General Home Repairs (Handyman Services) in Gaithersburg, MD
Every home builds up a list of small things that need fixing -- a door that sticks, a loose handrail, a light fixture that needs swapping, a small drywall dent from moving furniture. None of it is big enough to justify a full remodel, but it's also not the kind of thing most people want to tackle themselves on a weekend. That's what this service is for: the smaller, faster jobs, handled in one visit whenever possible.
Carlos treats a repair list the same way he treats a bigger project -- walk the list, give a straight estimate, and get it done without turning a small job into a bigger hassle than it needs to be.
What this service typically covers
- Doors, cabinets, or drawers that stick, won't latch, or are off their hinges
- Loose railings, trim, or small carpentry fixes
- Fixture swaps -- light fixtures, hardware, small plumbing fixtures
- Small drywall dents, dings, or nail holes that need patching
- A running list of small items you've been meaning to get to

Home repair & handyman questions
Is there a minimum job size?
No -- C&M takes on small repair jobs, including a single item. It's often more efficient, though, to batch a few small things into one visit if you've got a running list.
Can you knock out a list of several small repairs in one visit?
Yes -- that's the most common way this service gets used. Tell Carlos what's on the list when you call and he'll plan the visit around it.
Do you charge by the hour or by the job?
Carlos will look at the list of repairs and give you a straight estimate before starting, so you know the cost upfront rather than watching a clock.
How do I know if my project is a "repair" or needs a full remodel quote?
If it's a fix to something that already exists -- a door that won't latch, a loose railing, a small drywall hole -- that's a repair. If you're changing the layout or updating every finish in a room, that's a remodel. Not sure which yours is? Describe it on the call and Carlos will tell you.
Do you handle repairs inside and outside the home?
Yes -- interior punch-list items and smaller exterior repairs both fall under this service. Tell Carlos what you're dealing with.
Got a repair list piling up?
Call and run through it -- Carlos will tell you what it takes.
