Handyman in Lower East Side

What this visit usually covers

• A door that sticks or will not latch is often the closer, a hinge, or the strike, not a new door.
• A hole under a couple of square feet can be a patch if the leak that caused it is already stopped.
• Loose hardware, a towel bar, or a curtain rod is a short visit when the wall behind it is sound.
• A punch list of several small items is usually one visit. Post them together so the bid matches the time.

Getting into the building

Lower East Side housing is mostly tenement walk-ups with narrow stairs. Risers and shutoffs are often in a shared basement.

Say if the basement is shared and who unlocks it. A photo of the stair from the entry helps the bid.

What to send with the request

• Each item on the list, close enough to see the hardware.
• The wall or door around the repair, so the fixer can see trim and paint.
• A note of how many floors the tools have to climb.

Gas piping, electrical panels, roof replacement, and opening a structural wall are not handyman posts. Put those in the matching trade.

A remote consult is separate

Fixt Virtual Fix is a video consult at $39 for 20 minutes. It can be booked from anywhere. It does not dispatch an on-site fixer. On-site handyman work stays in New York ZIP codes 100–149.
