Full Service Catalog for Homes & Mountain Cabins
Direct handyman maintenance across Jefferson County, TN and connected routes to 37760 Kenly, NC. Operating with transparent hourly rates, 1 to 2 hour call-out minimums, and fully equipped service vehicles.
Minor Home Repairs & Honey-Do Punch Lists
Small structural and cosmetic repairs handled cleanly in one visit. We tighten, align, patch, and replace fixtures before minor wear becomes costly damage.
Residential Minor Repairs & Call-Out
$58–$80 / hr
Drywall holes from door knob impacts or old anchor pulls are cut back to solid studs, backed with timber cleats, and finished with setting-type compound feathered to match your existing wall texture. We screw down loose tongue-and-groove plywood subfloors directly into floor joists to eliminate footstep deflection squeaks under carpet or laminate.
| Residential Spec | Standard Material / Tooling | Billing Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Drywall Patches | Fiberglass mesh, backing pine, rapid-set mud | Compound & tape billed per estimate |
| Subfloor Fastening | #9 2-1/2" yellow-zinc star drive structural screws | Standard truck stock fasteners |
| Door Realignment | Heavy hinge shims, 3" security screws, hand planes | Labor rate applies to jamb adjustment |
Retail, Office & Facility Punch Items
Mechanical adjustments and preventative hardware maintenance for storefronts, rental units, and commercial offices.
Commercial Facility Maintenance
$63–$72 / hr
Commercial overhead door closers that slam or fail to latch are calibrated by fine-tuning hydraulic sweep and latch speed valves using hardened hex wrenches. We replace stained or broken acoustic ceiling tiles, repair hollow metal door latches, reinforce retail partition walls, and clear maintenance punch lists between commercial leases.
Timber Framing, Decks & Weatherproofing
Mountain and lakeside cabins face severe freeze-thaw cycles, driving rain, and timber rot. We reinforce framing, seal log joints, and sister rotted deck joists before structural integrity fails.
Cabin Maintenance & Log Upkeep
$58–$80 / hr
Exterior cabin decks rot where water pools between ledger boards and the rim joist. We sister deteriorated 2x8 or 2x10 joists using pressure-treated lumber, through-bolt into solid wood using galvanized lags, and replace rotted deck boards. We also seal exterior eave soffits with elastomeric caulk and foam gaskets to prevent winter drafts and pest intrusion.
Emergency Shutoffs & Waste Management
When an under-sink brass valve fails or jobsite debris threatens property safety, our truck rolls with a 1 to 4 hour arrival window across the regional perimeter.
Emergency Handyman Dispatch & Waste Sorting
$58–$80 / hr
Corroded multi-turn gate valves that seize or drip under vanities are cut and replaced with quarter-turn solid brass compression ball valves. For commercial cleanouts and post-repair cleanups, we sort construction timber, drywall scraps, metal fasteners, and general site refuse into staged bags for proper municipal disposal.
| Factor | Operational Standard | Cost Implication |
