No Job Too Small

Decades of leadership. Decades of craftsmanship. One repair at a time.

Most contractors have a minimum job size, and it's not your dripping faucet, your sticking door, or the drywall patch that's been on your list for six months. Those jobs don't disappear on their own. They just don't get done. That's why Fix It Rick exists.

What we bring to every job is straightforward: an accurate assessment before we commit, honest communication about cost and timeline, and work we'd want done in our own homes. Those habits come from decades spent in both corporate leadership and hands-on craftsmanship. Attention to detail transfers well between the two.

We also run this business like a business. Written estimates before work begins, so you know the cost and scope before anything's on the calendar. Clear invoices when it's done. Many handyman services run off a notepad and a maybe. We built a real system so nothing falls through the cracks, including your job.

We keep our schedule intentionally focused. Every job gets our full attention. If we take it on, we're confident we can do it right.

My Standard

What to Expect

01

Honest assessment upfront

We evaluate the job thoroughly and give you a clear picture of what's needed, what it will cost, and how long it will take — before anything begins.

02

Punctuality and respect for your time

When we confirm a time, we're there. If circumstances change, you'll hear from us well in advance — not at the moment of the appointment.

03

A clean, organized work area

We work methodically and clean up thoroughly. Your home is returned to order when we leave, not left for you to sort out.

04

Work scoped to what's necessary

If a focused repair is the right solution, that's what we'll recommend. We don't expand scope beyond what the job requires.

3

We confirm a time

We schedule an evening or weekend appointment that works for your calendar. No long wait lists, no vague windows.

The job is completed to standard

We complete the work, walk you through what was done, and make sure the result meets your expectations before we leave.

Common Questions

FAQ

Do you provide an estimate before starting work?
Yes, always. We'll assess the job and give you a clear cost estimate before anything begins. No surprises on the invoice.
Can you take care of multiple repairs in a single visit?
Absolutely. If you have a list, bring it. Working through several smaller jobs in one visit is often the most efficient approach for both of us.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Dublin, Ohio and the immediately surrounding area. We keep our service area intentionally focused so we can be responsive and available to the customers we commit to.
How quickly can you get to my job?
We'll respond to your request within 24 hours. Scheduling depends on current availability, but we keep our workload focused specifically so we're not booking weeks out.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full liability insurance on every job. We're happy to provide documentation before we start if you'd like it.
What if the job turns out to be more complex than expected?
We'll tell you before we proceed. If the scope changes after we've had a look, we'll discuss it and agree on a revised plan before any additional work begins.
Do we require anything upfront?
Never. You pay when the job is done and you're satisfied with the result. That's the only arrangement we're comfortable with.
