Carol Morhart is the owner of Handyman Connection in Edmonton and proudly serves the area of Spruce Grove. Originally starting out as a customer service representative, Carol worked her way up to General Manager and then owner in 2012. She is married to Jamie and together they have an 8-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son.

Carol and her family love living and working in the area and take advantage of everything the region has to offer. The sense of community is something that she believes makes the area so special.

Famous across Spruce Grove for quality

Nature and Recreation

Sprinkled with green spaces and straddled by Jasper and Elk Island National Parks, this beautiful region is a destination community for people who want to live close to nature without giving up modern conveniences. Living in an area where moose and bear occasionally make headlines by striding through town is something that residents take pride in.

The needs of people living in Spruce Grove are different from those in a city such as Edmonton and vary by season. In the winter, we get calls for emergency repairs to burst pipes or failing home heating systems. In spring and summer, the fences, greenhouses, raised gardens, and even chicken coops we create are the types of projects that help people enjoy nature in their own backyards.

Family Life

Spruce Grove is full of families with young children. Whether they learn at one of the Parkland School Division campuses or attend private school, young people and their accomplishments are the pride of the community. Spruce Grove is also home to Bredin College and a 30-minute drive to more than a dozen institutes of higher learning in Edmonton, which means that parents can rest easy knowing children will have educational opportunities close to home when the time comes.

Carol and her team have a heart for the youth in the community and usually choose Christmas as the season to reach out to them. Two projects they are proud of being involved with are the Youth Backpack Program that donates backpacks full of supplies to children living on the streets, and the MyStrong Campaign that works to improve the self-esteem of preteens and teens. In 2020, they further helped families by donating to small businesses forced to shut down during the pandemic.

Professional Life

One reason the area has seen tremendous growth over the past decade is that there are ample opportunities to make a living in the Edmonton area. Handyman Connection prides itself on boosting the local economy by hiring talented craftsmen directly from the community. This gives employees the opportunity to avoid the 30-minute commute to Edmonton on the Yellowhead Highway, and to instead work close to home doing something they enjoy.

We understand the plight of small businesses trying to make renovations with far less capital than large corporations typically have at their disposal. In fact, we leave the large-scale corporate contracts to other repair companies, so that we can focus on the small- and medium-sized projects needed by the average local business.
