What do our handyman services cover?

LocalHandyPro offers handyman services across Dallas–Fort Worth for the jobs that pile up. A door that won't latch. A towel bar hanging by one screw. Caulk around the tub that went gray two summers ago, and the blinds that came with the house and never worked. None of these is worth a day off on its own, and together they eat a Saturday.

Most of our visits are lists, and we like it that way. Put everything on yours, even the thing you think is too small to mention. Once someone is standing there with the right bit in the drill it's often five minutes; left off the list, it's a second trip.

Bigger items can share the visit if they fit in the day: a dresser to build, a TV to hang, a shelf for the garage. If they don't fit, they get their own day, and you'll know which is which before anything is booked.

What's in the job, and what isn't

What we do

Doors that stick, drag or won't latch
Towel bars, hooks, shelves and curtain rods
Re-caulking tubs, showers and backsplashes
Weatherstripping and door sweeps
Small drywall patches and paint touch-ups
Furniture assembly or a TV mount on the same visit

What we don't

Plumbing repairs: leaks, faucets, toilets, drains
Electrical work, light fixtures and ceiling fans included
Smart doorbells, thermostats and locks
Roofing, HVAC and anything involving gas

For leaks and wiring you want a licensed plumber or electrician. We'd rather tell you that on the phone than send someone who can't finish the job.

How booking works

  1. Send the job

    Text us the list, with photos if you can, or use the form. Addresses and times can wait.

  2. Get the price

    We reply within 24 hours with one price for the whole list. Nothing is booked until you say yes.

  3. Look it over with us

    Before we pack up, you walk through the finished work with whoever did it.

That's how we prefer it. Send the whole list with a photo of each item if you can manage it, and we'll price it as one visit. If something on it needs a day of its own, like a big playset or a full room of paint, we'll split it out and tell you why.

Yes. If you care about the brand or the finish, say which and we'll buy that one. If you don't, we'll get something that fits and matches what's already there. It goes on the quote before anything is bought, so there's no surprise receipt at the end.

Not at the moment. That rules out dripping faucets, running toilets, light fixtures, ceiling fans and outlets. A licensed plumber or electrician is the right call for those, and Texas takes both licenses seriously. Most of the rest of a typical list is ours.

One of our technicians, or two when the job needs another pair of hands. Every technician is background-checked and carries their own liability insurance. They bring their own tools, ladders and drop cloths.

Tell us and we'll send another technician to finish it properly. You walk through the work before anyone leaves, which catches most things, but if a shelf starts to lean a week later, call anyway.

Phones are answered Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 8 PM. A request sent through the site at midnight gets a reply within 24 hours, same as one sent at noon.

What can a handyman legally do in Texas?

Texas has no license for general handyman work, so hanging, assembling, patching and fixing things around the house is open to anyone who does it well. Plumbing, electrical and air-conditioning work are different. The state licenses each of them, and none of those rules has a handyman exception.

That's where our list stops. We'll mount the TV but not move the outlet behind it, and we'll patch the drywall once someone qualified has fixed whatever was leaking into it. If a job on your list crosses that line, we'll say so when we quote rather than on the day.

Why send the whole list at once?

Because on a small job, the drive and the setup take longer than the work. One visit that clears eight things is a better use of your morning than eight visits, and it tells us what to bring: the stud finder and anchors, the caulk gun, the step ladder for the smoke alarm nobody can reach.

It also stops the list growing back. The squeaky hinge gets oiled while the door is being adjusted anyway. The cabinet handle gets tightened on the way past.

Assembly jobs slot in well. A bed frame or a bookcase from our furniture assembly list fits beside the repairs, and the bigger backyard kits have their own page.
