About Capable Handyman
Capable Handyman is a well-respected handyman service operating throughout Oakland, CA since 2005. The crew specializes in the long tail of small home repair work that is too small for a single-trade specialist but too important to keep ignoring — drywall patches, tile and grout repair, faucet and toilet swaps, ceiling fan and light fixture installs, deck and fence repair, gutter cleaning, window and door adjustments, weatherstripping, painting touch-ups, TV mounting, and assembly of just about anything that comes flat-packed. Two-hour minimums and up-front per-job estimates keep pricing transparent.
