No. 01 — The houses

What I look for in Des Plaines

Des Plaines has ranches, split-levels and two-story homes, many under mature trees near the Des Plaines River. Split-levels and two-story houses get the two-story gutter price, confirmed from a photo before you book.

If the photos show roof damage, I connect you with a licensed Illinois roofer (I may receive a referral fee). I don't do roof repairs myself.

Small jobs, real prices

Mounting, furniture assembly, drywall patches, doors and fixtures. The minimum visit is $120 and every price is on the services page.

All services and prices

Mounting & AV

TVs, mirrors, shelves, picture rails, smart-home cameras and doorbells. The 'find the studs, drill clean, level it true' work that nobody else seems to come back for.

IKEA & furniture assembly

Speed and accuracy on the IKEA stuff that takes you a Saturday — usually 1–3 hours per item depending on size. PAX wardrobes, BESTÅ, KALLAX, MALM, BILLY, KIVIK, and the rest.

Drywall & paint

Patches, dings, doorknob holes, ceiling cracks, and the spots where the previous owner moved the thermostat. Paint-ready or fully-finished including color match.

Doors & hardware

Doors that drag, latches that don't catch, knobs that wiggle, locks that need replacing. Interior or exterior — except for full pre-hung exterior installs.

Fixtures & swap-outs

The 'unscrew the old one, screw in the new one' jobs that always end up taking three trips to Home Depot. I'll do them right the first time and clean up after.

Outdoor & gutters

Single-story exterior work, deck staining, gutter cleaning, fence-board swaps. Suburbs only — Chicago has different access challenges I leave to bigger crews.
