Questions
How do I get a free estimate?
Use our online estimate form. Estimates are digital only, from your photos.
Are your estimates final?
All estimates are estimates only. They are based on your photos, your description and typical conditions for that type of job. If we find something unexpected once work begins, such as hidden damage, rot, earlier repairs that were not done to standard, or parts that do not fit as shown, the price may increase. We will stop, show you what we found, and get your approval before any additional work.
How do I book and pay?
To book your job, we keep a card on file and collect a deposit before we arrive. The remaining balance is due when the work is complete.
What is your cancellation policy?
Need to cancel or reschedule? Jobs scheduled for less than one day need at least 24 hours' notice. Multi-day projects need at least 7 days' notice. With proper notice, your deposit is refunded or moved to your new date. Late cancellations and no-shows forfeit the deposit.
What days do you work?
Sunday through Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, by appointment.
What don't you do?
Painting, tile, concrete, staining and any job that requires a permit.
Can a handyman do plumbing work in Omaha?
A handyman can replace existing fixtures in the same location when no plumbing connections are altered, such as a toilet, faucet, P-trap or disposal swap. Moving or adding fixtures, drain or supply line changes, and water heaters need a licensed plumber and a permit.
Can a handyman replace a light fixture in Nebraska?
Replacing an existing fixture of the same type with no wiring changes falls under routine maintenance in Nebraska law (Neb. Rev. Stat. 81-2102). Adding new fixtures or circuits requires a licensed electrician.
How is drywall repair priced?
Drywall repair is priced per patch, based on size and how many there are. Several patches in one visit cost less each. Send photos and we will send your price.
Can you replace a door without replacing the frame?
Often yes. A slab-only replacement works when the existing frame is square and solid. If the frame is damaged or out of square, a pre-hung door is the better fix.
Is cabinet refacing cheaper than replacing?
Usually. Refacing keeps your existing boxes and replaces doors, drawer fronts and hardware, often for a fraction of new cabinets.
LVP or laminate for an Omaha basement?
LVP. It is waterproof, which matters in basements that see humidity swings. Laminate is a good choice upstairs.
Should I repair or replace my fence?
If less than about a third of the fence is damaged and the posts are mostly solid, repair is usually the better value. Send photos and we will tell you which makes sense.
Where should grab bars go?
Common placement is a horizontal bar on the back and side wall near the toilet, and a bar at the tub entry. We follow ADA height guidance (33 to 36 inches) and adjust for who will use it.
What does a handyman do versus a contractor?
A handyman handles repairs and small improvements that do not need permits. A licensed contractor handles additions, structural changes and permitted trades. We do the first and refer the second.
