Handyman installs in La Crescenta
In La Crescenta cottages, mid-century ranch homes and condos, Square Corner Handymen puts up TVs, mirrors, shelves and curtain rods at one flat price per install. Call (310) 857-2520 and we confirm your price and your same-week day by text.
Free to quote. Same-week days, Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
Plaster is the first thing a handyman in La Crescenta thinks about, because older cottages and mid-century ranch homes can both have it under the paint.
It has its own column on the install board, one step up from drywall, so we like to know the age of the house before we talk about price. That goes for Sparr Heights and for La Cañada Flintridge next door.
What comes with every install
- One flat price each. The board price is the price for that install.
- Free to quote. Install days are same-week, Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
- A text within two hours. We confirm your price and your day by text, between 7am and 7pm.
- Level before we pack up. You see the bubble centered before we leave.
- A one-year workmanship warranty. If it comes loose, we come back at no charge.
Foothill cottages, ranch homes and condos
- An older cottage. Plaster over lath is the likely wall in a room that has not been remodeled.
- A mid-century ranch home. The original rooms may have a thin plaster coat, and a remodeled room is usually drywall.
- A condo or apartment near Foothill Boulevard. Most are drywall, and a newer building may have metal studs.
- The fireplace. This is usually the one brick wall in the house.
The price for each of these is in its own column on the install board.
What we hang in a La Crescenta family home
- The family room TV. Tell us whether it is going over the fireplace or on a plain wall, because those are different columns for TV mounting.
- Frames up the hallway. Family pictures and a big mirror go on our picture and mirror hanging price.
- Bookcases and dressers. Our furniture assembly price covers the flat-pack, and a tall piece in a child's room can be strapped to the wall so it cannot tip.
- Shelves and curtain rods. We put up floating shelves in a child's room or a family room, and curtain rods across the wide windows of a ranch home.
Answers for houses near Ocean View and Rosemont
Does a steep driveway change the price?
No. The install and the wall set the price, wherever the house sits on the slope. Just tell us about the driveway and any stairs, so we can plan how to carry in a big screen.
Can you put shelves up in my detached garage?
Yes. Tell us what the garage walls are made of if you know, and that sets the column in the same way it does inside the house.
How do I know if my wall is plaster?
It feels harder than drywall when you knock, and older houses are more likely to have it. If you are still not sure, say so, and we settle it with a quick check at the door before anything is drilled.
From anywhere near the 210 Freeway, call (310) 857-2520, say what is going up and on which wall, and we will text your flat price and your day.
