FAQ
Handyman questions
What can a handyman do?
A handyman handles the repairs and small installs around a house. For us that means doors, drywall, painting, fixtures, lighting, carpentry, tile repair, decks, fences and mounting, all done by a licensed contractor (CSLB #889254).
How much does a handyman cost in Los Angeles?
It depends on the job, so we price each one after a free estimate. You get a written price before any work starts, there is no minimum job size, and the estimate costs nothing.
Do you have a minimum job size?
No. One repair is fine, and so is a long list.
Can you do several small jobs in one visit?
Yes. Send us your whole list and we will quote it together and plan the work so it gets done efficiently.
Do you supply materials or do I?
We supply the materials for the job. You choose finishes like paint colors, fixtures and hardware.
Do you install doors?
Yes. See door installation and repair for everything we do with doors and windows.
Do you fix drywall holes?
Yes. See drywall repair for holes, cracks, ceilings and water damage.
Bigger than a repair?
If that cracked tile is really a tired bathroom, or the sticky cabinet is really a kitchen that needs rethinking, our remodeling team takes it from there. Same company, same free estimate.
