Text for a quote, or book the day. $75 an hour. $600 for a full day. The work gets finished.
A quote prices the whole job. The day is for when you already want me on site.
Why homeowners call me
You talk to me. Not a crew, and not someone who hands the job off. Tell me what’s going on. I’ll figure out what it actually needs, give you a couple of options, and then I’ll do the work. You know the plan before I start. The same person finishes it.
What I handle
Full-scope jobs and the days in between. If it lives in a house, I probably already have the tool for it.
Walls, headers, joist repair, custom sheds, and structural work that stays square.
Panel upgrades, recessed LEDs, exhaust fans, sub-panels, and knob-and-tube problem solving.
3-inch drain upgrades, under-slab rough-in, bathroom re-pipe, and finish work I stand behind.
Hang, tape, mud, sand, and prime. Popcorn ceilings out. Smooth walls in.
Garage conversions and ground-up ADUs — foundation to finish, one accountable lead.
Tile showers, floors, and backsplashes. Layout, waterproofing, vanities, lighting, punch-list clean.
Shower and floor tile, laminate, LVP, and transitions — tight, level, and ready to live on.
Subfascia replacement, rot repair, torch-down, vents, and weather-tight edges.
Weather barrier, stucco prep, and finish coats that look like a full crew was here.
Widen doors, drop thresholds, grab-ready baths. Dignity built into the framing.
6-inch and 4-inch recessed LEDs, canless retrofits, and rooms that finally feel finished.
If we do everything the job needs, I guarantee the work. Skip a step, I won’t warranty it.

The rate
One rate. It doesn’t drop to win the job, and it doesn’t jump because the work got bigger. Six hours is $450. Eight hours is $600. Bigger than a day? Text for a quote. Ready for me on site? Book the hours.
$75/ hour
This is the price. A short list — a light, a faucet, a door, a repair that does not need the whole day.
$150 minimum in Downey, Lakewood, and nearby. Farther out, travel is a number you hear before I drive.

From the jobs
“
Chris is the only handyman you’ll ever need. He widened my doors, rebuilt the bath so I can use it, and treated the house like it was his. I tell everyone in Downey the same thing.

Old knob-and-tube in the attic, lights flickering, panel maxed out. He upgraded us to 200 amp, explained every step, and the house finally feels safe. Full rewire is next — with him.

Rotten subfascia the last guy missed. Chris replaced it with pressure-treated, fixed the shiplap, and left a clean white edge for the new roof. Punctual. Clean. No drama.

Bathroom was a shell. He aligned the shower, toilet, and tub, tied in a 3-inch drain, and finished it like a remodeler — not a handyman who ‘also does tile.’ Worth every day rate.
