The dent behind the door
Every house has one. The doorknob swung a little too hard, and now there's a fist-sized dent in the drywall that everybody just stopped seeing.
[describe this job: where the hole was and how long it had been there]
The fix: cut the damaged spot square, back it, patch it, feather the compound out wide so you can't see the edges, then prime and paint to match as close as the wall allows.
The part people forget: add a door stop afterward, or you'll be patching the same spot next winter.
DM "DENT" with a photo of your drywall damage for a quick quote.

Estimates without the mystery
"Can you just give me a ballpark over the phone?"

1. Send a few photos and a short description to [PHONE] or through [BOOKING LINK]
2. For simple jobs, we can often quote from the photos
3. For anything with more unknowns, we come take a look at [DATE & TIME] slots that fit your day
4. You get a written estimate before any work starts. [OFFER TERMS]
And if it's not a handyman job, we'll tell you so and point you toward the right trade.
Text your photos to [PHONE] to start your estimate.

Thursday · Toolbox Thursday
Meet the humble shim
Shim (noun): a thin, tapered wedge, usually wood or plastic, that fills a small gap so something sits level, plumb or tight.
You'd be amazed how much of a finished house depends on these little things. They sit behind door jambs so the door swings true. Under cabinets so the countertop doesn't rock. Under a washer so it doesn't walk across the floor.
When a door suddenly won't latch, sometimes a shim behind the jamb has crushed or slipped over the years.
Cheap, humble, and quietly holding your house together.
Save this and impress someone with your new tool vocabulary.
