Residential Repair + Improvement
FUNCTION / FORM
Thoughtful repair, installation and improvement work for the parts of a home that need to work better, look better, or both.
FORM = f(FUNCTION)
Good form begins with what the thing needs to do.

What we do
Small repairs, punch-list work and focused improvements handled with attention to both the practical problem and the finished result.
Home repairs
Doors, hardware, fixtures, trim, electrical, plumbing and the everyday failures that accumulate around a house.
Installation
Fixtures, shelving, wall-mounted items, hardware, accessories and other homeowner-supplied products.
Finish + detail work
Trim, caulk, patching, alignment, adjustment and the details that make completed work feel complete.
Punch lists
Bundle a collection of smaller tasks into one efficient visit instead of scheduling them one at a time.
Troubleshooting
Methodical diagnosis when the problem is not obvious and the right repair has to be identified first.
Small improvements
Practical upgrades to make an existing space function better without turning it into a full renovation.
Pricing
Defined work is priced by the project whenever possible. Small jobs can be bundled together so the cost reflects the visit rather than a pile of individual line items.
Project pricing
QuotedWhen the scope is clear, you receive a project price before work begins rather than watching an hourly meter.
Diagnostic visit
$150Includes up to the first 90 minutes of diagnosis. If additional diagnostic time is warranted, that is discussed before continuing.
Detailed consultation
$125For projects needing deeper planning, measurements or a detailed written scope. Credited in full toward projects of $750+ approved within 30 days.
Standard estimates for clearly defined work are free.
Common questions
Answers to the questions that tend to come up around pricing and how the work is structured.
Why is there a $150 minimum for a small job?
The minimum covers travel, setup, tools, cleanup and the time reserved for the visit. If you have several small items, combining them into one appointment is usually the most economical option.
Do I pay $150 plus the project price?
No. The $150 is a minimum charge, not a fee stacked on top of every job. If the agreed project price is already above the minimum, you simply pay the agreed project price.
Why is troubleshooting charged differently?
With troubleshooting, the problem has to be identified before the repair can be accurately priced. Diagnostic time pays for the investigation itself, even if you decide not to proceed with the repair.
Is the diagnostic charge credited toward the repair?
No. Diagnostic work is completed work in its own right. Once the problem is identified, any additional repair is priced separately.
When would an estimate cost $125?
Only when preparing the estimate requires meaningful onsite measurements, investigation, planning or a detailed written scope. Standard estimates remain free.
What happens if something unexpected is found?
You will be told what was found and what it changes before any additional work outside the agreed scope is performed.
How it works
Straightforward communication, a defined scope and a finished result that makes sense for the house.
Send the project
Email a description, photos and anything you already know about the job.
Define the scope
We determine whether it can be quoted remotely, needs an estimate visit or requires diagnosis.
Do the work
Once scope and price are clear, the focus is on executing cleanly and finishing the details.
