The Story Behind Louisville Handyman Pros

Louisville grew up along the Falls of the Ohio, and its houses tell that story in layers. Close to downtown you find brick rowhouses and shotgun homes from the 1800s, then the Victorian mansions of Old Louisville, the streetcar-era bungalows and foursquares of the Highlands and Crescent Hill, and finally the postwar Cape Cods, brick ranches and split-levels that filled in St. Matthews, Okolona, Shively and the east end. Each era has its own weak spots — horsehair plaster that cracks, limestone foundations that weep, builder-grade fixtures that wear out — and the climate works on all of them with humid summers, freeze-thaw winters and storms that bring down the big old trees this city is known for.

That mix makes for a steady stream of small jobs that are hard to get done. The large remodelers aren't interested in a single sagging gate or a ceiling fan that wobbles, and the little tasks are exactly the ones that sit on the fridge list for a year: the bathroom fan that needs a new cover, the closet door off its track, the crack that came back over the stairwell. Finding one reliable person who shows up when promised, quotes honestly and works through the whole list is harder than it should be in a metro this size.

That's the work we do. We're Louisville based and general liability insured, and we take on the repairs, installs and upkeep that keep a house comfortable and sound. We tell you up front what a job involves and what it will cost, we protect floors and clean up before we leave, and when a job involves wiring or plumbing connections, our licensed electricians and plumbers take care of them, so the whole list stays with one crew from the first call to the final walkthrough. The goal is simple: you call once, the list gets shorter, and you'd call us again.
