No one to help you lift, hold, or line it up?
Living solo and need a hand?
Moving one big thing (bed, couch, dresser)?
Don’t know how to hang that art or TV?
Job not big enough for a contractor?
New light or plumbing fixture but don’t want to mess it up?
I help with the stuff that’s easier, safer, or faster with a second person — without upsells, pressure, or contractor-level chaos.

While I’m a licensed HVAC technician, that’s definitely not all I can do.
I’ve spent years diagnosing, fixing, building, and improving everyday mechanical and household problems. I understand how things are built, how loads transfer, how things fail, and how to fix issues cleanly and safely — not by guessing, but by thinking them through.
If something can be repaired, aligned, reinforced, or improved without permits or specialty licensing, I’ll do it right.
If it can’t, I’ll tell you honestly.
THINGS I HELP WITH (SIMPLE)
Moving a bed, couch, or dresser (labor only)
Holding things while mounting
TV mounting
Hanging frames, mirrors, and shelves
Apartment setup after a move
Re-arranging furniture
SKILL ITEMS (STANDARD)
Replacing or installing light fixtures (existing boxes/wiring only)
Installing or swapping plumbing fixtures (faucets, showerheads, toilets — no re-piping)
Diagnosing and fixing small household issues
Adjusting, tightening, aligning, or reinforcing things that aren’t working quite right
“Bits and bobs” — the small stuff that doesn’t justify a contractor
