What our home repair service in Charlotte covers
Our home repair service handles the jobs too small for a remodel and too fiddly to keep putting off. Most lists are a mix of trades, which is why one multi-trade crew gets through them faster than a string of separate appointments.
- Drywall: holes, cracks, water-stained patches and doorknob dents.
- Doors: sticking, dragging, not latching, or new doors and frames.
- Trim and carpentry: loose baseboard, damaged casing, stair parts and shelving.
- Floors and tile: cracked tiles, lifted boards and worn thresholds.
- Fixtures: lights, fans, faucets, towel bars and the like.
- Windows: re-sealing frames and repairing sills.
Who books a repair visit
Most repair calls come from homeowners with a list on the fridge that only gets longer, from landlords getting a unit ready between tenants, and from sellers working through the buyer's inspection report against a closing date.
If you are working to a deadline, say so on the first call. A closing date or a move-in date changes how a repair list is planned.
When a repair is a sign of something bigger
Because we also remodel, we notice when a small problem is a symptom. A few to watch for:
| What you see | What it can mean |
|---|---|
| A soft or spongy floor near the toilet or tub | A slow leak that has reached the subfloor |
| A brown ring on the ceiling | A leak from a bathroom, roof or HVAC line above |
| Doors that suddenly stick, with cracks over the frame | Movement in the framing or foundation |
| Tiles that crack again after being replaced | A subfloor that flexes too much |
| Paint that keeps bubbling in one spot | Moisture coming through the wall |
Patching the surface without fixing the cause means paying for the same repair twice. If we think that is happening, we will tell you.
Text us the list
The quickest way to start is a text to (704) 706-0597 with a photo of each item and a line about what is wrong. A photo of a hole in the drywall with a hand next to it, for scale, tells us more than a paragraph.
We reply with what we can do and set a time to look. We are open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm, with Sundays by appointment.
Repairs from a home inspection report
Inspection reports mix urgent items with notes that do not need any work. Send us the pages with the repair requests, or the full report, and we will go through which items we can handle.
Some items in a report belong to licensed specialists, such as electrical panels, gas lines and roofing. We will tell you which items are ours and which need someone else, so nothing gets missed before closing.
What to do first in an emergency
A home repair service is not an emergency service. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility from outside. If water is pouring in, shut off the main water valve and call a plumber. Once the emergency is over, the repairs to drywall, floors and trim are the part we can help with.
It is worth knowing where your main water shut-off is before you need it. In many Charlotte-area homes it is near where the water line enters, in a crawl space, a garage or a closet.
How repair work is priced
Repairs are priced by the list, after we have seen the items, and the price is confirmed with you before the work starts. Grouping several items into one visit is usually cheaper than booking them one at a time, because the setup and travel happen once.
