What we fix

Punch lists are the sweet spot. Hand us the list from a home inspection, a move-out, or the fridge door, and we quote it as one job. Typical items:

  • Drywall patches, from doorknob dents to water-damage cutouts
  • Doors that stick, rub or won't latch, plus hardware and stops
  • Trim, baseboard and small carpentry
  • Caulk and grout touch-ups in kitchens and baths
  • Fixtures, blinds, shelves, towel bars and curtain rods
  • Touch-up paint
  • Tear-outs of old cabinets, carpet or paneling before the next project
  • Pressure washing decks, siding and walkways
  • Landscape installs: mulch, bed prep and plantings (installs only, no mowing routes)

Debris from the job leaves with us. You don't need a separate hauler for the old cabinet or the pile of drywall scraps.

How it works

  1. Send the list

    Text the list with photos, or the pages of the inspection report, to 240-315-7030.

  2. Get a written quote

    One price for the list, in writing and good for 30 days. If we find something on the job that changes the scope, you hear about it and approve it first.

  3. Done and cleaned up

    We finish the list, haul off the debris and clean up. You don't need to be home if there's a lockbox or code lock. You pay when it is done: cash, check, card or any payment app.

What we won't take on

Some work needs a dedicated trade, and we would rather say so than take it on badly: full roof replacement, HVAC install or repair, electrical panel work, and tree removal. Hazardous material such as asbestos needs a specialist too. If your list includes one of these, we'll tell you when we quote, and quote the rest.

Recent job: pre-listing deck wash and driveway patch and seal.

Questions

Is there a minimum job size?

Yes, $100 for any job. Small jobs are fine above that, and grouping a few repairs into one visit makes better use of the trip, so send the whole list and we'll quote it together.

Can you work from my home inspection report?

Yes. Send the pages with the items you need done and we'll quote those items. If something on the report needs a different trade, we'll say so.

Do you supply the materials?

For most repairs, yes, and the cost is part of the written quote. If you want a specific fixture or paint color, buy it and we'll put it in.

What won't you take on?

Full roof replacement, HVAC install or repair, electrical panel work, tree removal, and anything involving hazardous material like asbestos.
