The small jobs everyone else is too busy for.
Handy Hollow does the jobs that are too small for a contractor and too much for a Saturday: mounting TVs, hanging doors, patching drywall, fixing the toilet that runs, replacing rotten trim, assembling furniture, installing grab bars. Two experienced carpenters, hourly rate, no minimum job size. We'll also tell you honestly when a job needs a licensed plumber or electrician instead.

One hour. If your job takes twenty minutes, tell us what else needs doing while we're there — most people find three more things once we're in the house.
Simple swaps like a faucet, garbage disposal, light fixture or outlet, yes. Anything involving the panel, gas, or opening walls goes to a licensed specialist. We'll tell you which is which.
Constantly. We're EPA Lead-Safe certified, which matters for anything pre-1978 — and a lot of Pulaski and downtown Blacksburg is.

Drop cloths, shoe covers, cleaned up everything. You couldn't tell anyone had been in the house except the thing was fixed.

Third season with them. Same two guys, they know my yard and the gate latch that sticks.

Called in the morning, someone was here that afternoon. In this valley that's not normal and I appreciated it.

Showed up in the window they gave me, did the work, sent photos. I don't need more than that.

Both dogs are nervous with strangers and the tech just went slow and let them come to him. Small thing that mattered a lot.

Texted before arriving, explained what they found, sent the invoice the same day. No chasing anyone.

Had the part on the truck. I've had other companies order a part and disappear for two weeks, so this was a relief.
