Small Size Jobs

Handyman Oklahoma City

The Contractor You Call When the Job is “Too Small” for the Big Guys

Why Choose Us?

In the current OKC construction boom, it is nearly impossible to get a contractor to come out for a leaky faucet, a single drywall patch, or a fence repair. That isn’t an annoyance to us; it’s our entire business model.

We specialize in the “Honey-Do” list. We show up on time, we offer upfront pricing, and we knock out your list in one visit so you can get back to enjoying your home.

1: Professional Mounting & Installation

Safety, Precision, and the Right Anchors for Every Wall.

Mounting heavy items to a wall seems simple until you hit a metal stud, crumble a piece of vintage plaster, or realize you don’t have the right anchors for Oklahoma brick. We treat mounting as a science, ensuring your valuables are secure and level.

TV Mounting & Wire Concealment

Your television is the centerpiece of your living room. A crooked TV or messy dangling wires can ruin the aesthetic of the entire space.

  • The Process: We locate the studs (wood or metal) to ensure a hold that can support the weight of modern 65”+ screens.

  • Surface Expertise: We mount on standard drywall, lath and plaster (common in Gatewood/Mesta Park), and brick fireplaces (masonry drilling).

  • Wire Hiding: We offer in-wall cable concealment kits (where fire-blocks allow) or paintable external raceways to hide those ugly HDMI and power cords.

Heavy Mirror & Art Installation

Hanging a 50-pound mirror or a large piece of art requires more than a simple nail. We use professional-grade toggle bolts, French cleats, and laser levels to ensure your decor is centered, safe, and perfectly straight. We specialize in:

  • Gallery Walls: Calculating the complex math to space multiple frames evenly.

  • Oversized Mirrors: Ensuring they are anchored into studs to prevent falling hazards.

Window Treatments (Blinds, Shades, Curtains)

Improperly installed curtains often sag in the middle or pull out of the drywall over time. We install curtain rods, roller shades, and venetian blinds properly the first time. We ensure the brackets are spaced correctly to support the weight of the fabric and that the treatment is level relative to the window frame (even if your house has settled and the frame itself isn’t perfectly square).

Shelving & Storage Solutions

Running out of storage space? We install:

  • Floating Shelves: For a modern, clean look in kitchens and living rooms.

  • Garage Overheads: Heavy-duty racks to get your holiday bins off the floor.

  • Closet Organizers: Installing wire or laminate closet systems to maximize your wardrobe space.


2: Interior Repairs & Drywall

Erasing the Wear and Tear of Daily Life.

Oklahoma has expansive clay soil. This means our foundations shift, and our houses move. The result? Cracks in the drywall and doors that stick. We are experts in the cosmetic repairs that make a home feel new again.

Drywall Patching & Texture Matching

There is an art to a good drywall patch. It isn’t just about filling the hole; it’s about matching the texture so the repair becomes invisible once painted.

  • The Damage: We fix doorknob holes, accidental punctures, nail pops (where the screw head pushes through the paint), and settlement cracks above door frames.

  • The Texture: Oklahoma homes feature various textures: Orange Peel, Knockdown, and smooth finishes. We have the techniques to blend the patch seamlessly into the surrounding wall.

Door Repair & Hardware Adjustment

Is there anything more annoying than a door that won’t latch or one that scrapes the floor when you open it?

  • Sticking Doors: We plane down the edges or adjust the hinges to ensure smooth operation.

  • Latch Alignment: If your house has shifted, the latch bolt may no longer line up with the strike plate. We grind the plate or reposition it for a solid “click” every time you close the door.

  • Hardware Updates: We can replace every brass doorknob in your hallway with modern matte black or brushed nickel levers, instantly modernizing your home.

Trim, Baseboard, and Molding

Baseboards take a beating from vacuums, pets, and furniture. We handle:

  • Repair: Filling gouges and repainting trim.

  • Replacement: Installing new quarter-round or shoe molding if yours is water-damaged or missing.

  • Caulking: Filling the unsightly gaps between the baseboard and the wall that appear when seasons change.

3: Fixture Swaps (Plumbing & Electrical)

Modernizing Your Home, One Fixture at a Time.

Disclaimer: We operate under the handyman exemption. We do not perform major electrical rewiring, breaker box replacements, or in-wall plumbing repiping. We specialize in “Like-for-Like” replacements of existing fixtures.

Light Fixture Updates

Lighting sets the mood of a home. If you are still living with the “builder-grade” dome lights (“boob lights”) that came with the house, let us help.

  • Ceiling Fans: We assemble and install ceiling fans to help you survive the Oklahoma summer heat. (Note: The electrical box must be fan-rated).

  • Chandeliers & Pendants: We hang statement pieces in dining rooms and over kitchen islands.

  • Vanity Lighting: Updating the lighting over your bathroom mirror can drastically change the look of the room.

Plumbing Fixture Replacement

A leaky faucet wastes water and stains your sink. An old showerhead ruins your morning.

  • Kitchen Faucets: We install new pull-down sprayer faucets.

  • Bathroom Faucets: We swap out corroded fixtures for shiny new ones.

  • Toilet Repair: If your toilet runs constantly or “ghost flushes,” you likely need a new flapper or fill valve. We rebuild the internal tank components to lower your water bill. We also replace wax rings if you have leaking at the base of the toilet.

Smart Home Installation

Transform your house into a smart home. These devices often require drilling into brick or managing low-voltage wires, which can be intimidating for homeowners.

  • Video Doorbells: Installation of Ring, Nest, or Eufy doorbells (wired or battery).

  • Smart Thermostats: Installation of Ecobee or Nest thermostats for better energy efficiency.

  • Smart Locks: Keypad deadbolt installation so you never have to fumble for keys again.


4: Furniture Assembly

Skip the Frustration. We Speak “Instructions.”

We have all been there: surrounded by cardboard, holding an Allen wrench, and staring at instructions that make no sense. Save your marriage and your Saturday afternoon—let us build it.

We bring power tools and experience to assemble furniture faster and sturdier than the average homeowner can. We handle:

  • IKEA / Wayfair / Amazon Purchases: Dressers, bed frames, nightstands, and bookcases.

  • Office Furniture: Desks, ergonomic chairs, and filing cabinets.

  • Outdoor Living: Patio sets, gazebos, and fire pits.

  • Fitness Equipment: Treadmills, ellipticals, and weight benches (we also dispose of the massive amount of cardboard packaging for you!).


5: Exterior Maintenance & Curb Appeal

Protecting Your Home from Oklahoma Weather.

Our local weather is extreme. High winds, ice storms, and intense sun take a toll on the exterior of your home. We provide the maintenance needed to keep your curb appeal high and your home watertight.

Fence Repair

In Oklahoma, it’s not if your fence will break, but when. The wind is merciless on wood fences.

  • Picket Replacement: You don’t always need a new fence. We can replace individual broken “dog-ear” pickets.

  • Post Stabilization: If a post is leaning but not rotted, we can often brace it or reset it.

  • Gate Repair: We fix sagging gates, replace rusted hinges, and adjust latches so your backyard remains secure for your pets.

Gutter Cleaning & Minor Repair (Single Story)

Clogged gutters lead to water overflowing, which can damage your foundation or rot your fascia boards.

  • Cleaning: We remove leaves, mud, and roof grit from your gutters and downspouts.

  • Repair: We re-secure loose gutters with hidden hangers and seal leaking seams.

Mailbox Repair

Is your mailbox leaning? Did a delivery truck clip it?

  • Post Repair: We can dig out the old concrete and set a new 4×4 post.

  • Box Replacement: We install new metal or plastic boxes on existing posts.

  • Brick Insert Boxes: We can install new metal inserts into existing brick mailbox columns.

Pressure Washing

Over time, Oklahoma red dirt and mildew turn driveways and patios a dingy color. We use surface cleaners to power wash:

  • Driveways and sidewalks.

  • Concrete patios and porches.

  • Wood decks (soft wash preparation for staining).


6: Senior Safety & Aging in Place

Helping Your Loved Ones Stay Safe at Home.

We take great pride in helping senior citizens in OKC maintain their independence. Small modifications can prevent falls and make daily life easier.

  • Grab Bars: Secure installation of grab bars in showers, next to toilets, and in hallways. We ensure these are anchored into studs for true weight-bearing support.

  • Handrails: Tightening loose banisters and installing new handrails on garage steps or front porches.

  • Accessibility: Installing lever-style door handles (easier for arthritic hands than knobs) and brighter LED lighting to improve visibility.

Comprehensive Services We Offer in Oklahoma City

Our expertise covers a wide range of trades. Because we focus on small jobs, we carry a versatile toolkit that allows us to tackle plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and general maintenance in a single visit.

How Our Service Works

We strive to make the process as seamless and transparent as possible. We know you are busy, so here is what you can expect when you hire us.

1. The “To-Do List” Assessment When you contact us, we ask for a list of the tasks you need completed. We encourage you to send photos of the repairs (e.g., a photo of the drywall hole or the faucet model). This allows us to provide a rough estimate before we even arrive.

2. Pricing & The “One Hour Minimum” We value transparency.

  • Hourly Rate: For general lists of miscellaneous repairs, we charge a competitive hourly rate.

  • Minimum Charge: We have a strict one-hour minimum charge. This covers our travel time, insurance, and vehicle expenses.

  • Tip for Homeowners: If you have a job that will only take 20 minutes, look around your house! Find two or three other small things for us to do (change a high lightbulb, tighten a cabinet hinge) to get the full value of your hour.

  • Flat Rates: For specific, standard jobs like TV mounting or Ceiling Fan installation, we often offer a flat rate price so you know exactly what the total will be.

3. Materials & Parts

  • Truck Stock: We carry a van stocked with standard screws, anchors, nails, caulk, and glues. These small consumables are generally included in our service.

  • Specific Materials: For items specific to your taste—such as the light fixture, the faucet, the towel bar, or the specific paint color—we recommend you purchase these beforehand. This ensures you get exactly the style you want and saves you money on us shopping for you.

  • Shopping Service: If you prefer, we can shop for materials for you. This is billed at the cost of materials plus a shopping trip fee.

4. The Work & Clean Up We treat your home with respect. We wear boot covers when necessary, use drop cloths to protect your floors, and we always clean up our dust and debris before we leave. You shouldn’t have to clean up after your cleaner/handyman.

The Benefits of Hiring a Handyman for Small Jobs

Many homeowners try to DIY these small tasks. While we admire the spirit, there are significant benefits to outsourcing this work to a professional.

Save Your Weekend

Do you really want to spend your Saturday standing in the aisle of a hardware store trying to guess which screw anchor you need? By hiring us, you reclaim your free time. Go enjoy the Guthrie Art Walk, visit the Pollard Theatre, or just relax with your family while we handle the work.

The Right Tools for the Job

Installing a TV mount might seem easy until you hit a metal stud or realize you don’t have a level. We arrive with a fully stocked van. We have the drills, saws, levels, voltage testers, and specialized fasteners to handle unexpected surprises immediately.

Prevent Minor Issues from Becoming Major Disasters

A small water spot on the ceiling is a cheap fix today (a little stain blocking primer and paint). If ignored, it becomes a rotted beam and a mold remediation project. Fixing a loose fence picket now costs a few dollars; ignoring it until the wind catches the panel and rips down the whole section costs hundreds. We help you stay ahead of the curve.

Seasonal Maintenance Checklist for Oklahoma City Residents

To help you understand how we can assist year-round, here is a seasonal breakdown of small jobs we commonly perform in the area.

Spring: Storm Prep & Exterior

  • Gutter Check: Ensuring winter debris is gone so spring rains flow freely.

  • Screen Repair: Fixing holes in window screens so you can enjoy the breeze without the bugs.

Summer: Heat Protection

  • Ceiling Fan Installation: Getting air moving to lower your A/C bills.

  • Pet Door Installation: Giving your pets freedom so you don’t have to constantly open the door, letting cool air out.

Fall: Winterizing

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do you have a minimum charge? A: Yes, we typically have a minimum hourly charge or a “service call” fee to cover travel and setup time. However, we encourage clients to “stack” their jobs. If we finish the main task quickly, have us fix that loose doorknob or change those high lightbulbs to fill the time!

Q: Do I need to provide the materials? A: It depends. For specific aesthetic items (like a specific light fixture, ceiling fan, or towel rack), we prefer you purchase the item so you get exactly the style you want. For general materials (screws, drywall mud, caulk, lumber), we provide those and include the cost in the invoice. We can also pick up materials for you for a small fee.

Q: Are you insured? A: Absolutely. We carry general liability insurance. This protects you and your home in the unlikely event of an accident. Never hire an uninsured worker to work on your property.

Q: Can you do electrical or plumbing work? A: We perform minor maintenance and replacement tasks. In Oklahoma, major electrical (moving circuits, new panels) and major plumbing (gas lines, new rough-ins) require specific state licenses. We stay strictly within the “handyman” scope—replacing existing fixtures and performing repairs. If a job requires a licensed trade, we will tell you immediately.

Q: How quickly can you get to my job? A: Because we focus on small jobs, our schedule is more flexible than a general contractor’s. We can often schedule work within the same week, and occasionally offer same-day service for emergencies like a broken door lock.
