Handyman questions, honest answers.

Most small jobs start around $129. Larger or specialty work is quoted by the job — you'll see a clear written quote before any work starts, no hourly meters running.

Most small jobs are scheduled the same week — usually a 2-3 day turnaround once we've agreed on scope. Most quotes back within a couple of hours, Mon-Sat.

Always. You'll have a clear written quote in hand (or text/email) before we start any work, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

Yes. If our workmanship fails, we come back and make it right at no charge for the return trip on covered issues. See our guarantee page for the specifics.

Yes — that's actually the fastest path. Text photos of the job to (469) 721-0146 with a quick description and we'll often quote before the visit.

Yes — pre-listing punch lists, inspection-report fixes and tenant turns are some of our most repeat work. See the For Realtors page for B2B-specific details.

None. Small projects are our specialty — single-room paint, a sticking door, a TV mount, a wobbly handrail. If a contractor told you the job isn't worth their time, it's probably perfect for us.

Yes. We match knockdown, orange-peel, smooth and most hand textures so the patch blends in before paint.

We can prime and paint the patched area, or leave it primed and paint-ready — your call.

Most small patches start around $129. Larger repairs, ceiling work and water-damage rebuilds get a written quote after a quick look — text photos ahead of time and we can usually quote before the visit.

A single patch is often same-visit. Larger repairs that need taping, floating and texture-matching usually need a return trip the next day so the mud can dry properly between coats.

Tiny nail-pop holes are fair DIY. For anything bigger than a fist, ceiling work, or a wall you care about looking right under paint, a pro saves you the second-repair phase most DIYers end up in.

We focus on small-to-mid painting jobs. For full exterior repaints we'll point you to the right crew.

Either way — we can pick up your color or you can have it ready. We'll confirm sheen and brand in the quote.

Most single rooms or accent walls start around $129 and scale with size, prep work and whether trim and ceilings are included. We quote after a quick look or some photos.

A standard bedroom is typically one day including drying time between coats. Rooms with heavy prep, trim and multiple colors can stretch to two days — we'll tell you up front.

Yes — scuffs before listing, blending in a drywall patch, refreshing a front door or cutting in trim are exactly the size of job we like.

We can bring a quality mount sized to your TV, or install one you already have.

Yes, where the wall construction allows we run cables in-wall for a clean look, or use a low-profile raceway.

Standard mounts typically start around $129. Larger TVs, in-wall cable concealment, fireplace mounts and tile or stone surfaces are quoted after a quick look.

Yes, where the wall structure and heat allow. We check framing, surface and venting before quoting so you don't end up with a TV that's too hot or off-level.

Yes — flat-pack furniture, shelving systems, playsets, trampolines and gym equipment are all part of what we do, often on the same visit as a mount.

Almost always. It's usually alignment or a shifted strike plate, both quick fixes.

Yes, we install and set up most smart locks and deadbolts.

Adjustments and lock swaps typically start around $129. New door installs and pre-hung exteriors are quoted after a look — those vary with size, material and threshold work.

Yes — pre-hung exterior installs are part of what we do, including weatherstripping, threshold and trim work. Measure and confirm the slab or jamb you want and we'll quote it.

Yes. Standard storm-door and screen-door installs are quick and usually same-visit.

In most cases yes — we match common profiles or source the closest stock available.

Baseboard, casing and shoe molding starts around $129 for small areas and is quoted by room size and linear footage for bigger jobs. Crown molding is priced separately by complexity.

We install paint-ready: tight joints, caulked, primed if requested. We can also paint as part of the same job if you want one trip instead of two.

Often yes — we splice in a clean piece, refinish the seam and blend it so you don't replace twenty feet of trim to fix one foot.

Yes — simple built-ins, closet shelving, garage storage and ledges are part of what we do. Anything cabinet-grade or furniture-style finish goes to a finish carpenter we trust.

Yes. A sagging gate is usually a post, hinge or anti-sag issue — all things we repair routinely.

Picket and rail replacements and gate fixes typically start around $129 and scale with linear footage and post work. Storm damage and post resets are quoted after a quick look.

Usually yes for emergency containment — re-securing a downed section, propping a gate or boarding access. Full repairs are scheduled by availability and materials.

Yes — gate hardware, hinge resets and welded-section repairs are part of what we handle. For full rebuilds of ornamental iron we'll point you to a specialty fabricator.

Yes — we can stain or seal new pickets, rails or sections so the repair blends with the rest of the fence as much as wood-age and weather allow.

We focus on repairs and refreshes. For full rebuilds we'll connect you with the right contractor.

Board replacements, railing fixes and step repairs typically start around $129. Larger refreshes — staining, multiple board runs, structural fixes — are quoted by size.

Loose, wobbly or rotted railings are a real fall hazard, especially with kids around or above a step. We test, re-anchor and replace pieces as needed so the rail actually does its job.

Yes. We pressure-clean, sand rough spots and apply a stain or sealer rated for North Texas sun. Quoted by square footage and rail count.

In our climate, every 2-3 years for stained pine, less often for sealed hardwoods. UV and seasonal swings break finishes down faster than people expect.

We handle like-for-like fixture and device replacements on existing circuits. New circuits or panel work get referred to a licensed electrician.

Standard like-for-like swaps start around $129 per fixture. Multiple fans, vaulted ceilings or extra-large fixtures take longer and are quoted accordingly.

Yes, with the right downrod and mount. We confirm the box rating, slope kit and downrod length before purchase so it hangs level and stable.

Yes — single-pole, three-way and most major smart-switch brands. We test the existing wiring and recommend the right switch for your bulbs to avoid flicker.

We won't install a fixture on damaged or non-code wiring. We'll show you the issue and refer a licensed electrician for the repair before we put the fan back up.

No — we handle fixture-level work. Anything inside the walls or main lines goes to a licensed plumber.

Faucet swaps, toilet rebuilds and disposal installs typically start around $129. We can usually quote from a photo and a description before showing up.

Yes — pull the old one, replace the wax ring or flange if needed and set the new toilet with a fresh supply line and shut-off valve check. Most are done in under two hours.

Usually yes. Most under-sink leaks are loose connections, failing supply lines or a worn shut-off valve — all things we can identify and replace on the same visit.

Either way works. Customers who want a specific model usually buy it themselves; otherwise we'll bring a quality option and confirm the look before installing.

Absolutely — send it over and we'll quote the items we can handle and flag anything that needs a specialty trade.

Yes. Many landlords keep us on call for turns and repairs across multiple properties.

We quote by the list rather than by the hour, so you know the total before we start. Many small line items often combine into a single fair price rather than padding each one.

For most standard turns, yes — patch, paint, fix fixtures, swap broken pieces and clean up. Larger turns with carpet, full repaints or major repairs may need a second day.

Yes — punch lists, pre-listing repairs and tenant turns across Rockwall, Hunt and Collin counties are some of our most repeat work.
