Done when we said we’d do it
Reliability is the whole point. We confirm your arrival window, agree on an estimate and a not-to-exceed cap before we start, clean up when we finish, and come back if something isn’t right within 7 days. No trip charges anywhere in our service area, from DeKalb and Sycamore to Geneva and St. Charles.
Make one visit work for your list
Furniture assembly, household setup, shelving, organizing and small repairs can fit naturally into one visit. Choose the jobs you need, then add a short note about what you have in mind.
A useful note goes a long way
- What needs assembling, adjusting or repairing
- Whether materials are already at your home
- Any access needs or several jobs to combine
A short note is enough to get started. We can review the details together.
A few helpful answers
What does a small handyman visit cost?
Hourly home labor is $70 per person per hour, or $45 per person per hour for qualifying Community Rate neighbors. The first person has a two-hour minimum ($140 standard or $90 Community Rate). See typical times for common jobs in our job time guide. Before we start, you approve an estimate and a not-to-exceed cap, and there are no trip charges. Additional people bill their actual worked time, with no separate minimum. Materials are separate. See rates and Community Rate details.
What kinds of jobs fit?
Furniture assembly, household product setup, shelving, lightweight hanging, door hardware, customer-supplied smart lock installation on compatible existing doors, household hardware adjustments and minor drywall patches are practical examples. For locks, tell us the model and existing door hardware. We review compatibility first; no hardwiring, security-system integration, emergency lockouts or work requiring a license or permit. Describe anything unusual so we can review the tools, materials and time.
Good to know before we visit
Work stays at ground level or within our five-foot working-height limit. Roofing, gutters, major plumbing or electrical work, structural repairs, and work requiring a trade license or permit are outside this service.
