02 / Limits
What I do, and what I do not
What I do
Honey-do lists, several small jobs in one visit
One service call instead of six. The most sensible way to use my services.
TV mounting and cable tidying
Into the studs, leveled twice, cables out of sight.
Doors that won't close, latch or stay put
Usually the slab moving. Usually still a one hour fix.
Drywall holes, dents and cracks, patched and painted
Textured to match, so you can't find the repair afterwards.
Furniture assembled and leveled
Anchored to the wall as standard. Cardboard flattened into your bin.
Pictures, mirrors and shelves put up level
Laid out on the floor first, so you approve it before I drill.
Blinds and shades measured and fitted
Measured at your window, not guessed from the box.
Grab bars and bathroom safety fittings
Anchored to hold a person going down, not a towel.
Fence pickets, rails, posts and sagging gates
Gates squared and braced so they latch first time.
Interior painting, rooms, trim and doors
Flat price per room. Cut in by hand, two coats.
Gutter cleaning on single story homes
Cleared by hand and flushed. Debris bagged and left in your bin.
Cabinet hardware, hinges and drawer slides
Drilled from a jig, so they all line up.
Best left to someone else
Anything to do with water lines or drains
Texas licenses that trade separately. Call someone who holds that license.
Anything behind the breaker panel
Same reason. It's a licensed trade and I'm not it.
Air conditioning and heating
Licensed trade. Not my lane.
Gas, of any kind
Not worth anybody's risk. Call the utility or a licensed trade.
Roofs
I don't go up there. Gutters on a single story house are as high as I work.
Second story ladder work
One man, no spotter. The answer is no.
Fitting or rekeying locks
Texas licenses locksmiths and I don't hold that license. A locksmith is faster at it anyway.
Appliance installation
Usually ties into water, gas or a dedicated circuit. See above.
Remodels and additions
That's a general contractor and a permit. Different job entirely.
Hauling and trash removal
I flatten the cardboard and bag the debris and it goes in your bin. It doesn't leave in my truck.
House cleaning
Not what I do.
Landscaping and tree work
Not what I do.
Anything over about 75 pounds on my own
I would drop it on your floor.
