Open every day, 7am to 7pm
Handyman in San Pedro
Getting a price from a handyman in San Pedro takes one photo, texted to (310) 857-2520, and the answer is back within the hour. We work in South Shores, Barton Hill and the streets around Pacific Avenue.

In San Pedro we usually want two pictures, one of the job and one that shows us the way in. A hillside street in South Shores and an alley behind an older bungalow change how we reach you, and that goes into the price.
We answer by text, so you can send the photo whenever you have a minute, even on a break from a shift at the port.
What you get when you send a photo
- A price within the hour. We text it back, or ask one question if the photo leaves one open.
- The reply costs nothing. That is true whatever you send.
- Open every day, 7am to 7pm. Most jobs go on a morning or an afternoon you pick, and they are done inside the week.
- No surprises at the door. If what we find isn't what the photo showed, you hear it right there, before any work.
- A year on our workmanship. If it comes loose, that visit is free.
What happens after you press send
- We look at your picture and your cross streets, any day from 7am to 7pm.
- Within the hour we text back a price, or one question if something in the picture isn't clear.
- That text covers the work and the clean-up, and it lists the parts the job needs.
- You reply with a morning or an afternoon, and when we arrive we check the job against your picture before we start.
There is more on how it works if you want the longer version.
South Shores, Barton Hill and what we need to see
Postwar homes on the South Shores hillside
These streets climb, so please send one picture from the street showing the front of your house and any steps up to it.
Inside, photograph the job the normal way. If it is on the outside of a window or a door, tell us whether the ground drops away below it, since that changes how we reach it.
Older bungalows in Barton Hill
If you are in one of the older bungalows or Craftsman homes on the grid, keep the trim and the door frame in the picture. That tells us how old the woodwork is and what we are fitting to.
Where the garage is detached and sits on an alley, a picture from the alley shows us how far we carry.
Apartments and condos in San Pedro
Text us the floor and whether the stairs are inside or outside. Near Cabrillo Beach or Angels Gate Park, also say whether the job faces the ocean, because that changes what we expect to see on anything metal.
One wide picture of the room and one close-up cover most jobs in a unit.
Four jobs around San Pedro, and the shot we need for each
A torn screen or a screen door
For window screen repair or screen door repair, stand inside with the screen in place and get the whole frame in the shot. Add a close-up of one corner, which shows us whether the frame can stay when we fix window and door screens.
A sliding door that is hard to move
For a sliding door repair, slide the door halfway and photograph the bottom track, then step back and take the whole door. If there is grit in the track, leave it there for the picture.
A door frame that has moved
If a door has stopped closing, shut it as far as it goes and photograph the gap along the top and the latch side. For a door frame repair or other door repair we also need a picture from a few steps back.
Shower caulk that has come loose
Take one picture of the whole shower from the doorway and one close-up of the worst stretch of old caulk. If the wall behind it looks soft or stained, make sure that shows, and the reply will say if it needs a plumber.
Three small San Pedro questions
Should I tidy up before I take the picture?
No, leave it the way it is, because rust on a hinge or sand in a track helps us price the job.
Can you hang pictures on the same visit as a repair?
Yes, for picture hanging, send a photo of the wall with the frames leaning against it, and tell us how many there are. The reply prices everything together.
What if I work odd hours?
We are open every day from 7am to 7pm, so a weekend morning works as well as a weekday. Pick the morning or afternoon that fits your shift.
What can change a San Pedro price
- The way in. A steep street in South Shores or a long walk from an alley can mean a longer carry, and that is in the text before you say yes.
- How the house was built. The older houses and the postwar ones aren't built alike, so we read the wall from your picture and ask if we can't tell.
- The salt air. Closer to the water, a hinge or a screen frame can need replacing instead of a fix, and your close-up usually shows us that.
- Anything we replace. Each piece is named in the message with your price, and any visit minimum is stated there too.
We go into more detail on how the price is set.
Above or below 25th Street, text your photos to (310) 857-2520 and the price is back within the hour.
We read photos from Carson, Long Beach and Torrance the same way.
Point your phone at it. We'll text back a price within the hour.
