Services
If it’s inside your house, we can probably do it. Below is most of what we get called for, but the list isn’t the limit. If what you need isn’t here, ask.
Handyman & Repairs
The jobs that have been on the list for a while. One hour to one full day.
Furniture assembly · TV mounting · appliance swaps · faucets, sinks, and disposals · light fixtures and fans · drywall patching and texture · doors that stick and doors that won’t latch · hardware, locks, and weatherstripping · interior paint and touch-up · shelving and storage · exterior patching · caulking and sealing · general repair and honey-do lists
If part of the job needs an electrician, plumber, or HVAC tech, we bring in someone we trust and take care of it, so you still have one person to call.
What handyman work costs
$125 for the first hour, with travel included within about 30 minutes of Castle Rock. After that, $90 an hour, counted in 15-minute increments.
Have a list? A half day is $375 for up to four hours, and a full day is $695 for up to eight. That’s usually the better deal when there are several things to get done. Jobs expected to take more than about 5 hours are booked as a full day.
Materials are added on top of the labor, at what we pay for them. No markup, and you can see the receipts any time you ask.
More than about 30 minutes from Castle Rock, like Lakewood, Morrison, Kiowa or Elbert, there’s a $40 trip charge per visit. Remodels and bigger projects get one fixed price after we’ve seen the work.
Kitchens, Baths & Remodels
Full kitchens and baths, additions, and whole-house projects.
Cabinet installation · countertops · tile, backsplash, and shower surrounds · flooring · framing · drywall and texture · trim and finish carpentry · fixtures and finishes · layout changes and wall removal · basement finishing · window replacement and new openings
On a remodel, you get one price and one person to call. If the job needs electrical, plumbing, or HVAC, that’s part of the project we take care of, not four phone calls you have to make yourself.

Custom Carpentry & Built-Ins
The work we like most.
Built-in cabinetry and shelving · wet bars and coffee bars · floating shelves with integrated lighting · slat and accent walls · mantels and fireplace surrounds · window seats and benches · mudroom and entry built-ins · custom trim, wainscoting, and paneling · closet systems · one-off furniture pieces
Not every space has a standard answer. A wall that isn’t square, a corner no stock cabinet will fit, a room where the obvious layout doesn’t work. Those are the fun ones. If you’ve got something in your head you’re not sure is even possible, bring it to us and we’ll tell you honestly whether it can be done and what it would take.
Decks, Fences & Outdoor Living
Decks · deck repair, resurfacing, and railings · fences and gates · pergolas and shade structures · patios · exterior trim and siding repair · wood stove installation
We also take on rural and outbuilding work now and then, like barns, pole barns, and shops. If that’s what you’ve got, give us a call and we’ll tell you straight whether it’s a fit.

Aging in Place & Accessibility
Changes that let someone stay in the home they already love. Some are an afternoon. Some are a full bathroom.
Grab bars and handrails, properly blocked and anchored · ramps and threshold transitions · doorway widening · curbless and walk-in showers · comfort-height toilets · lever door handles · improved lighting and switch placement · stair railings · non-slip flooring · basement, garage, and bonus-room conversions for in-law suites
More about aging-in-place work
There are state, federal, and veterans' programs that help pay for this kind of work, and most of them want a written estimate before they'll approve anything. We're glad to come out and put one together for you at no charge.

Not on the list?
Ask anyway. Some of our favorite calls have been the odd ones. A picture nobody could figure out how to hang, a fix somebody else said couldn’t be done, something you’re half-embarrassed to ask about. The answer is usually yes.
We like helping people. If we can do it, we will. If we can’t, we’ll get you to someone who can.
Every trade, one call
Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or anything else the job needs, we bring in good tradesmen we trust and manage it from start to finish. You have one person to call the whole way through.
How we price bigger projects
Remodels and bigger projects go in four steps.
A free look and a written range. We come look at the project at no charge and send you a written price range.
A planning fee, if the range works for you. It covers measuring, the written scope of work, subcontractor bids and the detailed price. It’s credited in full to the project if you go ahead. If you don’t, you pay only for the planning work done, never more than the fee. The planning fee is $500 for projects from $5,000 to $25,000, $1,000 from $25,000 to $50,000, and $1,250 from $50,000 to $75,000. Over $75,000, it’s 2% of the project, with a $1,500 minimum.
One fixed price. You get one price for the finished work. It changes only if you approve a change in writing.
A deposit to start, then payments as the work gets done. Your estimate shows the deposit, and it’s never more than 40% of the price. Each payment after that comes due when a stage of the work is done that you can see for yourself.
Paying and discounts. Pay by credit card, debit card, ACH, cash or check. No fees on any of them.
Cash or check: 2% off the total. Anyone can get it.
Military and veterans: 10% off labor, up to $500.
Referred by someone: 5% off labor, up to $500.
Military and referral discounts are one or the other, not both. Either one can go together with the 2% for paying by cash or check. The full details are in our Standard Terms of Service, which come with every estimate.
