Services

Four trades, one handyman.

The inside of the house, plus the trim under the roofline. Pick one and it opens the form with that job ticked.

A hallway ceiling where a water-stained section of drywall was cut out and a new piece screwed in, the seams taped and first-coated

Drywall

Doorknob holes, cracks and ceilings stained by a leak: cut out, patched, taped and sanded smooth, ready for paint.

A hallway halfway through a new coat of paint: the top of the wall in a new soft grey, the bottom still tan, a brush resting on an open paint can

Interior painting

Walls, ceilings and trim inside the house, with a clean line where the wall meets the ceiling.

How it works

From your first text to the last coat.

  1. Tell him what needs fixing

    Tap the job or fill in the form. A photo by text to (757) 500-3114 shows him the most.

  2. He comes back with a price

    Matthew looks at what you sent, asks what he needs to know, and tells you what the job takes.

  3. One person does every step

    The patch, the paint, the tile: the same person from the first cut to the last coat, so the job never stalls waiting on another trade.

Start to finish

Most repairs need more than one trade.

A leak means new drywall, then paint. A new backsplash can mean patching the wall the old one tore up. Matthew does each step, so you're not booking a second trade or waiting on one.

Questions

Before you reach out.

Do you come to my town?
Matthew works across Hampton Roads. Put your town in the form, or text it to (757) 500-3114, and he'll tell you.
What will my job cost?
It depends on the size of the job and the materials. Send a photo and a few words about it, and Matthew comes back with a price.
What should I send?
A photo from a step back with the whole spot in frame, one close up, your town, and a line about what happened (a leak, a doorknob through the wall, a tile that cracked). The more he can see, the better the first answer.
Will a patch-and-paint job take more than one visit?
It can. Joint compound has to dry between coats and before primer goes on, so a drywall repair that ends in paint isn't always a one-day job. Matthew tells you how long yours will take.
Do you work outside too?
Yes: soffit and fascia under the roofline. The rest is inside the house: walls, ceilings, trim and tile.
