Handyman in Austin, Texas

Common jobs in Austin

Austin is the center of Dan's service area, and he works across the city and the neighborhoods around it.

Here are the jobs Dan most often does in Austin, along with everything else on his list.

Austin jobs have also included anchoring a closet bar to studs, installing a heavy custom shelf, fixing a bedroom door that kept pulling apart at the hinges, repairing yard gates and kitchen cabinets, and hanging curtains. In South Austin, Dan has installed several curtain rods and hung very large pictures.

More Austin jobs: an electric winch bolted to a garage ceiling, a very heavy low-hanging chandelier raised, a stairwell light fixture swapped out when it was too high to reach, a challenging painting and a heavy mirror hung exactly where they belonged, a damaged garage wall patched, light bulbs, office blinds and furniture looked after, and artwork mounted for its YouTube channel, for a local TV station over many years, IKEA wardrobes built standing up in a low-ceiling room and, for another customer, a used one put together from loose pieces with missing parts, shelves and bike racks hung level, a smart door lock installed with its code set, closed pop-up air vents opened back up after an AC duct cleaning, a living room ceiling fan installed on a weekend, an entry way light fixture replaced and a solid wood beam installed as a fireplace mantle, a college student's bed, dresser, desk and bedside table built and then reassembled at each move, a fence looked at promptly with advice on making it stable, faux wood plantation shutters installed on 34 windows in a new home, a front door problem traced to a door handle that just needed replacing, a garbage disposal brought back with a simple fix so it did not need replacing, four shelf, rack and picture-hanging projects placed exactly where the customer wanted, drywall patched and painted with a few extra spots touched up, and a bathroom light fixture replaced and cleaned up within an hour.

In Austin, Dan has also prepared rental properties for new tenants, from a dog-scratched door jamb to new light fixtures, shower heads and mini blinds.

One Austin customer had a bunch of repairs done at once: light fixtures installed, grab bars put in a tub and shower, sheet rock repaired and painted, and caulking around outdoor woodwork.
