How much do you charge?

I price work by the job, not strictly by the hour — but my rates are based on the following:
$125 minimum for the first hour (covers travel time, setup, and scheduling)
$75 per hour after the first hour

All quotes are provided up front so there are no surprises. Larger supply pickups or debris disposal can be added as needed.

What does your average job look like?

Most visits last 1–3 hours and focus on smaller home repairs or improvements — things like replacing faucets, fixing drywall, hanging shelves, or touching up paint.

I’m a handyman, not a general contractor, which means I specialize in smaller jobs done efficiently and with attention to detail.
If a project is too large or outside my scope (for example, a full kitchen remodel), I’ll gladly refer you to a trusted local professional.

Are you insured?

Yes — I carry $1,000,000 in general liability insurance.
If your HOA, building, or property manager requires higher coverage (such as $2,000,000), I can temporarily increase my policy for that specific job.

Do you guarantee your work?

Absolutely. All workmanship is covered by a 1-year warranty.

Beyond that, I operate with a simple “make it right” promise — if something isn’t done properly, I’ll fix it. My business is built on repeat customers and referrals, and your satisfaction is the foundation of that.

Do you subcontract your work?

No — when you hire me, you work directly with me.
I handle every job personally from start to finish. If a project calls for a licensed specialist (such as electrical or plumbing work), I’ll connect you with one of the trusted tradesmen I collaborate with regularly.

What kinds of tasks can you handle?

I take care of most small home repairs, maintenance, and improvement projects, including:

• Drywall, trim, and door repairs

• Faucet and fixture replacements

• Light electrical and lighting updates

• Mounting TVs, shelves, and blinds

• Caulking, sealing, and weatherproofing

A great approach is to keep a running to-do list on your phone. When you’ve got a few items ready, share it with me — I’ll take care of them efficiently in one visit.

Do I need to provide materials?

You’re welcome to supply your own materials, or I can pick them up for you and include the cost in your quote.
In most cases, it’s easier if I handle materials — that ensures everything fits properly and the job gets done right the first time.

How do I schedule a visit?

You can call, text, or fill out the contact form on my website.
Once I know what you need, I’ll provide a quote and confirm a time. Most small jobs can be scheduled within a week.

Do you work with landlords or seasonal homeowners?

Yes — I provide home services and property management for Long Beach homeowners, landlords, and snowbirds.
Whether you’re local full-time or away for part of the year, I can keep your property in excellent shape with repairs, maintenance, and regular check-ins.

Do I need to be home while you’re working?

Not necessarily. Many of my repeat customers provide access through a lockbox, key, or building manager, especially for smaller repairs or property maintenance.

If it’s your first time working with me, I usually recommend being home for the initial visit so we can walk through the project together. After that, most clients are comfortable scheduling work even when they’re away — I’ll send updates and photos as needed to keep you in the loop.
