Absolutely. Our Half Day and Full Day Handyman packages are specifically designed for multi-item honey-do lists and punch lists. Bundling several small repairs into a single visit saves you time and money compared to scheduling separate appointments for each task.
Drywall, Walls & Ceiling Repairs
Yes. We specialize in drywall hole patching, crack repair, texture matching, and seamless wall restoration. Whether you have a small doorknob hole, a large puncture, or water-damaged drywall, we can patch, sand, texture, and paint the area to blend in with your existing walls.
Yes, texture matching is part of our drywall repair service. We work to replicate your existing wall texture, whether it is knockdown, orange peel, smooth, or hand-troweled, so the repaired area blends seamlessly with the surrounding wall.
Most drywall repairs, including patching and texture matching, can be completed within a few hours depending on the size and number of damaged areas. Larger repairs or ceiling work may require additional drying time between coats.
Deck & Fence Services
Yes. We handle deck building, rebuilding, and repairs. Whether you need a brand new deck constructed, an old deck rebuilt from the ground up, or board and railing replacements on an existing deck, we have the skills and experience to get it done.
Absolutely. We provide full fence and gate services including building new fences, rebuilding damaged sections, replacing broken pickets or posts, and repairing sagging or misaligned gates. We work with wood, vinyl, and composite fencing materials.
Deck repair costs vary based on the extent of the damage and the materials needed. We provide free, upfront estimates so you know the cost before we start. For minor board replacements and railing fixes, our Quick Fix option may cover it. Larger deck rebuilds may require a Half Day or Full Day package.
It depends on the condition of the framing and structural posts. If the foundation is solid, we can often replace decking boards and railings to restore your deck at a fraction of replacement cost. If the structural framing is rotting or unsafe, a full rebuild may be the better long-term investment. We will assess your deck and give you an honest recommendation.
Plumbing & Electrical Fixes
Yes. We handle minor plumbing repairs including kitchen faucet replacements, bathroom faucet swaps, showerhead upgrades, toilet repair and replacements, and garbage disposal replacements. For major plumbing repairs involving pipes behind walls or main line issues, we recommend a plumbing contractor.
Yes. Our minor electrical repairs include installing and replacing light fixtures, ceiling fans, smart home devices, doorbells, and other light fixture updates. We can also swap out old switches and outlets. For panel upgrades or new circuit runs, an electrical contractor would be needed.
Yes. Running toilets and leaky faucets are among the most common minor plumbing repairs we handle. We can replace worn flappers, fix fill valves, install new faucet cartridges, and resolve most common fixture leaks without needing a full plumbing contractor.
Yes. We install and replace garbage disposals as part of our minor plumbing repairs. If your old disposal is leaking, humming, or not working, we can remove it and install a new unit quickly and cleanly.
TV Mounting, Furniture & Assembly
TV mounting is typically handled as a Quick Fix single task. The cost depends on the size of your TV and the type of mount you need (fixed, tilting, or full motion). We include cable concealment options where possible. Call (530) 319-5492 or fill out our estimate form for a specific quote.
Yes. We have the tools and experience to mount TVs on brick, stone, and concrete surfaces using the appropriate masonry anchors. We also handle standard drywall and stud mounting for any wall type.
Yes. Furniture assembly is one of our core services. We assemble indoor furniture, outdoor patio sets, shelving units, bed frames, desks, and more. We can also tackle outdoor playsets and storage sheds as part of a Half Day or Full Day package.
Home Safety, Accessibility & Mobile Homes
Yes. Our Home Safety and Accessibility service includes installing bathroom grab bars, building accessibility ramps, adding handrails, and making other modifications to help seniors and those with mobility challenges stay safe and independent at home.
