Handyman in the Bronx

Yes — I work across the Bronx: Riverdale, Fordham, Pelham Bay, Throgs Neck, Concourse, and everywhere between. Minimum visit is $90, most jobs are quoted flat from your photos before I arrive. The usual requests here: door repairs, drywall patches, faucet swaps, TV mounting, and window A/C installs. Evenings and Sundays included.

What Bronx buildings mean for the work

Alongside its apartment blocks and co-ops, the Bronx has real pockets of one- and two-family houses, and it shows in my job list. You’ve got three broad situations here, and each one changes how I work.

Prewar co-ops and apartment buildings. The Grand Concourse corridor and Riverdale are full of prewar buildings — plaster walls, concrete-slab construction, old steel door frames. Hanging a TV or shelf here isn’t a drywall job; it’s masonry anchors and a hammer drill. That’s why a TV mount on brick or concrete runs from $160 instead of $120. Co-op buildings usually have their own rules for outside workers — sign-in, work hours, sometimes a note to management — so tell me your building’s process upfront and I’ll plan around it.

Walk-ups. Five- and six-story walk-ups without elevators are everywhere from Kingsbridge to Hunts Point. For you it means one thing: tell me your floor upfront. For me it means planning the trips — a PAX wardrobe in flat packs up four flights is a different morning than the same job on the ground floor. The price doesn’t change, but the honesty helps us both.

One- and two-family homes. Throgs Neck, Morris Park, Wakefield, City Island — lots of private houses, which means jobs apartments never generate: exterior doors that swell and stick (door planing from $110), caulk failing around older tubs, storm-damaged drywall, sagging gates. Homeowners here also tend to batch tasks, which works great with my hourly rate ($75–95/hr) once the list gets past two or three items.

One genuinely nice thing about Bronx jobs: parking. Compared to Midtown, finding a spot near a Bronx address is a vacation. That keeps my scheduling here flexible.

What I get called for most in the Bronx

• Furniture assembly — IKEA dresser from $90, bed frame from $110
• TV mounting — from $120 on drywall, from $160 on brick or concrete (common in prewar buildings)
• Drywall repair — patch plus paint from $140
• Minor plumbing — faucet swap from $130, running toilet from $110
• Window A/C — install from $90, removal from $70; a big seasonal item in walk-ups without central air
• Furniture anchoring from $90 — worth it if you’ve got kids and tall dressers

All prices are “from,” published on my pricing page, and materials are extra. No surprises at the door.

How booking works

Text me photos of the job. I reply with a flat price — the actual number, not “we’ll see when we get there.” You pick a slot: weekday, evening, or Sunday, when most other guys have their phones off. I show up, do the work, clean up after myself, done. You’re texting with me the whole time, not a dispatcher reading a script.

Same-day in the Bronx is possible when my route lines up, but I won’t promise it blind — if I can’t make it today, I’ll tell you straight and offer tonight or Sunday instead. Also covering Manhattan and Harlem just across the river.
