Why Bay Bilt
Most people don't need a contractor for a patched wall or a mounted TV. They need someone reliable who shows up, does it right, and tells the truth about what's a handyman job and what isn't.
If a job needs a licensed contractor or a permit, I tell you up front instead of taking your money.
Send photos and a short list. I quote the job, and you decide.
You deal with me from the first call to the last cleanup.
How it works
Call, or use the quote form. Tell me what needs doing and where, and add photos if you can.
I look it over and quote the job before I start. If it's more than a handyman job, I'll say so.
Pick a time that works, I do the job, clean up, and you're done.
