Residential Handyman

Home repairs handled at the pace of homeownership, not on an emergency clock.

Owning a house near the water means a steady drip of small maintenance tasks: a bathroom exhaust fan that's stopped pulling air, a closet door off its track, baseboards that need re-securing after a damp winter. Residential handyman visits are built around exactly this kind of ongoing upkeep rather than a single one-time project.

Condos and single-family homes each bring their own quirks — condo association rules about work hours and access, older single-family homes with settling that shows up as sticking doors or hairline drywall cracks. Discussing the property type up front helps set realistic expectations for the visit.

Many residential calls are prompted by an upcoming event: a family visit, a listing photo shoot, or simply the desire to stop living with a nagging repair. Bringing a short written list to the appointment, even for unrelated items, usually makes the visit more efficient.

Problems we get called about

  • Sticking interior doors

    Doors that swell in humid months or have shifted slightly on their hinges, making them drag on the frame or floor.

  • Loose or damaged trim

    Baseboard, casing, or crown molding that has separated from the wall, often from settling or moisture exposure.

  • Non-functioning exhaust fans

    Bathroom or kitchen fans that run but don't move air, or have gone silent altogether.

  • Minor drywall damage

    Nail pops, small holes, and cracked corners that accumulate over time and are easiest to address together.

  • General pre-visit or pre-sale touch-ups

    A round of small fixes homeowners want completed before guests, buyers, or renters arrive.
