Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions South Jersey homeowners ask before booking a Fix-It Buddy service. If you don’t see your question here, reach out anytime — our team’s happy to help.

What types of jobs can a handyman complete in one hour?

In one hour, our handymen can usually take care of quick, straightforward projects like:

Hanging a TV on standard drywall

Installing 6 or more picture frames

Fixing minor leaks or loose faucets

Assembling small furniture (e.g., a coffee table or bookshelf)

Swapping out light fixtures or ceiling fans (when wiring is already in place)

It’s a great option for small repairs or finishing tasks you just don’t have time for.

What can be done in 3 to 5 hours?

For more involved projects, our team can handle multiple tasks or larger installations within a few hours:

Mounting multiple TVs or larger entertainment centers

Painting a small room or touching up several walls

Installing curtain rods, blinds, or window treatments across multiple rooms

Minor drywall patching or wall repair

Assembling several furniture pieces or setting up a home office

Light plumbing repairs like replacing faucets or toilets

What can be accomplished in a full day?

When you book a handyman for a full day, we can tackle big-picture projects and home upgrades, such as:

Painting multiple rooms or creating an accent wall

Completing a full home maintenance walk-through and repairs

Installing new fixtures, fans, or faucets throughout the home

Setting up an entire room’s worth of furniture

Complex or custom jobs like mounting a full home gym

What’s the most unique project Fix-It Buddy has completed?

We’ve handled everything from basement gym builds to fully custom holiday light installations.

If you have a unique or creative idea, we’re all in — our team loves a good challenge.

Can you install holiday lights or seasonal decorations?

Absolutely! We design and install holiday lighting and seasonal decorations to make your home look festive and professional — without you climbing a ladder.

Just let us know your style or theme, and we’ll handle design, setup, and takedown.

When do you come out in person for estimates?

For larger or more complex jobs (usually those expected to take more than a few hours), we’ll schedule an in-person estimate.

We charge one hour’s rate for the visit, and that cost is fully credited back toward your project when the work is completed.

Can you quote over the phone?

Yes! For most smaller or straightforward jobs, you can simply send us your honey-do list with a few photos.

We’ll provide a quote by phone or email so you can schedule your work quickly — no need to wait for an in-person visit

Need something fixed, installed, or built?

Our team is ready to help with everything from repairs and installations to maintenance and make-ready services.

How far in advance should I book a Fix-It Buddy service?

We can often schedule smaller jobs within the same week. Larger or custom projects may need 1–2 weeks of lead time, depending on your location and scope.

If you have a flexible schedule, we’ll always try to fit you in sooner.

Do I need to provide materials or hardware?

You’re welcome to provide your own materials, or we can supply everything for you.

For convenience, most homeowners choose to have us pick up the necessary hardware, paint, or fixtures — we simply add the cost to your final invoice with full transparency.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Fix-It Buddy is fully licensed and insured in New Jersey.

Every handyman on our team is vetted, background-checked, and trained to ensure your home and family are always protected.

Do you guarantee your work?

Absolutely. Every Fix-It Buddy job comes with our Satisfaction Guarantee — if something’s not right, we’ll make it right.

We take pride in the craftsmanship and reliability that keep our South Jersey homeowners coming back again and again.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and ACH payments.

You can pay securely online once the work is completed — no checks or cash required (unless preferred)

Can I bundle multiple tasks into one visit?

Yes! That’s one of the best ways to save time and money.

Just send us your honey-do list, and we’ll group those jobs into one visit — whether it’s hanging shelves, repairing drywall, and swapping out a light fixture all in the same day.
