What Handyman Work Covers, And What It Doesn't

Handyman work covers most repairs that don't require a specialty license, things like drywall, painting, carpentry, trim, fixture swaps, and furniture. It does not cover work that legally requires a licensed electrician or plumber, like rewiring a panel or repiping a bathroom. We'll always tell you upfront if a job needs to be handed off to a licensed trade instead of handled by us.

Our Process For Every Job

We start with a walkthrough, either in person or over photos, so we know exactly what we're walking into. From there we give you a quote, schedule the visit, do the work, and clean up after ourselves. Before we leave, we walk the job with you so you can see it finished and ask any questions.

The Tools We Bring To Every Visit

Our trucks carry a full set of hand tools, a cordless drill and driver set, a stud finder, levels, a multi tool for tight cuts, drywall repair supplies, caulk and adhesives, and a basic plumbing kit for fixture work. Bringing everything with us means we rarely have to make a second trip for a part we didn't expect to need.

The Repairs We Handle Most Often

Drywall patches, paint touch ups, faucet and fixture installs, sticking doors, drafty windows, trim and carpentry work, and furniture assembly or wall mounting make up most of our calls. Each one has its own process, and we've written a full guide for each if you want to go deeper into how we approach it.

Why Bundling Small Jobs Saves You Money

A lot of the cost in a small repair isn't the repair itself, it's the drive time and setup. If you've got three or four small things piling up, from a loose railing to a cabinet door that won't close, booking them together in one visit is almost always cheaper than calling us out three separate times.

How We Vet Our Team

Everyone who shows up at your door has passed a background check and has real hands on experience before we send them out solo. We'd rather send someone experienced a little later than rush someone undertrained out to your home.

Estimating A Job Before We Start

For most repairs, we can give a solid estimate from a description and a few photos, since a lot of common handyman work follows a predictable scope. For anything more involved, like a repair we suspect points to a bigger underlying issue, we'll walk the job in person before quoting.

Materials: Do We Supply Them Or Do You?

For general repairs, we typically supply standard materials like joint compound, caulk, and hardware as part of the job. For specific items like a particular paint color or a fixture you've already picked out, you're welcome to supply it, or we can help source it.

How We Handle Repairs That Turn Into Something Bigger

Sometimes a small repair, like a drywall patch, reveals something underneath it wasn't expecting, like water staining or an electrical issue. When that happens, we stop, explain what we found, and give you options rather than just continuing and adding surprise costs afterward.

Cleanup Is Part Of Every Job

Dust from drywall work, packaging from new fixtures, and general job debris all get cleaned up before we consider a job finished. A repair isn't done in our eyes until the space looks the way it did before we started, minus the actual problem.

Scheduling And Response Times

Most handyman requests get a quote back within one business day, and we work to schedule non urgent repairs within the week. For anything more time sensitive, like a door that won't lock, we prioritize getting out sooner.
