What we take on
The work we get called about most. Ordinary jobs at a size most outfits will not book.
Inside the house
The list that never gets shorter. Too small to be worth a specialist's minimum call-out, too fiddly to be worth your Saturday.
Faucets and sinks
Swap a dated faucet, reseat a sink, stop a drip under the cabinet.
Lights and fixtures
Light fixtures, ceiling fans, switches, and outlet covers, swapped like for like.
Doors and hardware
Doors that stick, locks that fight you, hinges that have given up.
Drywall and paint
Patch the hole, feather it in, paint it so you cannot find it.
Mounting and assembly
TVs, shelves, mirrors, curtain rods, and the flat-pack still in the box.
To-do lists
The running list on the fridge, cleared in one visit instead of six.
Outside the house
Before it turns into a real repair. Water and weather do the damage, and most of it is cheap to stay ahead of and expensive to catch up on.
Here are some ideas of what we can do
The longer list, grouped by where it is in the house. Not on here? Ask anyway.
