Your House Is Broken.
Let’s Fix It.
Water on the floor? AC blowing hot air? A hole in the wall?
We do drywall, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, HVAC, painting, and fences. You don’t need a 50-page manual; you just need someone who knows what they’re doing to show up at your house. We’ve been doing this in Atlanta since 2009. Pick what’s broken below and let’s get to work.
Tell Us What’s Wrong
Fill this out. A real person will call you back in 30 minutes.
Fixing the Holes Without Leaving a Trace
You punched a hole moving the couch, the dog chewed up the corner, or a pipe leaked and left a brown stain on the ceiling. Whatever caused it, a bad drywall patch is worse than the hole itself. If someone just slaps some mud over a big hole and paints it, it’s going to look like a lumpy mess. You’ll see it every time you walk in the room.
We don’t do quick patches. If the hole is bigger than a doorknob, we cut out the damaged section, install a proper backer board, and fit a new piece of drywall in there. We tape the seams, coat it with joint compound, and sand it smooth. The hard part is the texture. Atlanta homes have all kinds of weird textures—knockdown, orange peel, smooth, or that old-school swirl. If you don’t match the texture perfectly, the light will hit the patch differently and it’ll stick out like a sore thumb. We match it perfectly.
We also know you don’t want your whole house covered in a layer of white dust. We hang plastic barriers around the work area and use a HEPA vacuum hooked up to our sanders. When we leave, the wall is fixed and the rest of your house is just as clean as it was when we got there.
Fix My DrywallWhen the Lights Start Acting Weird
If your lights flicker every time the AC kicks on, or you have to push a plug in just right to get it to work, something is wrong. Electrical issues aren’t just annoying; they’re a fire hazard. Atlanta has a ton of older homes with wiring that wasn’t built for modern electronics. We find the problem and fix it, so you can stop worrying about it.
We handle everything from swapping out a dead outlet to upgrading your entire breaker panel. If a breaker keeps tripping, it’s trying to tell you the circuit is overloaded or there’s a short somewhere in the line. We trace the lines and find the weak spot. We don’t guess. If we have to open up a wall to run a new wire, we do it cleanly and patch it right back up.
A lot of homes down here have aluminum wiring or ungrounded outlets. Both are major red flags. We can update those to safe, modern standards. We also install ceiling fans, swap out old light fixtures for newer LEDs, and add outdoor outlets so you can plug in your Christmas lights without running extension cords through the doggie door.
Fix My ElectricalStopping the Leaks and the Water Bills
A dripping faucet is like throwing a few pennies in the trash every minute. A running toilet is literally flushing money down the drain. But the real nightmare is a pipe that bursts under the sink or a water heater that decides to die in the middle of the night. We fix leaks, clear clogs, and swap out water heaters before they cause thousands in water damage.
Here’s the thing about Atlanta: we have huge old oak trees, and their roots love water. If your main drain keeps backing up, tree roots have probably found their way into the pipe. Snaking it will clear it for a month, but the roots will grow right back. We use cameras to actually see what’s going on inside the pipe. If it’s roots or rusty old cast-iron pipes collapsing, we’ll tell you straight up and give you a real fix.
If your water heater is on its last legs, we won’t just try to sell you the most expensive one on the market. We’ll explain your options, tell you how long your current one has left, and give you a flat price to swap it out. We work fast, keep the water contained, and clean up the mess so you can get back to normal.
Stop the LeakFighting the Georgia Humidity
Wood and Georgia humidity don’t mix. One week it’s raining, the next week it’s bone dry and 95 degrees. Wood swells, shrinks, and eventually starts to rot. That’s why you see so many window sills peeling, doors that stick in the summer, and decks that feel a little too soft when you walk on them.
We don’t just cover up rotten wood with a fresh coat of paint. If a board is soft, we cut it out and replace it with treated or rot-resistant lumber. We make sure everything is square, sturdy, and safe. If your deck stairs are getting bouncy, we rebuild them. If your exterior door won’t close right because the frame has warped, we re-frame it.
We also do custom carpentry. If you want built-in bookshelves that actually fit the weird angles of an old house, or you need custom cabinets for a tricky kitchen layout, we build them. We use the right screws, the right sealants, and we take our time to make sure the final product is something you’re proud to show off. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about making sure it’s safe and lasts.
Hire a CarpenterSurviving the Atlanta Summer
When it’s July in Atlanta, the humidity is thick enough to swim in. When your AC decides to quit, it’s not just uncomfortable, it’s miserable. We repair and tune up air conditioners, furnaces, and heat pumps. We fix the stuff that drives you crazy, like a system that runs all day but never cools the house down, or a blower that rattles the whole ceiling.
Most AC companies will tell you that you need a brand-new system the second they pull into your driveway. We don’t do that. If a $200 capacitor or a clogged drain line is the problem, we’ll fix that and get you back to cooling. A lot of problems come down to airflow. If your filter is clogged or your ducts are leaking, your system is working twice as hard and costing you a fortune on your power bill.
We check the thermostat, the coils, the drain lines, and the ductwork. If your system really is on its last legs and a repair won’t make it through the season, we’ll give you an honest recommendation on what size and type of system you actually need for your square footage. No upselling, just straight facts so you can make the right call.
Fix My ACA Good Paint Job Is All in the Prep
If a painter shows up with a bunch of buckets and some rollers, and starts immediately painting your walls, kick them out. A good paint job is 80% preparation. If you don’t fill the nail holes, caulk the cracks, and tape off the trim, you’re going to have a sloppy mess on your hands. And if the outside of your house is peeling, and they just paint right over it, it’s going to peel again in six months.
We take the time to do it right. We cover your furniture, lay down drop cloths, and actually take the outlet covers off instead of painting around them. We scrape away peeling paint, sand it smooth, and use a good primer so the new paint actually bonds to the surface. We use high-quality paint that can handle the Georgia sun and humidity.
We do full interior and exterior painting. We also refinish cabinets. If your kitchen looks dated but the wood is still solid, painting them is a whole lot cheaper than ripping them out and buying new ones. Whether you want a clean, modern white for the whole house, or a bold accent wall, we make sure the lines are razor-sharp and the finish is flawless.

After a few years of rain, wind, and Georgia sun, fences start to lean. Gates stop latching, pickets go missing, and the whole thing starts to look like an eyesore. If your dog keeps escaping through a gap in the back, or your front fence is bringing down your curb appeal, we can fix it.
When we build a new fence, we don’t cut corners. That means setting the posts deep in concrete so they don’t shift when the ground gets soft. It means using galvanized hardware that won’t rust out in two years. We build fences to handle whatever Atlanta weather throws at them. We work with wood, vinyl, and chain-link. If you need a privacy fence to block out the neighbors, or a picket fence to boost your curb appeal, we’ve got you covered.
We also handle fence repairs. If your gate is dragging on the ground or a tree limb fell and took out a panel, we can replace the damaged sections without making you pay for a whole new fence. We make sure everything is level, plumb, and built to stay standing long after we leave. We can even handle the staining or painting so it’s ready to go the day we finish.
Fix My FenceDrywall Repair in Atlanta
Your walls shouldn’t look like a patchwork quilt. Here is a straight-talk look at why Atlanta homes get so many cracks and holes, and exactly how we fix them so you can’t even tell we were there.
Why It Happens Here
If you live in an older Atlanta neighborhood like Grant Park or Decatur, you probably have a few cracks in your ceiling or above the door frames. It’s not because your house is falling down. It’s because of the dirt.
We have some of the worst soil in the country for building homes. That red clay expands when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries out. As the seasons change, the ground under your foundation constantly shifts. Your house moves a tiny bit with it, and drywall doesn’t like to bend. It snaps.
On top of the soil, our summers are basically a sauna. The humidity makes the wood framing in your house swell up. When you blast the AC, it shrinks back down. That constant back-and-forth is why you see hairline cracks running along the seams of your walls and ceilings.
How We Actually Fix It
If you call us for drywall repair in Atlanta, we aren’t going to just smear some spackle over the crack and call it a day. It’ll just crack again next season. We fix the root of the problem.
First, we cut out the loose, broken section. Then, we screw a new piece of drywall into the studs so it’s actually secure. We tape the seams with mesh or paper tape and coat it with joint compound. We do multiple thin coats, sanding between each one so it’s perfectly flat.
The real trick is the texture. Older homes here have everything from a light orange peel to a heavy knockdown or a hand-troweled swirl. If we don’t match that exact texture, the light will bounce off the patch differently and it will look like a sore thumb. We match it perfectly, prime it, and paint it so it blends right in.
Don’t Let Someone Paint Over a Water Stain
If you have a brown spot on your ceiling, don’t just paint over it. That stain means water is getting in from somewhere—usually a roof leak or a plumbing issue in the attic. If you paint over it without fixing the leak, the water will just push the paint right off the wall. We find the source of the leak first, fix that, and then repair the drywall. We also use a stain-blocking primer so that old water mark never bleeds through the new paint.

Finding a trustworthy electrician in Atlanta shouldn’t feel like a gamble. If you live in an older home, the electrical system was built for a totally different world. Here are the warning signs your house is trying to tell you about.
The Disco Effect
Do your lights dim or flicker every time the AC kicks on or the microwave starts? That’s not normal. It means your electrical panel in your Atlanta home is struggling to keep up with the demand, or you have a loose neutral wire.
The Hot Plug
If an outlet feels warm to the touch, or you see scorch marks around a plug, stop using it immediately. That’s a sign of a loose connection or an overloaded circuit heating up inside the wall. It’s a common issue we see on electrical repair calls.
The Tripping Breaker
If you have to go out to the garage and reset the breaker every single week, the breaker is doing its job. It’s telling you there’s a short circuit or an overloaded wire somewhere in the house that needs attention.
The Old House Headache
A lot of intown Atlanta homes still have two-prong outlets with no ground wire. Some even have aluminum wiring. Aluminum expands and contracts over time like a breathing lung. Eventually, it loosens up at the connection point and can start a fire inside the wall.
We also see a ton of DIY jobs from previous owners. Extension cords running through walls, wires spliced together with just electrical tape, and breakers that are way too big for the wire they’re protecting. It’s a mess, and it’s dangerous.
How We Actually Fix It
When you hire us as your electrician in Atlanta, we don’t guess. We use meters and thermal cameras to actually see where the power is going and where it’s getting too hot. We trace the lines back to the source so we can find the exact weak spot.
We don’t just put a bigger breaker in (which is a great way to burn your house down). We figure out why it’s tripping and fix the root cause. We can run new dedicated circuits for your heavy appliances, like your AC or dryer, so the rest of the house doesn’t suffer.
Get an ElectricianThat Drip Isn’t Going to Fix Itself
A small leak under the sink can rot out your cabinets in a week. Finding a reliable plumber in Atlanta shouldn’t feel like a gamble. Here is a look at the plumbing nightmares we see in local homes, and how we stop them for good.
The Rusted Pipe Problem
If your house was built before 1980, you probably still have cast iron or galvanized steel pipes. These pipes rust from the inside out. By the time you see a leak or notice the water pressure is terrible, the pipe is usually almost completely closed off.
When we do plumbing repair in Atlanta, we don’t just patch a rusted pipe. We replace the bad section with modern PEX or copper piping so you aren’t dealing with another leak next month.
Tree Roots in the Sewer
We have huge, beautiful old oak trees all over Atlanta. But their roots are relentless. They find the tiniest crack in your main sewer line, slip inside, and grow into a massive hairball that blocks everything.
If your drains keep backing up, snaking the line only clears it for a few weeks. We use cameras to actually look inside the pipe. If it’s roots, we can clear them out and fix the pipe so they can’t get back in.
The Water Heater Time Bomb
Nobody thinks about their water heater until they step into the shower and get hit with ice-cold water. Or worse, until the bottom of the tank rusts out and floods the garage.
We don’t just try to sell you the most expensive system on the market. We’ll tell you exactly how much life your current heater has left, explain your options, and give you a flat price to swap it out cleanly. No hidden fees.
The Running Toilet
If you have to jiggle the handle to get the water to stop, you are literally flushing money down the drain. A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons of water a week and spike your water bill.
Most of the time, it’s just a worn-out rubber flapper. It’s a cheap part, but if it’s ignored, the constant water flow can wear out the fill valve and cause an overflow. We fix it fast so your water bill goes back to normal.
Water Pouring Through the Ceiling?
If a pipe bursts, every minute counts. Don’t wait for an email reply. Pick up the phone and call us right now. We hold same-day emergency slots for burst pipes and major leaks across Atlanta. We’ll tell you exactly where your main water shut-off valve is so you can stop the damage before we even arrive.
Sticking Doors & Soft Decks? That’s the Georgia Humidity.
Wood and Atlanta weather have never gotten along. One week it’s pouring rain, the next it’s bone dry and 95 degrees. If you need a carpenter in Atlanta who actually understands how wood behaves in this climate, you’re in the right place.
The Rotting Windowsill
A lot of folks try to slap a coat of paint over a rotting windowsill and call it a day. It’ll look okay for about three months. Then the paint bubbles, and the rot is worse than before. We don’t hide rotten wood with paint. If it’s soft, we cut it out and replace it with rot-resistant lumber.
The Trampoline Deck
If your deck feels a little too bouncy when you walk on it, or the stairs groan every time you step down, it’s a safety hazard. We rebuild deck stairs, replace soft boards, and reinforce the framing. We make sure it’s solid enough to hold a backyard BBQ without anyone falling through.
The Sticking Door
If your bedroom door sticks in July but swings fine in January, the wood frame has swelled. Instead of planing the door down and ruining the finish, we look at the framing. We re-square the opening and adjust the hinges so it closes smoothly all year round.
Making Weird Angles Work.
Old Atlanta homes are full of surprises. Nothing is perfectly straight, and the corners are never a true 90 degrees. That’s where custom carpentry comes in.
If you want built-in bookshelves, a new mantle, or custom cabinets that actually fit the strange layout of your 1920s bungalow, we build them from scratch. We don’t just buy something off the shelf and try to shove it into a space where it doesn’t belong.
We use the right screws, the right sealants, and we take our time to make sure everything is square and sturdy. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about making sure it’s safe to lean on, walk on, and use every day.

When the Atlanta humidity hits, your AC isn’t just a luxury—it’s what keeps the house from turning into a swamp. If you’re looking for honest HVAC repair in Atlanta, we don’t do the hard sell. We just figure out what’s broken and fix it.
The $20 Part That Kills Your AC
Nine times out of ten, when your AC is blowing warm air but the fan outside is running, it’s a blown capacitor. It’s a tiny, cheap part that acts like a battery for the compressor.
Some companies will use this as an excuse to sell you a whole new system. We just swap the capacitor. It takes 15 minutes, and you’re back to cold air.
The Attic Water Leak
Your AC pulls gallons of water out of the Atlanta air every day. That water drains out through a little PVC pipe. Algae loves to grow in that pipe and clog it up.
When it clogs, the water overflows into your attic or closet ceiling. If your ceiling has a water stain, check your AC drain line first. We clear the line and make sure it drains safely.
The Frozen Ice Block
If you see ice on the copper lines going into your AC unit, turn it off immediately. Ice means the system is running low on Freon or the airflow is blocked by a dirty filter.
Running the system with ice on it will burn up the compressor. We check for leaks, recharge the Freon, and tell you exactly how to fix the airflow so it doesn’t happen again.
We Check the Whole System
Most HVAC repairs in Atlanta fail because the tech only looks at the unit outside. But your system is a chain. If one link is weak, the whole thing breaks down.
We look at the thermostat, the blower motor, the evaporator coil, and the ductwork. If your ducts are leaking, you’re paying to cool the attic instead of your living room. We seal it up so your power bill stops hurting.

A Leaning Fence Is an Eyesore. Let’s Fix It.
After a few years of Georgia rain, wind, and that brutal summer sun, fences start to look tired. If you need honest fence repair in Atlanta, we don’t just prop it back up and hope for the best. We rebuild it to last.
Why Your Fence Is Failing
Georgia weather is brutal on wood. One week it’s pouring rain, the next it’s 95 degrees. That constant swelling and shrinking causes the wood to warp, crack, and eventually rot. The worst part is usually at the bottom.
The bottom of the fence post sits in wet dirt, and that’s where the rot starts. You can’t see it from the top, but if you push on the fence and the whole post snaps, it’s because it rotted out from the ground up.
On top of the rot, we get high winds during summer storms. A lot of fences are built with cheap, rusty nails that pull right out of the wood when the wind catches a panel. That’s why you see fence panels leaning or blown completely into the neighbor’s yard.
How We Build Them Right
When we do a fence repair in Atlanta, we don’t just nail a new board over the old one. We dig out the old, rotten post, pour a fresh concrete footing, and set the new post deep so it won’t shift when the ground gets soft.
We also use galvanized or stainless steel hardware instead of cheap nails. These won’t rust out in two years or pull out when the wind blows. We make sure every panel is screwed into a rail, and every gate is hung perfectly level so it swings open without dragging on the ground.
If your dog keeps escaping through a gap in the back, or your front fence is bringing down your curb appeal, we can fix the damaged sections without making you pay for a whole new fence.
Wood Fences
Classic and private. We build and repair all styles of wood fences (privacy, picket, shadowbox). We use rot-resistant lumber and make sure to treat the posts so they survive the Georgia clay.
Vinyl Fences
If you’re tired of painting and staining, vinyl is the way to go. It doesn’t rot, it doesn’t fade, and bugs don’t eat it. We install heavy-duty vinyl that actually stays straight and sturdy in the heat.
Chain-Link Fences
Practical and secure. Whether you need to keep the dogs in or secure a commercial lot, we install and repair chain-link fencing. We fix bent posts, replace damaged mesh, and get it looking clean again.
If the Paint Is Peeling, Nobody Prepped the Wall.
A good paint job is 80% prep and 20% paint. If you hire painters in Atlanta who just show up and start rolling, you’re going to end up with paint on your floors and peeling walls in a year. Here’s the difference between a cheap job and a lasting one.
The Cheap Paint Job
A cheap crew will show up, maybe throw a drop cloth down, and start rolling paint over whatever is there. They won’t fill the nail holes. They won’t caulk the gaps around the trim. They definitely won’t scrape the peeling paint off the outside of your house.
What happens next? The paint on the outside bubbles up in six months because it didn’t stick to the bare wood. The caulk lines crack. The cheap paint fades in the brutal Atlanta sun. You end up paying twice to have it done right.
How We Do It
We take the time to do it right. We move the furniture, cover it with plastic, and tape off the trim. We fill every nail hole and caulk every gap. If the outside is peeling, we scrape it down to bare wood and prime it so the new paint actually bonds.
We use high-quality paint that can handle the Georgia humidity. The lines are razor-sharp. We don’t paint over the outlet covers; we take them off. When we leave, it looks like a professional did it because a professional actually did.
Interior Painting
Living rooms, bedrooms, ceilings, and trim. We handle full-house repaints and single accent walls. If you have vaulted ceilings or a two-story foyer, we have the ladders and scaffolding to reach it safely without wrecking your floors.
Exterior Painting
Wood siding, brick, stucco, and trim. The Atlanta sun destroys cheap exterior paint. We pressure wash, scrape the loose stuff, prime the bare spots, and use a premium exterior paint that actually blocks the UV rays and keeps your house looking fresh.
Cabinet Refinishing
If your kitchen looks dated but the wood is still solid, you don’t need a $20,000 remodel. We can refinish your cabinets. We take the doors off, degrease them, sand them, prime them, and spray them for a factory-smooth finish. It changes the whole room.
Don’t Get Burned. Know the Red Flags.
We hear horror stories every week from homeowners who got scammed by the last guy. They paid a deposit, the work stopped, and the phone number got disconnected. Before you hire anyone, here is what you need to look out for.
Run Away If…
-
They demand a huge cash deposit. If a guy shows up in an unmarked truck and asks for half the money before he buys a single 2×4, kick him off your property.
-
They won’t put it in writing. “I’ll give you a good deal if we keep this off the books.” A verbal quote on a napkin means they can add whatever fees they want at the end.
-
They are “in the neighborhood.” If they just knocked on your door because they noticed your roof looked bad, they are storm chasers. They’ll take your money and vanish.
