Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions we hear most.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — fully licensed and insured. License number and insurance carrier details will be displayed on this site once finalized; ask anytime and we can provide proof on request.
What's your service area?
We serve Washington, Clinton, Perry, and St. Clair counties in southern Illinois — including Nashville, Addieville, Carlyle, Breese, Belleville, Mascoutah, Pinckneyville, and Du Quoin. Each county has a regular service day to keep travel costs low.
How quickly can you start a project?
Most small jobs are scheduled within 1 to 2 weeks. Larger rehab work depends on current project load — text a photo of what you have in mind and we can usually give you a realistic timeline within hours.
Do you do small jobs (under $200)?
Yes. There is a one-hour minimum on visits, but small "honey-do" items are exactly the kind of work we do well — and we bundle multiple small fixes into a single trip whenever possible to keep your cost down.
What's your pricing structure — hourly or fixed-bid?
Most repair work is hourly with a one-hour minimum. Larger projects (flooring, full rehabs) are fixed-bid after a consultation so you know the total before we start.
Do you provide free estimates?
Photo-quote estimates are free — text a photo and we will reply with a ballpark range. For larger projects that need on-site measurements, a $75 consultation fee applies and is credited 100% toward your labor when you book the job.
What's the $75 consultation fee credited against?
The full $75 is applied to your labor invoice if you book the job after the consultation. So in practice the consultation is free for booked jobs — and it covers travel and on-site measurement time if you decide not to proceed.
Do you haul away debris?
Small amounts of debris (drywall scrap, old fixtures, packaging) are hauled away as part of the job. Large hauls (flooring tear-out, deck demo) are quoted separately so you can choose to handle disposal yourself or have us include it.
Do you work weekends?
Occasionally, on a case-by-case basis — usually for emergencies or for customers whose weekday schedules cannot accommodate a visit. Standard weekday rates apply.
Do you do new construction or only rehab?
Our focus is rehab and finish work — taking existing homes from "tired" to "renewed." We do not handle ground-up new construction or major structural work, but we are happy to refer those projects to trusted contractors.
