Services / Handyman
Residential repair and improvement.
Honest small-to-mid jobs along the 285 corridor and the Denver foothills.
I take on the kind of work that lives between a punch list and a full remodel. Drywall patches that match, doors that swing right, fixtures that get installed cleanly the first time. I am the one neighbor calling another neighbor, with the tools and the time to do it properly.
What I do
Interior carpentry. Trim, doors, shelving, simple built-ins, baseboards, casing.
Drywall repair and texture match. Patches, holes, small ceiling repairs.
Fixture installation. Light fixtures, ceiling fans, faucets, towel bars, hardware.
General repair. Squeaky doors, sticking windows, loose railings, the slow accumulation of small things.
Small improvements. Closet build-outs, garage organization, the project that has been on the list for two years.
What I do not take on
Licensed trades. Major electrical, plumbing past a fixture swap, gas, structural framing, roofing. I refer to local licensed pros for these and I do not pretend otherwise.
Full kitchen or bath remodels. Out of scope for me solo. Happy to help scope and contract out if useful.
Commercial work. Residential only for now.
How scheduling works
Send a short description and a couple of photos. I confirm the address is in range and reply with a likely window, usually within the same week. I show up with what the job needs and a backup plan for what it turns out to need instead.
Rates are time and materials. I write the estimate before the work starts and I do not bill for time I did not work. Larger jobs get a fixed bid in writing first.
Fire department schedule comes first. If a multi-day incident pulls me, you will hear from me the same day with a real reschedule.
Service area
Where I work.
Elk Creek, Conifer, Bailey, Pine, Evergreen, and the 285 corridor up to the Denver foothills. I also work in homes the same way I work on calls with Elk Creek Fire Protection District: show up on time, leave it cleaner than I found it.
Not the right fit
What I am honest about not taking on.
- Emergencies. If it is a water leak right now or a heating outage in winter, call a licensed plumber or HVAC tech, not me.
- Jobs outside the service area. I do not commute across the metro for a half-day job; the math does not work for either of us.
- Anything that needs a permit and an inspection I cannot pull. I refer those out.
