Handyman Services in Missoula
Missoula Handyman covers six kinds of jobs across Missoula and Missoula County, from a drywall patch to a fence repair. Every job is quoted, hourly or per-job, before the visit.
General Repairs
Doors that stick, loose trim, gaps that need caulk, and the small fixes that build up around a Missoula home without any one of them being big enough for its own call. These jobs get bundled into one visit rather than scheduled one at a time, which is usually faster and less disruptive than working through a list over several separate trips. Most general repairs use tools and hardware we already carry, so there is rarely a wait on parts. A sticking door, for example, usually comes down to a swollen frame, worn hinges, or a settled house shifting the opening slightly, and each cause gets a different fix. Tip: walk the house before we arrive and write down every small fix you have been meaning to get to, even minor ones, so we can quote the whole list at once.
Drywall Repair
Holes from doorknobs and moving furniture, cracks along seams, and dents that need patching and texture matched to the surrounding wall so the repair does not stand out once it is painted. Small holes and dents are usually quick same-visit fixes, while larger sections or repeated cracking in the same spot can point to a bigger issue worth mentioning when you book. Texture matching takes a bit more time than a flat patch, since it has to blend with what is already on the wall. Tip: point out any spot where a crack or hole keeps coming back, since that pattern is useful information even if the fix itself is simple.
Furniture Assembly and Mounting
Flat-pack furniture that has been sitting in boxes, wall-mounted TVs, and shelving that needs to go up level and secured to the studs rather than just the drywall. Assembly time depends on the piece, and mounting jobs depend on the wall itself, since older Missoula homes do not always have studs where a bracket wants one. Having the piece and any mounting hardware on hand before the visit keeps things moving. Tip: tell us the wall type (drywall, plaster, brick) when you book a mounting job so we bring the right anchors.
Minor Plumbing and Electrical
Straightforward swaps: a dripping faucet, a running toilet fill valve, a light fixture, or an outlet that needs replacing. This covers minor, like-for-like work rather than rewiring, repiping, or anything that changes a home's plumbing or electrical system, which calls for a dedicated trade professional and is outside what a handyman visit covers. Most swaps use a part you already have picked out or one we can pick up on the way. Tip: have the replacement part or fixture on hand, or its model number ready, so we can confirm it fits before the visit.
Painting Touch-Ups
Scuffed walls, nail holes filled and painted over, trim that has picked up marks, and rooms that need a section refreshed rather than a full repaint. Matching the existing color is easiest when we know the paint brand and color name or code, so touch-ups blend in instead of leaving a visible patch. Trim touch-ups usually go faster than wall sections since the area is smaller and the finish is often more forgiving. Tip: leftover paint from the original job, or at least the color name, makes for the closest match.
Fence and Deck Repairs
Loose or broken boards, posts that have shifted, and gates that no longer latch or swing right after a Missoula winter of freeze and thaw. Most fence and deck repairs replace or resecure individual boards and hardware rather than rebuilding the whole structure, which keeps the job contained to a single visit in most cases. Gate repairs often just need hinges or a latch reset once the post underneath is solid, though a post that has heaved out of the ground over winter can take more digging and resetting before the fence line sits straight again. Tip: note which boards, posts, or gates are the problem before we arrive so the visit goes straight to the fix instead of a full walk of the fence line.
