Handyman Services in Downey, CA

Small jobs are where most houses get neglected

Handyman services cover the repairs and small improvements that do not justify hiring a different specialist for each one: a door that rubs, a hole in the drywall, loose trim, a cabinet hinge, a gate that sags, a fixture that needs replacing. Individually they are minor, but together they add up to a house that feels like it is falling behind.

Rigo started out in exactly this kind of work, repairing and fixing homes for neighbors and friends, and that experience is what the rest of RH Construction And Renovation was built on. He recently earned his California General B license, which means the same person who does your small repair is also able to take on the bigger project when you are ready for it.

The best way to use a handyman is with a list. Walk the house, write down everything that bothers you, and have it done in one visit instead of scheduling five. Grouping small repairs saves travel time and means you pay for work, not for repeated trips.

Jobs a handyman handles well

These are the kinds of small projects that tend to build up on a list:

• Drywall patches and touch-ups. Holes from doorknobs, anchors and moves, patched, textured to match and ready for paint.
• Doors, locks and hardware. Sticking or misaligned doors, loose hinges and handles, and replacement of hardware so everything opens and closes properly.
• Trim, baseboards and caulking. Gaps and loose trim around floors, windows and tubs repaired and sealed for a cleaner finish and to keep moisture out.
• Fixture and hardware swaps. Replacing worn or outdated items such as cabinet pulls, towel bars and shelving brackets.
• Punch-list work after a project. The small items left over after a remodel, or the list a home inspector left you, taken care of in one visit.

How we handle a handyman visit

1. Send us your list

   Call, text or send photos of what needs doing. A written or photo list helps us bring the right materials and estimate the time.

2. Quote and schedule

   We tell you what the work involves and give you a price, either per job or by the visit when the list is long.

3. Arrive with the right materials

   We bring what the job needs so the work is done in one visit where possible, rather than a series of return trips.

4. Do the work and protect the house

   Drop cloths go down, repairs are made cleanly and we pick up as we go.

5. Walk the list with you

   Before leaving we check each item off the list with you and make sure nothing was missed.

What affects the price of handyman work

Handyman jobs are priced differently from remodels, because small jobs are dominated by time and travel:

Why homeowners choose us for handyman work

Handyman work is Rigo’s background, and the company still takes small jobs seriously. You get a licensed general contractor’s standard of work on the same list of repairs you would give to anyone else.

Because the company also does remodeling, tile, painting and construction, a small job that turns out to need more can be handled without you starting over with a new contractor. Where a repair needs a plumber or electrician’s license, we tell you so you can have the right person do it.

Where we do this work

We take handyman jobs in Downey and neighboring cities including Bellflower, Norwalk, South Gate and Paramount. A visit that groups several repairs makes the most sense when you are close to our base.
