Introduction: We are Bethany and Jason, a professional handyman service based in the greater Indianapolis area and serving Central Indiana. we specialize in * Project Management / Client Representation Sourcing contractors, inspecting & facilitating quality control, objective private bidding & estimating * Rough / Finish Carpentry fabrication & repair * Appliance Removal & Install (refrigerator, freezer, ice maker, plumbed-in coffee bars, trash compactors, dishwashers, range hoods/microwaves & associated ducting, house filtration systems, instant hot & beverage dispensers, drawers (microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, warming in-cabinet drawers), in-cabinet wine chillers (humidors & cosmetics coolers as well), electric & gas ranges & ovens, dumb waiters and ADA mobility / stairlifts, laundry transportation systems, central vacuums * Media / Entertainment System mounting & wiring * Washers & Dryers Cleaning and repair, removal and install * Whole House Ventilators in-home smoke free / cigar lounge ventilators, dryer vent cleaning (no other ducts, just three & four inch) * Millwork replacement door/window removal & install, lead work & repair, customization, and casing * Drywall installation & repair * General Maintenance * Plumbing appliances & fixtures (toilet, faucet, garbage disposal, wet bar / sinks & vanities, porcelain bidet, shower valve, pot filler: remove/install/repair) ...as a working shortlist. We commonly facilitate full bathroom remodels, this begins at the level of a facelift with an appliance (bath/sink/toilet) replacement & extends to changing the layout, moving walls, adding/deleting windows, multiple output bath fixtures such as: rainwater systems, omnidirectional body sprayers, also steam systems & saunas. Bathroom remodels typically get scheduled 2 to 5 months out, as we are at the mercy of shipping times for custom shower pans & windows. Throughout our lives we seem to always be following behind someone else's careless mistakes & lack of care for quality & obviously no pride in what they do; lacking integrity because they think no one will find out. We have seen mind-boggling circumstances where a plumber might cut one or even a majority of a home’s critical structures in order to make their pipe meet slope requirements & either say nothing to the homeowner or leave them to fix the problem which would first involve the removal of the plumbing they just paid to have installed. This might be the shameless theft of global merchandiser H&K's slogan, but it is fitting: “in a world of compromise, some don't.” Our clients’ needs always come first and we take pleasure in making sure each job is completed to the highest standard. Clients not only receive a detailed explanation, walk through, & introduction to their new system or appliance, but a portfolio of the beginning state, end state, work performed, applicable warranties for service, fittings, & appliances will all be explained with the necessary implied maintenance schedule, contact numbers, & next steps in the event of an emergency. We can take care of routine and seasonal maintenance items at the same time: while winterizing your exterior plumbing / kitchens, knocking out a yearly dryer/ dryer vent cleaning, we can also clean the refrigeration condensers, test smoke / CO2 detectors, cleaning gutters, repair weather stripping, & so on... We typically charge by the project/outcome but often there are flat fees for certain types of appliances & tasks, service calls, that are rather straightforward. *** e.g. "customer complaint: 'electric dryer not heating,'" generates a $300 service call for an internal cleaning and element replacement. * There is a $70 parts allowance meaning that if it costs $150 you will have a remaining balance of $80 (which we will know shortly after you give us your model number), this does include necessary appliance-grade wiring (not what you find that you're local auto store), soldering, and fittings otherwise that may be required to restore function, apart from circuit failure. * In the event there is no signal from the control board to the element (heating element isn't the problem,) you will be notified and the $70 will be refunded while the element returns to stock. * The unit will be cleaned, reassembled, reinstalled, re-leveled and service warranteed. * You receive a folder that contains: ** concise information about the work performed ** applicable warranties for installed parts ** the respective dates of warranty expiry ** certification that they were installed in accordance with manufacturer specifications ** a certificate of the air flow meter for the appliance and ducting before and after the service ** digital temperature reading before and after service at exhaust ** certificate of smoke/CO² detector function (if you do not have a smoke detector in your laundry room a cost-effective model will be installed on your behalf at our expense unless you elect to pay for one with higher functionality/connectivity) ** and documentation of any other observations or concerns/modifications that came up during the course of the call. * We wrap up with a walk-through of everything that occurred and an explanation of everything in the packet while conducting a full test and demonstration of the appliance and ensuring the customer is aware of all its functions as well as their their end user maintenance expectations (cleaning the lint trap after each use, vacuuming the lint trap once per month, yearly duct inspection/cleaning). *** Otherwise we take issue with projects overflowing budget or time, it is the number one complaint we hear about other service providers & you shouldn't pay for their mistakes. Since we charge for project estimates (projects over 5K, anything under is typically flat rate and can be quoted over the phone), that will establish your expectation of the total cost with upfront pricing, if you take our estimate to another contractor, our feelings won't be hurt. We are charitable but coordinate our charity on other platforms and through other networks. We are hardworking, honest, and reliable with over 10 years of professional experience. We always strive to leave our customers with a better understanding of their project and their home, representing their interests to other contractors when project managing and ensuring uncompromised outcomes. We provide an excellent service for a fair and honest price. Whether it's a small job or a larger project, we are always up for the challenge. If you are looking for a dedicated handyman in the greater Indianapolis / central Indiana area, then please do not hesitate to get in touch. We prefer to solve complex problems and create custom solutions but also have mastery in overcoming run of the mill problems and smaller tasks. We work primarily in central Indiana but have traveled to Northern and Southern Indiana and even to the margins of Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky for larger projects. If you are looking for someone to help with any of the services mentioned above, then contact us and let us know what you need; we'll be happy to provide you with an accurate estimate. Don't hesitate to book if you're interested in our services. We are not the cheapest provider in the field, we aren't the most expensive, but we charge for outcomes so if the project goes over budget it is on us. We prefer to schedule small projects two weeks out and larger projects closer to two months out to establish realistic expectations, but we also keep time available throughout the week for emergencies, service calls, and estimates. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Jason was very responsive and able to get me on his calendar quickly. He installed a doggy door for me and went beyond the manufacturer instructions in making it more stable and weather resistant. He also didn’t mind me pestering him with questions! His rate was also very reasonable. I’d hire him again.

Jason was great to work with, he showed up early, and stayed until the job was done. He is thorough and I felt comfortable relying on him to get the job done correctly. I already have plans in the works to hire him for future projects. I definitely recommend making him your go-to guy.
