personal visit notes and small repairs since around 2016
personal home visits, loose cabinets, doors sticking in the WRONG season, and hardware that had to get right with itself

I am not exactly advertising right now. I was looking for a washer in a coffee can and found three old screws, a cabinet receipt, and one of those little pencils that is too short to respect.

Personal cabinet visits in your home, usually quiet,, because I can tell when a cabinet is not being honest with the wall and needs a firm hand.
Doors that stick, rub, squeak, or will not open unless someone gives them encouragement. I come to YOU and I do not make the neighbors part of it.
Tight spaces, shelves, hooks, and extension cords that have started a second life. Also closets with TOO much light in them sometimes.
If it needs one tool and then somehow three more,, that is often where I came in. No big crew. No judgment. Just me showing up when the little thing will not stay put.

A storm door handle should not move around independent from the door. That is how you know a thing has started making its own decisions,, and I do not hire hardware to freelance. A handle's job is to let you in and out without asking follow-up questions.
A toilet seat can be wrong by only a little and still make the whole room feel like it is voting against you. People tolerate it because nobody wants to discuss seat travel at company volume,, but the body notices. The body keeps records.
A cabinet pull being off-center will bother some people until it becomes the loudest thing in the kitchen. I know that sounds like something a person says when they have been alone with a tape measure too long,, but it is TRUE. A little handle can sit crooked and then every time…
