  • Can you do work in occupied homes with pets?

    Yes. We are experienced in working around families and pets, and we take steps to minimize disruption and maintain safety. Please secure pets where possible during the visit.

Preparing for a handyman visit

Clear access to the repair area and remove fragile or valuable items. For lock, door, or window repairs, ensure access to keys or codes if needed. For appliance installation, provide product manuals and confirm water and electrical shut-offs.

Safety and scope limits

While we handle a broad range of tasks, certain specialized or large-scale jobs (major electrical panel work, full plumbing re-piping, structural foundation repair) require specialized licensed trades. We will inform you if your project exceeds typical handyman scope and provide referrals or coordinate with licensed subcontractors.
