Local, with the prices on the site. Text me a photo and you get a written price within 2 hours during business hours, and my work is guaranteed for a year. Mounting, drywall, doors, fixtures, gutters and the small jobs that sit on the list for months.
The prices are listed below. A visit starts at $120, which covers the trip and the first hour. Materials are at cost plus 15%, and you see the receipt. If I open something up and find a problem I didn't expect, I stop and call you first, so the price you approved is the price you pay.
Don't see your job? $65/hr after the $120 minimum
All services and pricesOwner-run means there's one person to hold accountable, and that's me. The 2-hour window counts during business hours, Monday to Friday from 6:30am to 5pm and Saturday from 7am to 1pm. Outside those hours you'll hear back by the next morning at the latest.
Anything I install, mount or repair is guaranteed for one year. If it comes loose, leaks or stops working because of how I did it, call me and I'll fix it without a trip fee or a labor charge.
Add a short description and your zip code. That's usually enough for me to give you a real number, often within a few hours.
A flat price when I can give one. When I can't, an hourly rate with a cap I won't go over. The quote lists exactly what I'll do and the day I can come.
Drop cloths go down first and the dust stays where I'm working. Before I leave we walk through the job together. You can pay by Zelle, Venmo, card or cash.
Inside the primary area the prices are the same everywhere. Further out, the job has to be bigger to make the drive worth it.
Illinois licenses some trades, and for good reason. If your job needs one of them, I'll give you the name of someone licensed for it. It's free for you; I may get a referral fee from them.
Northforge is new, so there are no customer reviews to show yet, and I won't post made-up ones. Real reviews go up here as jobs get done.
Yes, $120. That covers the trip and the first hour. After that it's $65 an hour, billed in 30-minute steps. A 20-minute job is still $120, because the drive and the loaded truck cost the same either way.
Either way works. For specific items like a faucet, a TV mount or IKEA furniture, it's quicker and cheaper if you buy them. The small stuff, like drywall mud, screws, anchors, caulk and touch-up paint, I bring myself and bill at cost plus 15%, with the receipt.
Zelle, Venmo, credit or debit card (through Stripe), or cash. You pay when the job is done, and you get a written invoice.
