Flat first-hour rate, a reduced rate on every additional hour in the same visit, and materials at cost with your approval. If a job is bigger than expected, we stop and quote the difference before we continue.
Everything we do is priced from these three anchors. No membership fees, no service call charges, no “winter surcharge.”
Real prices for the jobs we do every week. Materials are extra unless noted — and always quoted for approval before we buy.
Labor rates above are for standard jobs on accessible, ready-to-work surfaces. Prices assume normal access, working shut-offs, and standard-height ceilings. If your job is unusual — very high ceiling, hidden damage, tight crawl space — we’ll tell you before we start.
Once we’re on site, additional hours are billed at the reduced rate. This is how most homeowners save real money — by saving everything for one visit.

Full transparency — here’s what adds to a job and what doesn’t. We always tell you before we start.
Yes. $95 covers the drive, arrival, walk-through, and the first 60 minutes of work. If the job takes 40 minutes, you still pay $95 — but you can use the remaining 20 minutes on anything else you want to knock out.
No. Phone and photo estimates are free. On-site estimates for large projects (heated driveways, deck rebuilds, multi-room jobs) are also free inside our standard service area.
You pay the flat $95 regardless. Most homeowners use the remaining time to knock out a second job — replacing a light switch, tightening a cabinet hinge, or adjusting a sticky door.
No. We buy at retail and share the receipt with you at cost. If you’d rather source your own parts, that works too — we install what you buy.
Our minimum visit is one hour at $95. Some jobs take longer than that and are billed at the additional-hour rate. There’s no separate minimum job size or service call fee.
Yes — 10% off labor for seniors 65+ and for active-duty and veteran households. Just mention it when booking; no ID required unless it’s a larger project.
Yes. Every job is invoiced as a PDF with line items, materials at cost, and our license number. Landlord accounts receive monthly consolidated invoices across all properties.
We quote the remaining work before leaving and schedule a return trip. Return trips for jobs we started are scheduled at the same rate, with no additional trip charge.
Most homeowners want to see a real job and a real review before they book. Here’s where to look.
