Where we work
Handyman in Pasadena
Handyman in Pasadena, for homes that have had a hundred years to develop a list. Craftsman doors that stick in winter, hardware that worked loose, trim that needs a careful touch-up. We take the small jobs, one visit at a time.

Small repairs in older Pasadena homes
Bungalow Heaven, Madison Heights and the streets around them are full of homes from the 1900s to the 1920s. They were built well, and they still move with the seasons.
- Solid wood doors that swell and stick when the rain comes
- Original knobs, latches and hinges that worked loose
- Hairline cracks in plaster above doors and windows
- Gaps where wide baseboards and casings meet the wall
- Wood window screens that need re-screening
We start with the smallest fix that works, and we keep the original hardware when it can be saved.
Ranch homes, too
Hastings Ranch and the east side are a different house: 1950s single-story ranch homes with original bathrooms and long, low gutters.
That list is usually tub and sink caulk, a running toilet, sliding closet doors off their track and one-story gutters under old street trees.

Questions
Do you work on historic homes?
Yes, for small repairs and upkeep. Tell us about the house when you send your list, and we'll go over each item with you before the visit.
Can you fix a door without replacing the old hardware?
Usually. Most sticking doors need a hinge, strike or edge adjustment, and the original knob and plate stay where they are.
Do you cover South Pasadena and Altadena?
Yes. South Pasadena (91030) and Altadena (91001) are both in our service area.
