Services we provide across the Triangle
We're a true full-service handyman company. Our craftsmen handle everything from quick fixes such as a sticking door, a cracked tile or a TV that needs mounting to multi-day projects like a kitchen or bathroom update. Here's what we've completed since opening in April 2022:
Drywall & ceilings: over 1,000 projects completed
Holes, water damage, full-room finishes, ceiling crack repair and popcorn ceiling removal, common in older Raleigh and Cary homes built between 1960 and 1980. → Drywall services
"Eric did an amazing job fixing a hole in the drywall behind our stove and in the flooring under our stove. He was able to come out just a few days after we called and got everything fixed in a couple of hours. He explained everything that he did and why which I really appreciated. We will absolutely be reaching out again the next time we need handyman services. Thank you Eric!" — Jasmine S., Google review
Doors, windows & attic access: over 1,000 door projects completed
Sticking doors, replacement installs, weatherstripping and hardware. North Carolina's humidity expands and contracts wooden doors through the year, so many fit problems are about the frame, not the door itself. Wobbly or missing attic access? We handle attic stairs installation across Raleigh and the Triangle. → Door services · Window services
Decks & outdoor structures: several hundred projects completed
Board replacement, railing repair, restaining, full deck restoration and wood rot repair. Triangle decks take a beating from sun, humidity, pollen and summer storms, and most need real attention every three to five years. → Deck services
"Just got a set of deck stairs replaced by Bradley from Ace Handyman Services. Very pleased with the results. Looking forward to getting the other sections done once materials are ordered." — Bobby M., Google review
TV mounting & home theater: several hundred installs
On drywall, brick and stone, inside and out, with proper anchoring, cable management and the right mount for your screen's weight. → TV mounting
Kitchen updates: dozens completed
Cabinet refreshes, countertop installs, backsplash installation and repair, fixture upgrades and full kitchen updates for Triangle homes. → Kitchen upgrades
Bathroom refreshes and remodels: dozens completed
Tile, vanities, fixtures, tub surrounds, shower pans and accessibility updates including walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions. → Bathroom remodeling
Wood rot repair: a North Carolina specialty
Humidity, storm debris and termite-prone wood mean rot is common around door frames, window sills, fascia boards and deck posts. We replace the damaged wood properly instead of painting over it. → Carpentry and rot repair
"Had a great experience with Scott to replace one window sill and remove another one - very friendly (with me and my pets) and was out in half the time estimated! Will definitely ask for him again in the future." — Justin S., Google review
Aging-in-place modifications
Grab bars, handrails, ramps, wider doorways and walk-in showers, anchored into studs or solid blocking rather than drywall anchors that pull out, and placed where they'll actually be used. → Grab bar installation · Aging-in-place services
And the rest
Pressure washing, gutter cleaning and repair, interior and exterior painting, fence and gate repair, recaulking and grout repair, smart-lock installation, fixtures, holiday lighting, shelving, hanging and mounting. If it's a home repair project, we probably do it, and we'll tell you on the phone if we don't.
"My experience with Ace Handyman Services was again exceptional. Ethan H took care of several projects for me, including repairing a loose toilet paper holder (and painting the drywall!), hanging 4 pictures and working on a gate that wasn't hanging straight. I will use their services again and definitely recommend them." — Jama G., Google review

Why Triangle homeowners pick Ace Handyman
Our craftsmen are employees, not subcontractors
Ace Handyman Services is part of the Ace Hardware family, and every craftsman is a background-checked, insured W-2 employee (not a subcontractor). No surprise faces at your door, and no liability gaps between a contractor and a homeowner.
A real warranty, in writing
Every job comes with a one-year workmanship warranty. If something we did fails within a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. That commitment is part of why we've earned 4.9 stars across 1,500+ Google reviews.
Transparent time-and-material billing
You pay for the time the job actually takes plus the materials used, not a flat rate with a "just in case" buffer built in. We estimate the scope over the phone, tell you the rate up front and bill for the hours worked. Projects of $2,000 or more may qualify for 0% financing for six months, subject to approval.
You know who's coming, and when
You get a confirmed appointment time, not a "between 8 and 5" window, and an on-my-way text with your craftsman's name and photo before they arrive in a marked vehicle and uniform.
One call handles the whole list
Most homeowners juggle three to five trades for a typical project list. We bundle the work: drywall, paint, doors, hardware and fixture installs in one visit, with one craftsman and one invoice.
How it works
1. Call or book online. Tell us what you need fixed, replaced or installed. Share the full list: the doors that stick, the deck that needs work, the bathroom project you've been thinking about.
2. We estimate over the phone. Based on what you describe, we tell you the rate, when we can get there and roughly how long the work should take, so you know what to budget before anyone is on your property.
3. A craftsman arrives on time. Marked vehicle, uniform, the right tools. Most projects finish the same day.
4. You're billed for the actual time plus materials. The time the work takes, at the rate we quoted on the phone.
5. Have a bigger project on the list? While we're on site, ask your craftsman to take photos and measurements. We prepare the estimate from those, with no extra trip.
6. You're covered. One-year workmanship warranty, in writing.
Built for the Triangle, with local ownership
We're a locally owned office, part of the Ace Hardware family, run by people who live here and know what Triangle homes actually need.
Humidity and wood rot. Door frames, window sills, soffit boards and deck posts rot here faster than in drier climates. The mistake we see most often is paint over rotted wood instead of a replaced board. We know the difference between cosmetic damage and a structural problem.
Pollen and pressure washing. Spring pollen covers every horizontal surface from late March through May. Our pressure washing handles siding, decks, driveways, walkways and roof edges where moss sets in.
Hurricane season and summer storms. From June through November we get the wind, the water intrusion and the falling-branch damage. We're set up for fast turnaround on storm repairs: fence sections, loose shutters, broken gutters, damaged trim.
Older Raleigh homes. Inside-the-Beltline neighborhoods like Five Points, Hayes Barton and the Cameron Village area often have plaster walls, original hardwoods and trim profiles that aren't made anymore. We treat them with the care they deserve.
Newer Triangle subdivisions. Knightdale, Wake Forest, Holly Springs, Wendell Falls and Flowers Plantation have their own patterns: builder-grade fixtures that fail early, settling cracks in fresh drywall, deck boards that weren't sealed properly the first time, undermount sink brackets that let go. We know them.
HOA-friendly work. Many newer neighborhoods (Brier Creek, Amberly, MacGregor Downs, Preston) have strict appearance rules. We match what's allowed and document the work so you don't end up with a violation letter.
