How it works

Three steps to a finished list.

No phone tag, no waiting on a callback between jobs. Tell us what’s on the list, pick the block that suits it, and we take it from there.

Send the list

Tell us what’s loose, dripping, sticking or still sitting in the box. The door that won’t latch, the faucet that drips, the shelf still leaning in the hall.

Pick a block

Choose a 90-minute repair block or a 3-hour project block, then the window that suits you. We text back to confirm the exact time.

We show up

You get a confirmed window and a heads-up when we’re on the way. Tools out, list done, and the hallway cleared before supper.

A coastal New England home at dusk with a warm porch light glowing above the front steps — A Portland street at dusk — the hour we’re usually packing the tools back into the truck.

One point of contact. Your list, your window and your notes stay in one place, so repeat visits don’t get lost in a voicemail box.

Services & sample prices

Small jobs, handled properly.

Pick the block that matches the size of your list. Not sure which one fits? Describe the job and we’ll point you to the right one before you book.

Hands fitting a new kitchen faucet under a sink with a wrench and towel nearby — Fixture and faucet swaps start at $125 — the tools fit under the sink.

90-minute repair block

One visit, one list. Hinges, latches, caulk lines, tightening, adjusting — the small things that pile up around a house.

Block$145

3-hour project block

For the jobs that need an afternoon rather than a moment — trim work, a sticking door, a small build, or a run of fixes in one go.

Block$275

Fixture or faucet swap

A new faucet, light fixture or ceiling fan installed, sealed and tested before we pack up the tools.

From$125

Picture hanging & shelving

Straight, level and anchored into the studs — gallery walls, floating shelves, and the mirror that’s been waiting in the hallway.

From$95

Seasonal home tune-up

A walk-through of the seasonal items — weather seals, storm windows, gutters, and the odds and ends before the weather turns.

For the regulars

Same block, same window, every season.

Recurring visits are the backbone of the calendar here — the same houses, the same short lists, the same friendly knock at the door. Send your usual details and we’ll slot the next visit in, no round of voicemails required.

Tell us your usual block. We’ll keep the same day and window where we can.
Add to the list any time. Small extras ride along inside the same visit.
Seasonal work comes around again. Ask and we’ll hold your tune-up window.
