Our Services

Plumbing Repairs & Fixtures

    Small plumbing problems become big headaches if they’re ignored. We take care of the everyday issues - fast, clean, and done right - so sinks drain, fixtures work, and kitchens/baths stay dry. Expect honest options, fair pricing, and parts matched to your home’s existing setup. We protect surrounding finishes and leave the workspace spotless when we’re done.

    • Leaky faucet repair; cartridge/washer replacement

    • Supply line & shut-off valve swaps

    • Toilet fixes (fill/flush valves, flappers, seals, wax ring, seat install)

    • P-trap/sink drain repairs; simple fixture clogs/snaking

    • Garbage disposal install/replacement; jam clearing & resets

    • Kitchen/bath faucet & showerhead replacement

    • Under-sink leak fixes; re-seal/caulk sinks

    • Ice maker / dishwasher hookups (existing connections)

Electrical & Fixtures

    Lighting and comfort switches should just work - safely. We replace dated fixtures and troubleshoot simple issues tied to existing wiring, always prioritizing safety and code-appropriate components. From fans and dimmers to GFCI outlets and detectors, we make upgrades clean and discreet. You get a clear explanation of what we’re doing and why before we flip the breaker back on.

    • Light fixture, vanity light, and ceiling fan install/replacement (existing wiring)
    • Switches, dimmers, and standard/GFCI outlet replacements

    • Doorbell chime/button swaps; smart doorbells (existing wiring)

    • Thermostat/smart thermostat replacement (low-voltage, like-for-like)

    • Smoke/CO detector install or replacement

    • Basic troubleshooting for non-working outlets/switches/fixtures (no panel work)

    • TV mounting & cable concealment (surface raceway)

Painting & Surface Refresh

    Fresh paint and tight seams make a home feel cared for. We prep properly, patch neatly, and finish with crisp lines so rooms look clean and inviting. Whether it’s an accent wall, trim refresh, or drywall touch-ups, we match sheens and colors to blend seamlessly. We protect floors and furnishings - and we’re out of your way quickly.

    • Interior walls/ceilings; accent walls
    • Trim, baseboards, doors, and window casings repainting

    • Drywall patching (nail pops, small holes) & texture blending

    • Caulking gaps at trim, crown, base, and bath/kitchen seams

    • Stain/varnish for small wood elements (handrail, sill, shelf)

    • Surface prep: scraping, sanding, priming; water-stain spot-priming

Siding & Window Repairs

    Exterior details protect everything inside. We repair damaged wood, seal drafts, and restore windows so your home sheds water and blocks wind the way it should. Expect careful material matching and paint touch-ups that blend in, not stand out. Our goal is long-lasting fixes that keep weather outside and comfort in.

    • Replace individual wood siding/trim boards (rot/damage)
    • Small fascia/soffit patches

    • Window sill/nosing repairs; epoxy wood rebuilds
