Why Hiring a Handyman Is Worth It

A lot of times when a person considers hiring a contractor, they have big renovation projects in mind. We are here to remind you that small repair projects do not have to eat up your whole weekend! We can take care of them quickly and easily. Nobody wants to buy new tools, learn complex skills, and waste valuable time on frustrating home repairs. Well except us, we do. A typical homeowner may encounter something like TV mounting or lock changing once or twice a decade. These are often not skills frequently used by the typical person. However, these are things we do very regularly, which means we get faster and better at them every day!

Every home has a running to-do list of all the unenjoyable improvements the home and property need. Nonfunctional doors, squeaky hinges, drywall repairs, leaky faucets, assembly projects, mounting needs, and more. Why not bundle all your issues in one place, and let us knock them all out? You can borrow an experienced handyman for a half day, or a whole day. At $400 or $800 depending on your needs! You prepare a “punch list” of things that need addressing, send it to us a few days ahead so we can be prepared with any tools needed, and we agree on a date. On that day, we show up at 9:00am, do a walkthrough with a homeowner and create a game plan. You then provide us with any specialty items like locks, curtain rods, tv mounts, etc., and we make it happen!
