Before you choose
What are the risks and common mistakes?
Knowing these before you book saves money and a second trip.
- Booking one tiny job at a time. Each trip costs time. Group the list.
- Caulking over old caulk. It peels. We cut out the old bead first.
- Assuming any plumbing or electrical job is handyman work. Kentucky requires a state license for plumbing; we tell you when to call a licensed trade.
- Planing a sticking door before checking hinges. Loose hinge screws are often the real cause.
Fit
Who is this service best for?
The to-do list
Five to ten small things you keep putting off.

New-home builder lists
Hamburg, Masterson Station and Nicholasville builds.

How it works
What happens after you text us a photo?
We call this the Photo-to-Flat-Price Method. It is how most of our jobs start, and it means you know the price before any work begins.
- Text a photo. Send a clear photo and one line about the job to (859) 438-2150. Add a second photo from farther back so we can see the whole area.
- Get a flat price. We reply within one business day with one flat price for the job, or an hourly estimate if the job can't be judged from a photo.
- Pick a time. Reply to book, or book online. Bigger jobs get a free on-site estimate first.
- We do it right. Frank does the work himself. If a job turns out different from the photo, such as hidden rot, we stop and talk with you before doing any extra work.
- Pay your way, backed for a year. Pay by cash, card, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Cash App or Apple Pay. Labor on every job is guaranteed for one year.
