Handyman Services in Burlington, NC

The punch list, handled in one visit. Doors, trim, flooring, tile, TV mounting, fans, gutters and fixtures across Alamance and Guilford County.

Quick answer

Handyman work in Burlington NC is cheapest when it is batched. Most of the cost of a small job is getting there and setting up, so a list of eight things on one visit costs far less than eight separate call-outs.

Handyman services in Burlington, NC. We take on the repair, installation and maintenance jobs around the house across Alamance and Guilford County, and we would rather do your whole list in one visit than one item at a time.

Bring the whole list

Here is the honest economics of small jobs. Loading the van, driving out, setting up and packing down is most of the cost of a one-hour repair. The hour itself is the cheap part.

Which means the sticking door, the wobbly railing, the two blinds, the TV you have been meaning to mount, the loose toilet and the fan that clicks are dramatically cheaper together than apart. Most people have been carrying that list around for a year. Write it down and hand it over.

What is on most lists

  • Doors that stick, will not latch, or drag on the carpet, and door hardware.
  • Trim, baseboard and casing that has been knocked off or never finished.
  • Flooring repairs, transitions, thresholds and squeaks.
  • Tile repairs, regrouting and backsplashes.
  • TV mounting, including into the studs rather than into the drywall and hope.
  • Ceiling fans and light fixtures installed or replaced.
  • Faucets, sinks, toilets, shower heads and garbage disposals.
  • Gutter cleaning and gutter re-securing.
  • Furniture and equipment assembly.
  • Shelving, railings, mailboxes, weatherstripping and the rest of it.

Where the line is

We handle fixtures. Installing and repairing faucets, sinks, toilets, shower heads, disposals, ceiling fans and light fixtures is our work.

Work that requires a licensed electrical or plumbing contractor in North Carolina is not, and we will tell you that before we start rather than get halfway into it and stop. Nobody is served by a handyman who takes on a panel or a gas line to avoid an awkward sentence.

Landlords and rentals

Turnovers are a good fit for how we work, because a turnover is by definition a list: patch and paint, doors adjusted, a couple of fixtures, blinds, a tile repair, and it all has to be finished before a date. One visit, one invoice, one point of contact.

When the small job is the wrong fix

Sometimes what looks like a handyman job is a symptom of something bigger, and we would rather say so than take the money twice.

A door that has started catching and a crack above the frame that keeps coming back usually means the house has moved, and planing the door is a temporary answer. See house leveling and floor repair. A patch of soft floor near a bathroom is rarely just a floor problem. See water and fire damage repair.

And a lot of what starts as a repair list turns out to be a room people want changed. If that is where yours is heading, the ones that change a room most for the money are popcorn ceiling removal and drywall and trim.

How it is priced

Small work is priced by the visit rather than by the item, because that reflects what it actually costs to do. You tell us the list, we tell you what it will take, and you get a number before anything starts. If something on the list turns out to be bigger than it looked, you hear about it that day.

Questions we get asked

Is there a minimum job size?

No, but bring the whole list. Travel and setup are most of the cost of a single small repair, so eight things on one visit costs far less than eight call-outs. Most people have been carrying a list for a year without realising how cheap it is to clear at once.

Do you do electrical and plumbing?

We do fixtures: faucets, sinks, toilets, shower heads, disposals, ceiling fans and light fixtures. Anything that requires a licensed electrical or plumbing contractor in North Carolina is outside what we take on, and we say so before starting rather than partway through.

Can you mount my TV?

Yes, into the studs rather than into drywall anchors and optimism. We locate the framing, mount to it, and tidy the cabling where we can.

Do you work for landlords on turnovers?

Yes, and it suits how we work. A turnover is a list with a deadline: patch and paint, doors, fixtures, blinds, tile. One visit, one invoice, one person to call.

How do you charge for small jobs?

By the visit rather than by the item, because that is what it actually costs to do. You give us the list, we give you the number before we start, and if something turns out bigger than it looked you hear about it that day.

Got a list on the fridge?
