When the back deck needs another year of staining before it really starts to go. When the laundry room door has been sticking since last summer. When the punch list of small projects around a house just keeps growing. The list of small home-repair jobs that pile up rarely justifies a full contractor, but it does justify a craftsman who shows up, gets it done, and stands behind the work.

★★★★★
"I had multiple things that I needed done around my home. Gerry did not disappoint. I had some concerns with one project that I needed done, and he came up with a solution. He did a great job, and finished below the time estimated. I will recommend anyone looking for a handyman to call Ace and ask for Gerry."

Neighborhoods We Work in Most
Knightdale has grown fast over the last decade, and the housing stock reflects that. Established neighborhoods around Bedford and Knightdale Station (27545) often need wood-door refinishing, drywall patching, gutter repair, and deck refinishing on porches and back decks that have been through ten Carolina summers. Newer construction in Hedingham, Princeton Manor, Planter's Walk, Mingo Creek, and the Widewaters corridor tend to call for HOA-friendly exterior maintenance, fresh interior paint, fixture upgrades, and the build-out work that turns a builder-grade home into one that actually fits the family living in it.
We also regularly work in the surrounding communities, including Wendell, Zebulon, Eagle Rock, and the neighborhoods between Knightdale and Clayton. ZIPs we work in most: 27545, 27591, 27597.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a handyman in Knightdale cost?
We bill time and materials, not flat-rate. Most small repairs are 1-3 hours of labor; larger projects (full-room paint, deck refinish, bathroom remodel, multi-room work) range from a half-day to several days. We give a labor estimate over the phone before scheduling. Materials are billed separately and you have two options: supply them yourself (no markup, no warranty on materials), or have us shop them for you (markup applies, materials warrantied).
Do you offer financing for larger projects?
Yes. For projects $2,000 and up, we offer 0% financing for 6 months plus low monthly payment options through our partner lender. Approval is typically completed online in a few minutes. Ask about financing when you call (919) 296-3748 for an estimate.
What kinds of jobs do you handle?
Painting, doors, decks, drywall, carpentry, bathroom and kitchen updates, gutters, pressure washing, fencing, aging-in-place modifications, TV mounting, furniture assembly, fixture replacement, small commercial work, and the remainder of the honey-do-list repairs that come up in a home or small business. If you're not sure whether we do it, call (919) 296-3748 and ask.
Do you work in Hedingham, Princeton Manor, Planter's Walk, or Mingo Creek?
Yes, those are some of the Knightdale neighborhoods we work in most often. We serve all of Knightdale (27545) and surrounding Wake County communities including Wendell, Zebulon, Eagle Rock, and the neighborhoods between Knightdale and Clayton.
How quickly can you schedule a job?
Most small repairs and standard installs are scheduled within the same week the estimate is given. Larger projects requiring special-order materials may take 2-3 weeks to start. Tell us what you need on the phone and we'll tell you the realistic earliest date.
Are you licensed and insured?
We're fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation, BBB-accredited, and all our craftsmen are background-checked. Our work is backed by a one-year workmanship warranty. North Carolina doesn't have a "handyman license", that credential doesn't exist in this state. Handyman services operate under the "handyman exception" for projects up to $40,000. Specialty trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) require their own licenses regardless of project size. If you're evaluating any handyman in North Carolina that claims to be "licensed," ask to see the actual license document, it could be a GC license or a specialty trade license, never a handyman license.
