What Actually Changes the Price
Size of the job — A small drywall hole takes 30 minutes. A full wall section is a different story.
Materials needed — If we have to supply materials (drywall sheets, flooring, paint), that adds to cost. You can also supply your own to save money.
How long it’s been ignored — A door that’s been dragging for 2 years is harder to fix than one you noticed last week. Same with leaky faucets that caused water damage underneath.
Multiple jobs at once — This is actually where most Forest Park homeowners save money. If you have 3–4 small things that need fixing, we can knock them all out in one visit and you’re not paying a separate trip fee each time.
The Honest Answer
Most homeowners in Forest Park call us with a list not just one thing. A sticky door here, a hole in the drywall there, a ceiling fan that wobbles, a faucet that drips. One visit usually handles all of it for $300–$600 total, which is way cheaper than calling 3 different people for 3 different problems.
We’re local. We’re based right here at 1040 Marengo Ave, Forest Park, IL so no long travel fees, no waiting a week for someone to drive in from the city.
