Company Background
Chris S Repair is a Petaluma-based handyman and light electrical service run by Chris Stroh, who has been in the trade since 1983. Starting his own business in 1998 after 15 years of experience, he spent years maintaining 50 diverse rental properties across the Bay Area, which included remodeling units and honing a wide range of skills. A licensed Class B General Contractor for 24 years, Chris is proficient in light electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, and general handyman repairs. Now focusing on smaller, one-person jobs that suit his hands-on approach, he operates as a sole proprietor, personally handling all work and communication. He prefers initial contact via email ([email protected]) with photos of the project for efficient assessment. His services range from furniture assembly and door repair to circuit breaker installation and light fixture work, but he does not handle tile, flooring, fences, or heavy labor. Pricing is straightforward at $100 per hour plus materials, with ballpark estimates provided for transparency.
Questions and Answers
Do you handle common Petaluma electrical issues like underground cable damage or generator connections?
Yes, as an experienced handyman with light electrical expertise, I can help with issues specific to our area. For underground cable damage from soil shifts, I assess the situation and perform safe repairs or recommend a full replacement if needed. I also assist with connecting backup generators to your home's electrical system, ensuring a proper and safe setup. For any complex electrical work beyond my scope, I'll provide an honest referral to a trusted, licensed electrician in Petaluma.
What's your process for a handyman repair or installation job?
I'm a one-man operation, so you deal directly with me from start to finish. I prefer you email me ([email protected]) with pictures and a description of the job first. This helps me understand the project and give you a realistic ballpark estimate. For jobs like furniture assembly, door repair, or light fixture installation, I then schedule a time, complete the work myself, and charge $100 per hour plus the cost of any materials needed. I focus on clear communication and getting the job done right.
You offer both plumbing and electrical services. What kind of projects do you typically take on?
My 24 years as a licensed general contractor gave me broad experience in light plumbing and electrical work. I handle common repairs and installations like fixing a leaky faucet, installing a new outlet, repairing a doorbell, or replacing a light fixture. I focus on smaller, manageable projects—think a single bathroom update or wiring a new ceiling fan. For major system overhauls, new construction plumbing, or heavy-duty electrical panels, I recommend specialized contractors, as my expertise is best suited for the hands-on repairs and installations many Petaluma homes need.
