What We Install & Repair
This is the service for the list — the dozen small things every house accumulates that are each too small to call anyone about. The whole point is batching: one visit, one list, worked top to bottom, instead of living with a sticking door for another year.
- Doors that stick, rub, or won't latch — planed, adjusted, re-hung
- Trim gaps, loose baseboards, and pulled-away molding
- Failed caulk lines in kitchens, baths, and around tubs
- Towel bars, curtain rods, and hooks — mounted solid or re-anchored
- Window and door screens repaired or re-screened
- Weatherstripping and door sweeps replaced before the wet season
- Small drywall dings, nail pops, and corner chips patched
- Cabinet hardware, hinges, and drawer slides swapped or adjusted
Common Problems We Solve
Doors that swell shut every fall.
Wet-season swelling is a fact of life here. We find where the door actually binds, plane or adjust it there, and seal the raw edge so the fix survives the next damp winter instead of lasting one season.
A towel bar or curtain rod that keeps pulling out of the wall.
The original install almost always used the flimsy anchors from the box. We repair the chewed-up hole, then remount into a stud or with anchors matched to the wall — drywall and old plaster need different hardware.
Caulk that's cracked, stained, or peeling around the tub.
Old caulk gets cut out completely — new caulk over failed caulk fails fast. The joint is cleaned and dried, then re-run in a mold-resistant sealant with a clean, even line.
The list itself — ten small annoyances and no idea who to call.
That's the job. Send the whole list, including the things you assume are too minor. We sequence it, bring the common materials, and clear it in one visit instead of ten phone calls.
How It Works
Send the list
Write down everything — a text with photos is plenty. Nothing is too small to include; small is the point.
Get a scoped quote
We review the list, flag anything that belongs to a licensed trade, and quote the visit so you know the cost before we arrive.
One working visit
We show up with tools and common materials and work the list in the order that makes sense — ladder work grouped, glue and caulk set while other jobs run.
Walk-through
You check each item off with us before we leave, and the work is covered by the 30-day workmanship guarantee.
What's Not Included
- Plumbing and electrical repairs — leaks, wiring, outlets, and fixtures on supply or line-voltage power are referred to licensed plumbers and electricians. We'll tell you when a list item crosses that line.
- Structural work — sagging framing, foundation movement, and load-bearing changes need an engineer and a contractor, not a punch-list visit.
- Roofing — we'll note damage we can see, but roof repairs go to a roofing company.
What Affects the Price
- Length of the list
- The visit is priced by total working time, so per item, a long list is the best value — the trip and setup are already paid for by the first job.
- Materials
- Common consumables — caulk, screws, anchors, weatherstripping — ride along with us. Specific hardware, matching trim, or special-order parts are itemized, or you can have them ready.
- Access
- Second-story exterior work, tall ceilings, and crawl-space items take more setup than the same repair at ground level.
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a small repair?
A useful test: if it takes under an hour or two and doesn't touch plumbing, electrical, or structure, it belongs on the list. Sticking doors, loose hardware, caulk, screens, weatherstripping, small drywall patches — and when we're not sure from your description, we'll ask for a photo rather than guess.
Can I batch several small jobs into one visit?
That's exactly how this service is meant to work. One trip charge spread across ten items beats ten separate calls, and grouped jobs let us sequence the work efficiently. The longer the list, the better each item prices out.
Do you bring materials, or do I need to buy them?
We carry the common stuff — caulk, fasteners, anchors, weatherstripping, patch materials. Anything specific to your house, like a particular cabinet pull or a trim profile that has to match, we can pick up and itemize, or you can have it waiting.
Is there a minimum call?
Yes — visits start at $149, which covers the trip and the first stretch of working time. That's also why batching pays: a single towel bar and a ten-item list carry the same trip cost.
