Expert Home Repairs in The Carolinas

Yes. We hold full General Liability Insurance and Workers' Compensation coverage. We are fully compliant with local regulations to operate in both North Carolina (Mecklenburg, Union counties) and South Carolina (York, Lancaster counties).

For standard handyman repairs and maintenance lists, we can often provide a quote over the phone or via email if you send us photos. For larger remodeling projects (kitchens, bathrooms, decks), we offer free on-site consultations in Charlotte, Fort Mill, and Rock Hill.

We serve the Greater Charlotte metro area. In NC, this includes Ballantyne, South Park, Dilworth, Myers Park, and Matthews. In SC, we serve Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Rock Hill, Lake Wylie, and Indian Land.

We generally have a modest minimum service charge to cover travel and setup time. However, we encourage clients to compile a "Honey-Do List" of multiple small repairs (e.g., hanging a mirror, fixing a faucet, and patching drywall) to maximize the value of our visit.

Absolutely. We stand behind our craftsmanship with a 1-year labor warranty on all completed projects. If an issue arises related to our installation, we will return to fix it free of charge.

It depends on your preference. For specific aesthetic items like light fixtures, faucets, or ceiling fans, we recommend you purchase them so you get the exact style you want. For building materials (lumber, drywall, screws, grout), we handle the purchasing and transport.

Yes. If your project (such as a large deck or structural addition) requires a permit from the City of Charlotte or York County, we manage the application and inspection process to ensure everything is code-compliant.

In the Charlotte area, we recommend cleaning gutters at least twice a year (Spring and Fall) due to our heavy pine pollen and falling leaves. We also install gutter guards to reduce maintenance.
