Straight answers.

Text me a photo of the spot and I'll text back a flat price for the whole job. That number doesn't move unless the job turns out to be something other than what's in the photo — and if it does, I'll tell you before I start, not after.

When it's done and you've looked at it. No deposit, no card on file, no payment up front.

Usually this week, often the next day. You'll get a real arrival time — an actual hour, not a four-hour window.

No. You buy the TV mount, the doorbell, the fan — whatever it is — and I install it. That keeps my price flat, means you own the parts, and means you're not paying a markup on something you can get delivered tomorrow. If you're unsure what to buy, text me and I'll tell you what fits.

Yes. The person who quotes the job is the person who shows up and does it. You won't get a dispatcher, a rotating crew, or somebody who's never seen the photo you sent.

Anything that needs a building permit — new circuits, new outlets, panel work, repiping, water heater or HVAC changeouts, gas lines, structural changes. Also anything where the total cost of the job would run to $1,000 or more. Those need a licensed contractor, and I'd rather refer you to one than take on something I shouldn't.

Because California law is specific about it, and because you should know exactly what you're hiring. I'm an unlicensed handyman working alone under the AB 2622 exemption. That's the honest description, so it's on every page rather than buried in a terms link.

San Diego County — the city itself plus La Jolla, Chula Vista, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Poway, La Mesa, El Cajon, Oceanside, and Escondido. North County days get batched, so if you're in Carlsbad or Oceanside there are fewer slots but a real arrival time when you get one.

Yes, that's included. The box goes with me.

Text me. If it's something I did, I'll come back and fix it. Working alone means there's nobody to hand that off to, which is the point.
