The list on the refrigerator. The door that never closed right. The towel bar that came out of the wall in 2019. We do the small jobs that are too small for most contractors to call back about — and we do them on a real schedule, at a price we tell you up front.
Get a Free EstimateIt isn't that nobody wants your business. It's that a two-hour repair costs a contractor nearly as much in scheduling, driving, and setup as a two-day one, so small work quietly falls to the bottom of everyone's list. That's how a five-minute fix ends up waiting eight months.
Our answer is straightforward: batch it. If you've got six small things, we'd rather come once and knock out all six than make six trips. Walk the house before you call, write down everything — including the things you assume are too trivial to mention — and we'll work through the whole list in one visit.
Nail pops, cracked corners, doorknob holes, and water-stained patches — repaired and textured to match.
Rehanging, planing, hinge and strike adjustment. Often a symptom of seasonal movement rather than the door itself.
Faucets, light fixtures, ceiling fans, toilets, garbage disposals, and cabinet hardware.
TVs, heavy mirrors, shelving, grab bars — fastened into actual structure, not just drywall anchors.
Damaged sections replaced, gaps closed, quarter-round added, and caulk lines redone.
Soft fascia, damaged siding, and deteriorated door thresholds — caught early before they become framing problems.
Tub and shower re-caulking, window and door sealing — the Hill Country temperature swings work these joints hard.
Posts reset, gates realigned, boards and pickets replaced after a dry summer or a hard freeze.
Getting a house ready to sell or rent? A punch list before listing is one of the highest-return things you can do — buyers price in far more than a repair actually costs when they see a list of small defects during inspection. The same goes for turning over a short-term rental along the river between seasons. Send us the inspection report or your own list and we'll work through it.
We'd rather tell you up front than waste your time. Work that legally requires a licensed specialist — significant electrical service work, gas line work, and certain plumbing — goes to the appropriate trade. Major HVAC, roofing replacement, and septic work are outside what we take on. If you call about something we don't handle, we'll say so, and where we can we'll point you toward someone who does.
No. Walk us through the list — or we'll walk the house with you — and you'll get a price with no charge and no obligation. For a batch of small items we can often quote from a photo and a phone call, but a look always gives you a firmer number.
There's a practical minimum for any visit — the drive and setup cost the same whether the job takes twenty minutes or two hours. That's exactly why batching several small items into one trip gets you far better value. We'll be clear about pricing before any work starts.
It depends on the work. Well-defined tasks get a flat price so you know the number going in. Open-ended diagnostic work — chasing a leak, tracking down why a floor squeaks — is fairer hourly, because neither of us knows what's involved until it's opened up. We'll tell you which applies before starting.
Often, yes — small jobs are easier to slot in than large ones, and we keep short-notice openings for exactly that. Call and ask. If we can't get there quickly we'll tell you honestly rather than leave you waiting on a maybe.
Yes. We carry liability coverage on the work we do, which matters most on the small jobs — the ones a friend-of-a-friend handyman often takes on with nothing behind them. If you need proof of coverage for a rental or an HOA, just ask and we'll provide it.
Kerrville and the surrounding Hill Country — Ingram, Hunt, Center Point, Comfort, Mountain Home, and out toward Fredericksburg, Bandera, and Boerne. Distance is exactly why batching matters: one trip to Ingram costs the same in fuel and time whether it covers one item or eight.
Walk the house and write down every single thing, including the items you've almost stopped noticing. Move anything fragile away from the work areas, and if you've bought materials already, have them on site. A complete list in advance is the difference between one visit and three.
Either way works. If you have a specific fixture or finish in mind, buy it and we'll install it. If you'd rather not shop, tell us what you want and we'll source it — you'll see the material cost itemized on the estimate.
We take on repair lists throughout Kerr County and the surrounding area. Each town page covers what's typical for the housing stock there and the jobs we get called for most.
The repair list that accumulates in any older house, handled in one visit.
River country repair work for homes, decks, and rental properties.
A short run down the highway — small jobs welcome.
Older homes with real character — repairs done to match.
Ranch properties and acreage — the long lists that come with owning land.
Old stone and Sunday Houses — repair and trim work that fits the building.
Rural property work included.
Newer construction and remodels — repairs and improvements.
Send us the whole thing — the small stuff too. One visit, one invoice, and the list is finally done.
