Proper Tools & Safety

Done Right the First Time

Incorrectly assembled furniture breaks faster. Poorly patched drywall looks obvious. We ensure a high-quality, professional finish that lasts, saving you from costly rework.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our general maintenance services.

Do I need to provide the tools or materials?

No, our handymen will bring all the standard tools required for the job (drills, levels, stud finders, basic anchors). If specific materials are needed (like a specialized TV mount or a specific brand of door lock), please have them ready, or let us know in advance so we can source them for you.

Can you hang a TV above my fireplace?

Yes. Mounting over a fireplace is a common request. However, it requires specific hardware depending on whether the surface is drywall, brick, or stone. Please specify the wall material when booking so our professional arrives with the correct masonry bits and anchors.

Do you assemble IKEA furniture?

Absolutely. We assemble all brands of flat-pack furniture, including IKEA, Wayfair, Amazon, and commercial office desks. We ensure everything is anchored safely (especially tall bookcases and dressers) to prevent tipping.

What happens if my task is too complex?

If a job involves rewiring major electrical circuits, structural changes, or deep plumbing work (like moving pipes), it goes beyond general maintenance. In that case, we will dispatch one of our specialized licensed plumbers or electricians instead.
