Odd Job Jacks owner Kurtis McDermid may not be aware of this but being a pretty actively involved member of our community who volunteers for local causes a fair amount, I have actually been a fan of what he and his business are all about for quite a few years.

You see, a couple of years ago, I took part in the Downtown Association’s annual ‘Spring Clean’ event where volunteers take part in tidying up downtown.

And at the time, a generous company had donated its time, resources and labour to help with this big task — and that company was Odd Job Jacks.

I recall that Kurtis and his team rolled up their sleeves and worked incredibly hard, bringing all kinds of equipment to make the task easier and loading up all kinds of interesting and downright strange items found in alleys etc to be disposed of and not charging a dime for their services/use of equipment. 

It is community minded businesses like Odd Job Jacks that truly make Sault Ste. Marie a great place to live and it is businesses like this that deserve our support now more than ever. 

From the name of the business, you can correctly assume that Odd Job Jacks specializes in doing all kinds of odd jobs with their core services being lawn care, snow removal and fence construction. 

The company prides itself in being one of the Sault’s leading property contracting and maintenance specialists.  Some of the services they provide are complete property maintenance including snow removal, weekly lawn care, fall and spring clean-ups available as a yearly contract. 

In addition, individual services are also available including interior/exterior painting and staining, spring and fall clean-ups (raking, debris removal, first/last mowing, garden weeding, ditch clean-outs), snow removal (seasonal or on demand), lawn care in the form of seasonal weekly mowing contracts with clipping bagging/removal included.

An exciting and convenient option that sets Odd Job Jacks apart from other similar service providers is their convenient, 100 per cent contact-less app that makes it a breeze to access their services. 

Download the app at www.oddjobjacks.ca and you can quickly and easily obtain a free estimate for a contract for snow removal as well as use their convenient snow removal on demand service if you don’t want to be locked into a full season contract.  The app will provide you with an instant snow estimate and knowing how quickly weather can change here, this could save you a lot of time, pain and effort if in need of timely and efficient service. 

Snow removal on demand using the app is fast, convenient and rest assured no third party providers are used and no waiting on your estimate.   Odd job estimates, mowing on demand, payment options, job openings with the company, contract renewals, and helpful information regarding their other numerous services are also easily accessed through the app (landscaping, garden maintenance, hedge trimming, yard cleanups, rodent control, exterior cleaning including pressure washing, graffiti removal, soft washing and window washing to name a few).

With regard to their snow removal services, Odd Job Jacks is very efficient and they even monitor walkways, multi-unit residential and commercial properties daily during the winter to ensure their contracted properties are free of slip and fall hazards to give their clients piece of mind.  

Be sure to follow them on their social media platforms to see what this progressive business is up to. If you have specific questions, send them an e-mail at [email protected] or give them a call or text at 705-941-1606.
