The to-do list, finally done - by people who'll show up.
Home repairs and handyman work across East Village, Lower East Side, and Manhattan. One call, fixed-price quote, real timelines.
5.0from 12 Google reviews
Most handyman calls don't get returned. Or they do, weeks later, with a vague price and a flexible time window. We don't run that way - if the project is real, you get a real quote in 48 hours and a start date you can hold us to.
We handle the punch list of small projects most contractors won't touch: drywall holes, sticking doors, broken fixtures, paint touch-ups, small carpentry, light tile repair, faucet swaps. The same crew that does our full remodels handles repairs - so you get the same quality at the scale of what you actually need.

What does a handyman cost in East Village?
$200 minimum visit – $5,000+ multi-day
Minimum visit is $200, which usually covers 60-90 minutes of skilled work plus basic materials. Most punch-list visits land in the $300-$800 range. Multi-day projects (full painting, larger repairs) are quoted as fixed-price packages. We don't bill by the hour - you get a number before we start.
Handyman work has a reputation problem - mostly because most handymen run their business out of a notebook in a truck. We run it like every other contracting job: written quotes, scheduled windows, clean job sites. No different from a kitchen remodel, just smaller.
Real handyman projects in Manhattan
“Amazing work. Quick, responsive, great results. My fridge broke and the leak damaged the wood floor around it. They suggested replacing the wood with porcelain tile in the wet area and it turned out beautifully — and protects against a future leak. Will definitely use them again. Highly recommend.”
