Minor home repairs are the hourly rate, and most punch lists clear in two to three hours. We work through mixed lists — a sticking door, a loose towel bar, a running toilet, a nail hole, a wobbly railing — in one visit for homes and rentals from San Francisco to San Jose.

Typical jobs and time
Time ranges are what these jobs usually take; you're billed for the actual hours worked, and the price is confirmed before work starts. See pricing.

| Typical move-in punch list | 2–3 hours |
| Move-out list with patching and touch-ups | 3–4 hours |

How it goes
Send the list
A written list, or photos by text, is enough to schedule the right amount of time and bring the right parts.
Walk it together
The list is confirmed at the door and anything out of scope is flagged before starting.
Work top to bottom
Items are handled in an efficient order and any parts run is combined into one trip.
Sign off
You check each item before we leave; anything that needs a part ordered gets a follow-up date.
Minor Home Repairs in Bay Area homes
Rental turnover is a big part of life on the Peninsula, from San Francisco flats to apartments near Caltrain in San Mateo and Mountain View. A move-out punch list before the deposit walkthrough — patch, touch-up, tighten, and replace — is one of the most common calls.
Homeowners in San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale tend to save lists over months: a screen door that won't close, a fence board, a running toilet, a loose railing. All of that fits in one afternoon.

Minor Home Repairs: questions people ask
What counts as a minor home repair?
Anything small enough to finish in one visit without a permit — hardware, squeaks, small leaks, drafts, patches, and general wear and tear.
How long does a punch list take?
Most lists of six to ten items take two to three hours. Send the list ahead and you'll get a time estimate.
Is there a minimum?
Yes, one hour. A single item is fine, but combining a few items into one visit is the best value.
Do I need to buy parts?
Common parts — weatherstripping, hardware, plumbing fittings — are on the truck. Specific items you want, like a particular towel bar, you buy and we install.
Do you handle rental turnovers?
Yes. Landlords and property managers use the service for between-tenant lists; half-day and full-day blocks are quoted up front.
