The Handy Plan

Common tasks

Not sure if something's in my wheelhouse? Here's what I handle most. If I've got the skill and it fits in the time you've got, I'll get it done. If it's not my thing, I'll say so honestly instead of taking the job anyway.

Repairs & fixes

  • Drywall patches & holes
  • Squeaky doors & hinges
  • Cabinet & drawer adjustments
  • Loose railings & handles
  • Running toilets & minor leaks
  • Caulking (tubs, sinks, showers)

Installs & mounting

  • Shelves & shelving units
  • TV mounts
  • Curtain rods & blinds
  • Grab bars
  • Mailboxes & house numbers
  • Light fixtures & ceiling fans
  • Door locks & deadbolts
  • Smoke & CO detectors

Assembly & setup

  • Furniture assembly
  • Patio & outdoor furniture
  • Playground equipment
  • Storage & garage shelving

Maintenance & upkeep

  • Gutter cleaning (single-story)
  • Exterior caulking
  • HVAC filter changes
  • Minor deck & fence repairs
  • Touch-up painting

What's outside my wheelhouse

Some jobs genuinely need a licensed specialist, not a generalist handyman. I'll tell you straight if that's the case instead of taking your money for a job I shouldn't be doing:

  • Electrical panel work
  • Whole-system plumbing (repiping, water heaters)
  • Roofing
  • Structural repairs
  • Anything requiring a permit

Have something that's not listed here? Request a visit and describe it — if it's a fit, I'll confirm a time. If it's not, you'll hear that from me directly, no runaround.
