Boston's fix-it list, handled.
Repairs, installs, power washing and driveway sealing for landlords, property managers and homeowners across Boston. Clear prices, on-time arrival, clean work.
What I take care of
The jobs that pile up between tenants, after a long winter, or on a weekend you'd rather keep.
Repairs and installs
TV mounting, shelves, curtain rods, mirrors, furniture assembly, door adjustments, drywall patches, caulking and the rest of the punch list.
Light fixtures and ceiling fans
Swap an old fixture or fan for a new one on an existing box.
Replacements only. No new wiring or panel work.Garbage disposals
Fast, clean disposal replacement. I can haul the old unit away so it doesn't end up in your basement.
Haul-away: $25Power washing
Driveways, walkways, patios, decks, fences and siding. The right pressure for each surface, so nothing gets etched or stripped.
Driveway sealing
Clean, crack-fill and seal asphalt driveways to protect them from Boston freeze-thaw and road salt.
Moving help
Loading, unloading, and moving furniture within a unit or across town. I can reserve a truck ahead of time when the job needs one.
Built for small landlords and property managers
You need units ready on time and a contractor who answers. Send me the list, tell me how to get in, and get photos when it's done.
Send a work order- Turnover punch lists. Patch, paint touch-up, hardware, fixtures and caulk in one visit.
- Before-and-after photos with every job, so you don't have to drive over.
- Itemized invoices by property address for clean books at tax time.
- Tenant scheduling. I coordinate access directly with your tenants if you want me to.
- Seasonal exterior work. Spring power washing and fall driveway sealing across your properties.
