Handyman Services in San Marcos FAQ
Common questions about handyman services in San Marcos.
Do you offer Handyman Services in San Marcos?
Yes — we provide handyman services in San Marcos and nearby North County San Diego areas. Request an estimate and we'll confirm timing.
How much does a handyman charge per hour in North County San Diego?
Rather than hourly rates, we provide project-based estimates so you know the total cost upfront. Most small repairs run $150-$400, while half-day punch lists typically range $400-$800 depending on scope. Request an estimate with photos for accurate pricing.
Can a handyman mount a TV on the wall?
Yes — TV mounting is one of our most common requests. We handle everything from finding studs and running cables to mounting the bracket and tidying up wire management. Most TV mounts take 1-2 hours depending on wall type and cable concealment needs.
What's the difference between a handyman and a contractor?
Handymen handle smaller repairs and installations that don't require permits — think repairs, mounting, punch lists, and minor improvements. Contractors typically handle larger projects requiring permits, structural work, or licensed trades. We'll tell you upfront if a project needs a specialist.
Do you fix doors that won't close properly?
Absolutely. Sticking doors, misaligned strikes, loose hinges, and weatherstripping issues are everyday handyman work. We can also replace door hardware, install new locksets, and adjust closet doors that have come off track.
Can you help with a home sale punch list?
Yes — pre-sale punch lists are a specialty. We can knock out the typical items buyers and inspectors flag: drywall repairs, caulking, hardware fixes, door adjustments, and touch-up painting. Many clients bundle 5-15 items into a single efficient visit.
