About
A settled trade, working a county it knows
Trusty Monmouth Handyman works on houses across Monmouth County, from a base in West Long Branch. 20 services across 5 trades, quoted after the work has been seen.
01
Most repair lists are not one trade
A bathroom that needs regrouting usually also has a fan that stopped working and a door that no longer shuts. That is three trades, and booked separately it is three schedules, three minimum charges and three separate mornings at home.
Handling plumbing, electrical, carpentry, painting and general repair on one number means the list gets closed out in one visit, with nobody waiting on anybody else to finish first.
Send the whole list when you ask for the estimate. Not the worst item on it — the whole list.

The useful part is knowing where we stop
Three kinds of job are not ours, and you hear that on the first call rather than halfway through the second. Knowing the edge of what you do is most of doing it properly.
Service panel replacements
A panel change is licensed electrical contractor work. We will tell you what you are looking at and who it belongs to.
Gas lines
Anything that alters a gas supply is licensed work, without exception, and it is not a job to shop around on price for.
Structural work
If a wall is holding something up, the drawing comes before the tools, and that means an engineer signing it off.
If a job is not ours we will normally say whose it is. That costs us the work and saves you a bad version of it.
03
How we price it
There is no rate card on this site, and that is not evasion. A single published number would be wrong more often than it was right, and you would find that out after we had arrived.
Describe the job on the phone and in most cases you get a figure there and then. Where a job genuinely needs eyes on it first, we say so rather than guess. Estimates are free either way, and nothing is booked off the back of one.
Where a number does matter — flood risk, housing age, drainage, what a permit actually requires — you will find it on the relevant page with its source printed directly underneath, in small type, like this.
04
The patch
Worked from West Long Branch, covering Monmouth County. The shore towns and the inland ones ask for different things — salt air and flood plain on one side, post-war housing stock and sixty years of seasonal movement on the other — and both are on the same run.
