What Geneva homeowners call us for

One licensed crew for the jobs that are too small for a big contractor and too important to trust to a guess. These are the requests we get most from Geneva:

Electrical Handyman in Geneva

Light fixtures, ceiling fans, switches, dimmers, GFCI outlets, and smart doorbells — the everyday electrical work that doesn't need a full electrician's minimum. When a job does need a licensed electrician, we tell you straight.

Electrical services →

Drywall Repair & Installation

Patches that disappear, cracks that stay fixed, and full sheets hung and finished — matched to the texture of the wall around them, which matters in Geneva's older plaster-and-lath homes.

Drywall repair →

Home Repair Services

The honey-do list, cleared in one visit: sticking doors, caulk and grout, leaky faucets, loose railings, weatherstripping. Bring us the whole list — that's the point.

All services →

Carpentry & Trim for Character Homes

Trim, casing, built-ins, and repairs that match the original profile instead of fighting it. The Historic District deserves better than off-the-shelf shortcuts.

Carpentry →

Window & Door Installation

We're a Pella Certified Contractor — windows and doors installed to factory spec, which protects your warranty and kills the drafts old Geneva windows are famous for.

Windows & doors →

Bathroom & Kitchen Updates

Vanity swaps, tile repair, backsplashes, fixture upgrades — up to full bathroom remodels, permitted and done to code by a licensed general contractor.

Geneva FAQs

Common questions from Geneva

How fast can you get to a job in Geneva?

We run the Tri-Cities corridor every week, so Geneva projects usually schedule within days of an approved quote — and every quote is written, within 24–48 hours of your request.

Do I need an electrician or a handyman?

For fixtures, fans, switches, and outlet swaps, a handyman with the right experience handles it for far less than an electrician's service minimum. Panel work, new circuits, and service upgrades need a licensed electrician — and we'll tell you when that's the case instead of taking the job.

Do you work on Geneva's older and historic homes?

All the time — it's some of our favorite work. Older homes need trim matched to original profiles, plaster-friendly repairs, and doors coaxed back into square rather than replaced by default. As a licensed general contractor we also handle the permit side when a project needs it.

Is my job too small?

No. Single-item visits are welcome, though most Geneva clients save by batching a list — one trip charge, several things fixed.

We also serve the rest of the Tri-Cities and nearby towns: St. Charles, Batavia, Sycamore, and Naperville.
