For homeowners
The list has been on the fridge since March. Send it.
For the list that has been growing for two years. Eleven unrelated small things, batched into one visit instead of a year of good intentions.
The situation
Why this is harder than it should be
Nobody calls a handyman about one thing. They call about the eleventh thing, after the eleventh thing finally became annoying enough to overcome the awkwardness of asking someone to come out for a cabinet hinge.
The delay is almost never money. It is that a list of eleven small unrelated items feels like it is not worth anyone's time, and the two occasions you did call, nobody called back — which quietly confirmed the suspicion. So the list stays on the fridge and grows a twelfth item.
We are built for that list. Not as a favor, but because it is genuinely the efficient way to do this work: one trip, one setup, materials sourced once, and eleven things off your mind in an afternoon.
- One item feels too small to call aboutSo it waits. Then it waits for company. Two years later there are eleven items and the whole thing feels too big to explain, which is a worse problem than the one you started with.
- You don't know which trade it belongs toIs a sticking door a carpenter? Is a running toilet a plumber or a five-minute part? Guessing wrong means a wasted call-out fee and a contractor irritated at being sent to the wrong job.
- Nobody calls backThe most common complaint in home services, by a distance. Not bad work — no work, no answer, and no idea whether your request went anywhere at all.
- You're worried it'll turn into a bigger jobThe fear that a small repair becomes 'well, while we're in there' and an invoice with a number you never agreed to. It happens often enough that the caution is reasonable.
What you get
How we work with you
- Send it however it exists in your headA screenshot of your notes app. Six photos with no captions. A voice-to-text ramble at 11pm. Organizing it is our job, and we would rather have the messy version than wait for a tidy one that never gets written.
- You get told which items aren't oursEvery list has one. We name it, say why, and tell you what kind of contractor handles it — so you can make that call the same day rather than three weeks into the project.
- A written scope before anything startsYou see what we are doing and what it costs before a tool comes out of the truck. If the photos did not show the whole story, we stop and tell you, and you decide.
- One visit instead of sixRelated work batched, materials sourced ahead, and travel and setup charged once. The marginal cost of item nine is a fraction of item one, which is exactly why sending the full list is in your interest.
Situations
What this looks like in practice
Not a feature list — the actual shapes these jobs take.
The two-year accumulation
Closet door off the track, towel bar still in a drawer since the move, three anchor holes where a shelf used to be, a bathroom fan cover that fell off, a cabinet that will not close, a smoke detector chirping at twelve feet. One afternoon.
Just moved in
Boxes of furniture, TVs to mount, blinds, closet systems, garage storage, and nothing hung on any wall. Doing it in one scheduled day instead of six weekends is a completely different experience, and it costs less per item.
Family is coming
The guest room needs to be usable, the second bathroom needs attention, and there is a deadline attached to something that has been ignorable until now. Tell us the date when you send the list.
Getting off the ladder for good
Light fixtures, smoke detectors, gutters, high shelving, anything over eight feet. A completely reasonable decision to stop doing, and one of the most common reasons people call us.
Making the house safer
Grab bars, handrails, stair rails — installed into real framing or blocking rather than drywall anchors, which is how most of them get installed and why most of them fail.
Sending a single item when you have nine. The drive and the setup cost the same whether we are there for twenty minutes or four hours, so a one-item call is the most expensive way to use us. If there is anything else on your mind — even something you are not sure counts — put it on the list. Being told no costs you nothing.
Services
What homeowners send us most
Handyman Repairs
General handyman repair for the accumulated list — hardware, trim, mounting, adjustments and the small fixes that make a house feel unfinished.
Doors & Hardware
Doors that stick, latches that miss, hinges that sag, locks that bind — diagnosed properly and adjusted rather than replaced by default.
Drywall Repair
Drywall patching that disappears — nail pops, anchor holes, door dings, water-damaged sections and texture matching that actually matches.
TV Mounting
TV mounting done into real framing, with cable management, correct height and honest advice about which walls will and will not work.
Furniture Assembly
Flat-pack assembly, closet and garage systems, and full move-in setup — including the anti-tip anchoring almost everybody skips.
Hanging & Shelving
Gallery walls, heavy mirrors, floating shelves and storage systems hung level, spaced properly and anchored into something that will actually hold.
Caulk & Touch-Up
Failed caulk removed and replaced properly, plus honest advice on when touch-up paint will work and when it will look worse.
Junk Removal
Garage, shed, attic and whole-property cleanouts — sorted for donation and recycling where possible, hauled out, and the space left swept.
