BUILT SOLIDHOME SERVICES

Handyman services in Crystal Lake and nearby communities.

Drywall, doors, mounting, trim, tile, caulk, gutters, deck repair, seasonal deck care, and the punch-list work that keeps getting pushed to next weekend. Clear scope and a free estimate before work begins.

Deck care belongs here

Repair and maintain the deck you already have.

An existing deck with a defined repair or finish problem follows the handyman path. New construction and full replacement follow the separate Decks project path.

Kitchen, bathroom, basement, or full-home project? Remodeling has its own consultation and build process.

Free estimates

A real estimate for the real task list.

Every home is different. Access, existing damage, materials, finish expectations, and the number of tasks can change the work considerably, so we do not publish a generic price list.

Start by sending the complete task list, photos, location, and product information. We review what belongs together and flag anything that requires a licensed trade or different project path.

Your estimate is free. It reflects the reviewed scope and explains the useful next step before anything is scheduled.

If the scope changes after hidden conditions are uncovered, we discuss the change with you before additional work proceeds.

Scheduling you can plan around.

Send the task list, photos, and ZIP code. We will confirm what fits, what materials are needed, and the arrival window before putting the visit on the calendar.

Honest scope

What we won't take on as handyman work.

We turn down work that doesn't fit our scope. If your job needs a licensed trade or a specialist, we'll tell you and point you to someone who does it well.

  • HVAC system installs and major repairs — refer to an HVAC contractor
  • Septic and well systems
  • Plumbing work of any kind — use a licensed plumber
  • Electrical wiring, devices, fixtures, panels, and circuits — use a licensed electrician
  • Paint-disturbing work in pre-1978 homes until lead-safe eligibility is confirmed
  • Roof inspection, repair, replacement, and tear-offs
  • Tree removal or trimming
  • Concrete pours and masonry walls

Planning a kitchen, bathroom, basement, or whole-home project? Use the remodeling process instead of trying to fit it into a handyman visit.

Frequently asked questions

Are estimates free?
Yes. Send the complete task list, photos, location, and any product details. We review the scope and provide an estimate at no charge.
How is my estimate prepared?
The estimate is based on the actual work, existing condition, access, materials, finish expectations, and anything that requires a separate trade. We do not use a generic online price list.
How fast can you get here?
Timing depends on the work and any materials we need. Send the full task list and photos, and we will confirm the appointment and arrival window before booking.
What if my job needs a permit or licensed trade?
We review the scope before scheduling. If the work requires a permit, licensed trade, engineer, or specialist outside our documented handyman scope, we will tell you before booking rather than blur that line.
What if I have a list of small jobs across the house?
Send us the whole list. We will review what fits together, flag anything that needs a different trade, and prepare the estimate around the complete scope.
