Licensed Work and Permits
Some tasks require a licensed handyman or a trade-licensed specialist (electrical, plumbing, or structural) and village permits. We’ll flag those items up front, pull permits when needed, and coordinate licensed partners so the work passes inspection the first time.
Repairs Done Right
Lasting fixes start with cause, not symptom. We locate moisture sources before re-grouting, level substrates before new tile, add proper anchors into studs—not drywall—and use the right sealants at every change of plane. The result is a clean look and fewer repeat calls.
Our Process
- Walkthrough & list — we group tasks by room and priority.
- Estimate — clear scope; hourly for time-and-materials punch lists or fixed price for defined tasks.
- Scheduling — convenient windows, text updates, and arrival confirmations.
- Workday — floor protection, tidy tools, respectful crews.
- Handoff — testing, photos on request, debris disposal, and written care tips.
Pricing Guidance — How We Quote and How Handyman Charges per Hour Work
Every home is different, so pricing depends on access, prep, materials, and the number of tasks grouped into one visit. For open-ended punch lists we may use handyman charges per hour; for well-defined items (e.g., faucet swap, tile reset in one corner) we price per task. We’ll always recommend the most efficient approach—sometimes a half-day bundle beats multiple short trips.
