Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle common Grayslake electrical issues like rodent-damaged or overheated wiring?
Yes, absolutely. Electrical safety is a priority. For rodent-damaged wiring, I safely remove the compromised sections and install new, secure wiring to prevent future issues. For overheated outlets or switches, I diagnose the cause—often an overloaded circuit or faulty connection—and replace the components with properly rated, code-compliant hardware. I ensure all repairs meet local safety standards to protect your home.
What is your pricing structure for a handyman project?
My pricing is transparent. I charge by the hour with a one-hour minimum, and I do not add any service fees, dispatch charges, or markups on materials. You pay only for the time I work and the exact cost of materials, which I can help you purchase or you can supply yourself. This approach keeps costs fair and predictable, with no surprises on your final bill.
Can you manage a large project like a kitchen remodel or room addition from start to finish?
Yes. With decades of experience in construction and remodeling, I can oversee entire projects like kitchen remodels, bathroom additions, or deck construction. This includes initial design consultation, coordinating necessary permits, all phases of construction, and final inspections. I handle the details so you have a single, reliable point of contact for your major home improvement.
