The list of small jobs that never gets done
Including retaining walls
Regular upkeep so small problems stay small
Most repairs cross more than one trade. A leak leaves a stained ceiling and bubbling paint. A new shower needs waterproofing, tiling and painting. I handle those together, so you get one quote and one person responsible for the result.
A photo of the problem helps me understand the job before I visit.
I come out, look at the job and give you a free, no-obligation quote in writing.
I'm on every job and keep you updated. If anything changes along the way, you hear it from me first.
No. I come out, look at the job and give you a written quote free of charge, with no obligation to go ahead.
Yes. Send me the whole list and I'll quote for all of it together.
Geyser and new toilet installations are done by a registered plumber. I arrange that for you, so you still make one call.
