Drywall damage is one of the most common repair requests from Cincinnati homeowners. Whether caused by water damage, accidental impact, or years of wear, we handle patches of all sizes — from small nail holes and screw pops to full section replacements. After patching, we feather the compound to blend seamlessly with the surrounding wall, sand smooth, and apply primer so the repaired area is paint-ready. We also address texture matching on ceilings and walls where needed.
| Included Tasks & Scope |
|---|
| Small and large hole patching |
| Water damage section replacement |
| Tape and mud joint repairs |
| Texture matching (knockdown, orange peel, smooth) |
| Ceiling drywall repair |
| Corner bead repair and replacement |
Properly installed doors and windows improve energy efficiency, security, and curb appeal. We handle full installations of interior and exterior doors including pre-hung units, as well as window replacements for single windows or multiple openings. All installations include proper shimming, leveling, weatherstripping, and trim work. We also handle adjustments to existing doors that stick, bind, or have alignment issues caused by settling or humidity changes.
| Included Tasks & Scope |
|---|
| Pre-hung interior and exterior door installation |
| Storm door and screen door installation |
| Window replacement and installation |
| Door adjustment and realignment |
| Weatherstripping and threshold replacement |
| Door hardware installation (handles, locks, hinges) |
A fresh coat of paint is one of the most effective ways to refresh a room or improve exterior curb appeal. We handle interior rooms, trim, doors, ceilings, and cabinets, as well as exterior surfaces including siding, shutters, porches, and fences. Our process includes proper surface preparation — cleaning, patching, sanding, and priming as needed — before applying finish coats for a clean, lasting result. We protect floors, fixtures, and furniture and leave the space clean on completion.
| Included Tasks & Scope |
|---|
| Interior room painting (walls, ceilings, trim) |
| Exterior siding and trim painting |
| Door and cabinet painting |
| Surface preparation and priming |
| Caulking and crack sealing before paint |

Skilled carpentry work covers everything from installing new trim and molding to repairing damaged structural elements. We handle baseboards, crown molding, chair rail, and window and door casing installations. We also build and install shelving, repair damaged wood trim, and handle small framing tasks. Quality carpentry is detail-oriented work — proper cuts, tight joints, and clean lines are the standard we hold ourselves to on every job.
| Included Tasks & Scope |
|---|
| Baseboard and crown molding installation |
| Window and door casing |
| Chair rail and wainscoting |
| Custom shelving and built-in storage |
| Wood trim repair and replacement |

Upgrading or replacing fixtures is a straightforward way to modernize a bathroom, kitchen, or other space. We handle the swap-out of light fixtures, ceiling fans, bathroom vanity lights, exhaust fans, faucets, showerheads, towel bars, toilet seats, and similar hardware. All work is done safely and to manufacturer specifications, and we confirm everything is functioning properly before finishing the job.
| Included Tasks & Scope |
|---|
| Light fixture and ceiling fan replacement |
| Bathroom exhaust fan installation |
| Faucet and showerhead replacement |
| Toilet seat and hardware replacement |
| Towel bars, grab bars, and bathroom accessories |

Many common household plumbing and electrical issues fall well within handyman scope and do not require a licensed contractor. We handle small plumbing repairs including leaky faucets, running toilets, slow drains, and supply line replacements. On the electrical side, we replace outlets, switches, GFCI receptacles, and light fixtures. We know the limits of handyman work and will always recommend a licensed professional when a job exceeds those boundaries.
| Included Tasks & Scope |
|---|
| Leaky faucet and fixture repair |
| Running toilet repair and flapper replacement |
| Supply line and shutoff valve replacement |
| Outlet and switch replacement |
| GFCI outlet installation |
| Light fixture and ceiling fan wiring (standard swaps) |
Deferred maintenance adds up quickly. Many homeowners find it more efficient to schedule a single visit to address a full list of smaller tasks rather than handling each individually. We work through punch lists covering a wide variety of interior and exterior maintenance items — tightening, lubricating, sealing, patching, adjusting, and replacing as needed. A regular maintenance visit helps protect your home from minor issues becoming major repairs.
| Included Tasks & Scope |
|---|
| Caulking and weathersealing (windows, doors, bathrooms) |
| Gutter cleaning and minor repairs |
| Screen repair and replacement |
| Deck maintenance and minor repairs |
| Fence repair and post stabilization |
| Punch list visits — multiple small tasks in one appointment |
