"The guy your neighbor keeps calling."
The small, nagging repairs most contractors won't return calls for, handled with the same rigor you'd expect from a much larger job.
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.
The jobs that have been sitting on your list because no one will call you back about them. Done thoroughly, done once, and done to a standard that holds.
Fix It Rick focuses on repair, maintenance, and small improvement projects. Large renovations, major electrical or plumbing work, structural modifications, and permit-required projects are outside our scope.
Doors that bind or fail to latch, trim and molding repairs, cabinet adjustments, shelving installation, and finish carpentry and trim work.
Patches, cracks, and surface damage repaired and finished to match, including paint. Targeted repairs, not full-room repaints.
Gutter reattachment, perimeter caulking, and weather sealing at doors, windows, and penetrations. Also exterior trim repair and minor exterior wood repair.
Faucet and toilet repairs, garbage disposal replacement, minor fixture and outlet replacement, ceiling fan replacement, and other basic household repairs. The list of deferred repairs that grows faster than it shrinks.
Dishwashers, microwaves, ranges, and other household appliances installed correctly and safely, with existing connections inspected as part of the job.
Unsure whether your job is a fit? Reach out and describe it. We'll give you a straightforward answer.
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.
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.
We work methodically and clean up thoroughly. Your home is returned to order when we leave, not left for you to sort out.
If a focused repair is the right solution, that's what we'll recommend. We don't expand scope beyond what the job requires.
Use the contact form or call. Describe the repair and share a general sense of your availability.
We'll respond within one to two business days, ask any clarifying questions, and provide an initial cost estimate.
We schedule an evening or weekend appointment that works for your calendar. No long wait lists, no vague windows.
We complete the work, walk you through what was done, and make sure the result meets your expectations before we leave.
Use the form to describe your project and we'll be in touch within one to two business days. Prefer a direct conversation? Call anytime.
