"John S was great to work with! We had various projects around our home that we needed to get fixed — gutter, caulking, sealing, etc. He was very thorough and did not do work that wasn't needed. We are super pleased with the work and will be using Ace Handyman again." — Arthur M., Durham

One call, a whole punch list

Because our Craftsmen are multi-skilled, a single visit often clears a list that would otherwise take three different contractors. Trim that needs recaulking, weatherstripping that's failing, a patch-and-paint touch-up, a fixture swap, we knock them out in one trip.

"Ethan K. took care of a bunch of tasks around our house: fixing some swollen trim, recaulking tubs and showers, fixing weatherstripping, some patching and painting. The work was well done and Ethan was prompt and easy to work with. Recommended!" — Pat S., Durham

Drywall, Floors & Finish Work

Durham's older housing stock means a lot of settling cracks, water-stained ceilings, and finish work that has to match what's already there. Our Craftsmen repair drywall so the patch disappears, retile and repair floors, and handle the careful finish details such as trim returns, molding cuts, and caulk lines that separate a real repair from a quick cover-up.

"Bradley did a professional job installing drywall and was very courteous. He made note of a special cut with the molding so it would fit perfectly." — Amy F., Durham
