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 I built Fix It Rick.

What I bring to every job is straightforward: an accurate assessment before I commit, honest communication about cost and timeline, and work I'd stand behind if it were my own home. Those habits come from decades in two worlds — corporate leadership and hands-on craftsmanship. The skills transfer more than most people expect.

I keep my schedule intentionally small. Every job gets my full attention. If I take it on, I'm confident I can do it right.

My Standard

What to Expect

01

Honest assessment upfront

I'll 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, I'm there. If circumstances change, you'll hear from me well in advance, not at the moment of the appointment.

03

A clean, organized work area

I work methodically and clean up thoroughly. Your home is returned to order when I 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 I'll recommend. I don't expand scope beyond what the job requires.

The Process

How It Works

1

Submit a request

Use the contact form, book a time directly on the calendar, or call. Describe the repair and share a general sense of your availability.

2

I follow up promptly

I'll respond within one to two business days, ask any clarifying questions, and provide an initial cost estimate.

3

We confirm a time

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

4

The job is completed to standard

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

Common Questions

FAQ

Do you provide an estimate before starting work?
Yes, always. I'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?
I serve Dublin, Ohio and the immediately surrounding area. I keep my service area intentionally focused so I can be responsive and available to the customers I commit to.
How quickly can you get to my job?
I'll respond to your request within 24 hours. Scheduling depends on my current availability, but I keep my workload limited specifically so I'm not booking weeks out.
Are you insured?
Yes. I carry full liability insurance on every job. I'm happy to provide documentation before we start if you'd like it.
What if the job turns out to be more complex than expected?
I'll tell you before I proceed. If the scope changes after I've had a look, we'll discuss it and agree on a revised plan before any additional work begins.
Do I need to pay anything upfront?
Never. You pay when the job is done and you're satisfied with the result. That's the only arrangement I'm comfortable with.
