Handyman in Van Nuys

If you own one of the apartment buildings in Van Nuys, your tenant is usually the one who can see the problem. Have them send you the picture and forward it to us, and we can take it from there.
In the houses, a detached or converted garage is the thing we look for first, because it changes what we are working on.
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.
Your street, your garage and your tenant
Do you come to my part of Van Nuys?
Yes, we cover all of Van Nuys, from Van Nuys Airport down to the Sepulveda Basin, and your cross streets tell us where you are.
Is a converted garage any different?
It can be, so please say so in the text. A room that used to be a garage may not be built like the rest of the house, and a wide picture of the wall helps us read it.
Can my tenant be home for the visit in place of me?
Yes, we price your tenant's photo the same way and can arrange the visit with them directly.
What makes a Van Nuys price higher or lower
- The building. A bungalow, a tract house and an apartment each have their own walls, and your wide shot tells us which we are pricing.
- The carry. An upstairs unit on Sepulveda Boulevard or a detached garage takes longer to reach, and the text mentions it.
- What gets replaced. The same message names it, whether that is a screen, a hinge or a length of weather stripping.
- The visit. Any visit minimum is stated in the price text, so it is no surprise.
We go into more detail on how the price is set.
Van Nuys buildings and the shot each one needs
Older bungalows around the Civic Center area
Please keep the trim and the door casing in the picture along with the job. They tell us how old the woodwork is and what we are fitting to.
For door repair, shut the door and show the latch side.
Postwar tract houses
A single wide shot often settles it, as long as we can see the floor and a door in the shot.
For a garage job, photograph it from inside, and tell us if the garage is detached or has been turned into a room.
Apartments along Sepulveda Boulevard and Sherman Way
Tell us the unit and the floor, and whether the job is inside the apartment or on a shared wall outside it.
For new window and door screens across a building, send one picture of each window.
Valley Glen, next door
Valley Glen gets the same reply from the same number, so send your cross streets with the picture.
For TV mounting, stand back so the wall and the outlet both show.
How it goes after you hit send
- We get your picture any day between 7am and 7pm.
- Within the hour you have the price, or one question if we need to ask it.
- The price covers the work and the clean-up, with the parts named. If it looks like a job for a plumber or an electrician, the reply tells you.
- You pick a morning or an afternoon, or your tenant does.
- We check the job against your picture, then get to work.
We lay out how it works at more length.
