Common questions about our handyman and home repair services

General Questions

What's the difference between a handyman and a licensed contractor?

A Handyman cannot work on structural, major gas, or major electrical systems. Licensed contractors handle larger jobs and specialized work that requires permits. We're upfront about what falls within our scope—if your project needs a licensed contractor, we'll tell you.

Do you provide free estimates?

For most services, our pricing is listed right on our website—no surprises. For larger or custom projects, we offer a free 15-minute consultation to understand your needs and provide accurate pricing. We believe in transparency: you should know what something costs before you commit.

Do I need to provide materials, or do you bring them?

It depends on the service. For most fixture and device installs, we ask you to purchase the item you want (faucet, ceiling fan, etc.) so you get exactly what you like. For basic supplies like drywall compound, screws, or wire nuts, we bring what's needed. Our service pages specify what's included and what you'll need to provide.

What areas do you serve?

We serve the greater Phoenix metro area, including Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, and surrounding communities. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, just ask—we're happy to let you know.

How do I book a service?

You can book directly through our website—just click any service tile and follow the prompts to choose a time that works for you. You can also reach out through our contact page or call us directly. We try to respond to all inquiries within a few hours during business days.

Plumbing Services

Can you fix a running toilet?

Yes—toilet repairs are one of our most common calls. Running toilets usually need a new flapper, fill valve, or flush valve. We diagnose the issue and repair or replace the faulty components. Most toilet repairs take 30-60 minutes and cost between $49-$129 depending on what's needed.

Do you install garbage disposals?

Yes. We install new garbage disposals and replace old ones. If you're replacing an existing unit, installation typically takes about an hour. New installations (where there wasn't a disposal before) may take longer and require additional electrical work. You provide the disposal; we handle the installation.

Can you replace shut-off valves?

Yes, we replace standard compression and quarter-turn shut-off valves under sinks and toilets. If the valve is soldered or the supply line requires modification beyond basic replacement, that may fall outside handyman scope. We'll assess your situation and let you know if a plumber is needed instead.

What plumbing work is outside your scope?

We don't work on water heaters, main water lines, sewer lines, or anything requiring permits. We also don't cut into walls to access or reroute pipes. Our plumbing services focus on fixtures, valves, and connections at accessible points. For larger plumbing projects, we can recommend trusted local plumbers.

Electrical Services

Can you install ceiling fans?

Yes. If you have an existing ceiling fan or light fixture with proper wiring and a fan-rated box, we can swap in a new fan for $179. If you need a new fan where there isn't one (requiring new wiring from an existing switch), that's $299 and depends on attic access. You provide the fan; we handle installation and testing.

Do you install smart switches and dimmers?

Yes—this is one of our specialties. We install smart switches, dimmers, and outlets, and can configure them with your smart home system. We verify neutral wire presence (required for most smart switches), test everything after installation, and help with app setup if needed.

Can you add new outlets or circuits?

Adding new circuits or running new wiring typically requires a licensed electrician and permits. We focus on replacing existing switches, outlets, and fixtures—not adding new electrical runs. If you need new circuits, we can recommend electricians we trust.

What electrical work can't you do?

We don't work inside electrical panels, add new circuits, run new wiring through walls, or do anything that requires an electrical permit. We replace and upgrade existing fixtures, switches, and outlets at locations where wiring already exists. This keeps work safe and within Arizona's handyman guidelines.

Doors, Drywall & Mounting

Can you fix a door that won't close properly?

Yes. Sticking or misaligned doors are a common fix. We adjust hinges, plane edges if needed, realign strike plates, and ensure proper latching. Most door adjustments take 1-2 hours. If the door frame has shifted significantly due to foundation issues, that's beyond our scope—but we'll let you know if that's the case.

How big of a drywall hole can you patch?

We handle patches up to about 12 inches—things like old TV mount holes, doorknob damage, or small cutouts. Larger repairs (like water-damaged sections or full sheets) typically require a drywall specialist. Our patches are sanded smooth and ready for paint, though texture matching depends on your existing wall texture.

Do you paint after patching drywall?

We prep patches to a paint-ready finish but don't include painting in our standard drywall service. If you provide matching paint, we can touch up the patch area for an additional fee. For larger paint jobs, we recommend hiring a painter for the best results.

Can you mount my TV on the wall?

Yes. We mount TVs up to 85" using appropriate hardware and verify secure attachment to studs or masonry. Basic mounting starts at $149; complex installs with cable concealment start at $249. You provide the TV and mount (or we can recommend options); we handle safe, level installation.

Scheduling & Pricing

What are your "Honey-Do" packages?

Our Honey-Do Half Day ($449 for up to 4 hours) and Full Day ($749 for up to 8 hours) packages let you knock out a punch list of small tasks in one visit. You provide the list, we help prioritize, and we work through as much as time allows. These are great before guests arrive, move-outs, or when your to-do list has gotten out of hand.

What if my job takes longer than expected?

For fixed-price services, the price stays the same even if we run a bit over. If we discover something unexpected that would significantly change the scope (like hidden water damage or incorrect wiring), we'll stop and discuss options with you before proceeding. No surprises.

Do you offer discounts for multiple services?

Yes. When you book multiple services in one visit, you save on total cost because we're already there. Our Honey-Do packages are designed exactly for this—batching tasks together is more efficient for everyone. For device installs, we offer bundle pricing that reduces the per-item cost.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept credit cards, debit cards, and digital payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.). Payment is due upon completion of work. For larger projects, we may request a deposit when scheduling. We'll always confirm payment terms before we start.
