Handyman & small-job contractor · Philadelphia & South Jersey
Rowhome repairs, done right the first time.
Drywall, plumbing fixes, doors, mounting, trim, tile and the punch list you keep putting off. One call, a written quote, and we show up when we say we will.
The jobs other contractors won't return a call for.
Big enough to do it right, small enough to take the two-hour job. If it's not on this list, ask. Most of what we do started as "can you also take a look at…"
Drywall & paint
Patches, cracks, water stains, full rooms. Plaster walls included, which most crews won't touch.
Fence and gate repair, deck boards and stairs, railings, exterior caulk, small concrete and stucco patches.
Built for Philly houses
We know what's behind the walls of a 1920s rowhome.
Plaster over lath, brick party walls, joists that were never level, and forty years of the previous owner's fixes. We work with it, not against it.
Plaster and lathPatched properly with the right compound and mesh, so the crack doesn't come back in six months.
Brick and masonry mountingAnchors rated for old brick, not drywall screws and hope.
Out-of-square everythingDoors, trim and shelving scribed to fit the house you have, not the one in the catalog.
Trinity staircases and tight spacesWe've carried a vanity up a winder stair. It fits. We measure first.

Straight answers
Questions we get every week.
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. Send photos through the form or by text and you get a written quote at no cost. For bigger jobs we may come look first, still free.
Is my job too small?
No. A single door that won't latch or one TV mount is a normal day for us. If you have several small things, bundle them into one visit and it costs less per item.
Do you really cover South Jersey?
Yes. Camden, Burlington and Gloucester County towns are part of the regular route. See the list above. If yours isn't on it, ask anyway.
Who buys the materials?
Either way works. If you already have the faucet, fixture or shelves, we install them. If not, we pick them up and put the cost on the quote at what we paid, no markup surprises.
How soon can you come out?
Most quotes go out the same business day. Scheduling depends on the week, but small jobs usually land within a few days of the quote being approved.
What if you find something else while you're there?
We stop and tell you, with a price, before touching it. You decide. Nothing gets added to the bill that you didn't approve.
Got a list? Send it over.
Photos help. A quote comes back the same business day.
