Residential Handyman Services in Durham
Most Durham projects start with a quick phone call. We give you a free, labor-based estimate over the phone, schedule a Craftsman who fits the work, and send an "On My Way" text with a photo so you always know who's arriving and when. No advance deposit is required for most jobs, and any change to scope is is discussed on site so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Need an entry door that sticks fixed or a lockset replaced? Our door repair services restore both function and curb appeal. Hardwoods or tile showing their age? Our floor repair team brings them back to life. Clogged gutters threatening your foundation? Our gutter repair & cleaning keeps water moving away from the house. We also handle interior and exterior painting, fence repair, drywall repair for seamless walls and ceilings, deck repair to restore weathered boards and railings, and small-job carpentry from trim to custom shelving.
"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
