similar work when practical. If a cancellation or a good fit in the schedule opens up, we may be able to get to you sooner. We’ll confirm the expected timing with you; sending a request doesn’t book a date.

How do I request a quote, and when will I hear back?

Use Get a Quote or call 902-532-5077. Tell us what you need done, where the job is and when you’re hoping to have it completed. Photos are helpful, too. We review each request based on the work involved, your location and our availability, and usually reply within two business days. If we’re able to help, we’ll discuss the details, provide an estimate and arrange a date with you. The form doesn’t book a time automatically.

Can I request more than one service?

Yes. Choose the closest matching service on the form, then list the other jobs in the comments. A short description and photos of each job can help us understand the full request.

How do you price a job?

We price by the project, based on the scope and size of the work—we don’t charge labour by the hour. Every property is a little different, so we look at the service you need and what’s involved before giving you an estimated cost range. We’ll explain what’s included and what would cost extra, such as debris removal or disposal.

We believe in charging fairly and honestly for the work we do. If the job comes in below our estimate, your invoice will reflect that—we charge for the work we actually do. Anything outside the original estimate is extra, and we’ll check with you before going ahead. HST is included on every invoice.

Do you offer one-time jobs and ongoing service?

Both. We take on one-time property jobs and can discuss ongoing garden and lawn maintenance. We’ll confirm the work, frequency, and availability with you before setting anything up.

Do I need to be home while the work is done?

Not always. If you won’t be there, let us know so we can agree on access and instructions ahead of time. Please mention any gates, stairs, pets, or other details that could affect the work.

When is payment due?

Payment is due upon receipt of the invoice, unless we’ve agreed to different terms in advance. For projects that span multiple weeks, we send progress invoices on Fridays for the work completed so far. A deposit may be required for larger projects, material-heavy work, or some new-client bookings. Deposits are credited toward your invoice.

Balances unpaid more than 30 days after the due date may be subject to interest of 1.5% per month (18% annually, not compounded), where agreed before work begins. Additional work is not normally scheduled while an account has an overdue balance.

We believe in clear, upfront pricing and will communicate costs, any deposit requirements and payment expectations before work begins.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept e-transfer, cash, cheque, and debit or credit at your door. We send invoices at the end of a one-day job or when a multi-day job is complete. For work spanning multiple weeks, we send progress invoices on Fridays.
