FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What kinds of projects can a Painter or Carpenter for a Day handle?

    More than you'd expect. Common requests include touch-up and accent-wall painting, drywall patching, trim and molding repair, door adjustments, hardware and fixture installation, minor carpentry fixes, and the assorted small jobs that pile up around a house. Not sure if your project fits? Just ask. We'll tell you honestly whether the program is the right call or whether a standard estimate makes more sense.

  • How much does it cost?

    The program is priced as a straightforward day rate for the craftsman's time, with any materials available at our discounted contractor rate. That keeps it simple and predictable, with no surprises at the end. It's an easy, low-commitment way to finally clear a few things off your list.

  • What if my project takes longer than a day?

    Some do, and that's no problem. If it turns out the work needs more time, we'll talk through your options before going further. You can book another day, or if the project is bigger than we first thought, we'll quote it out properly. Either way you're working with the same team that's already in your home and knows the project.

  • Is one day actually enough to get something done?

    For a lot of household projects, yes. A skilled craftsman with the right tools and no distractions gets through a surprising amount in a focused day. And because you're getting a true professional, the work is done right, not just done fast. For bigger jobs, the day is still a productive start, and we'll tell you up front what's realistic.

  • Do I need to provide any tools or materials?

    No. Your craftsman arrives with the tools and equipment for the job. If your project needs paint or carpentry materials, we can supply them at our discounted contractor rate, or you're welcome to provide your own. We'll sort out the details when we scope the day, so you know what to expect before we start.
