Handyman in Manhattan

A handyman visit is for a short list of small repairs: a door that will not latch, a drywall nick, caulk, or a loose fixture. It is the wrong trade for a panel, a gas line, or a structural wall. Manhattan mixes prewar co-ops, walk-up tenements, and high-rises. A visit often depends on a service elevator, a doorman, or a super who controls the shutoff. On-site handyman visits from Fixt reach Manhattan only when the ZIP code is in New York 100-149, which covers Manhattan. You pay the bid you accept. Posting is free, and there is no homeowner fee. Fixt takes 5% from the fixer payout.

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.

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.
