Consultations vary based on how many items you want to cover and how much detail each one needs. This covers what's typically outside the scope of an assessment visit, but reach out before booking if you want to confirm a specific concern is something I can advise on.
Licensed electrical or plumbing assessment (requires licensed trade professional)
Structural engineering evaluation or formal written inspection report for real estate transactions

Consultation Questions
Here's what homeowners ask about my home repair consultation service.
How much does a consultation cost?
Consultations start at $125 for most residential properties. Larger or more complex properties may run $150-200. The fee is credited toward the project cost if you schedule work with me afterward.
What's included in the consultation?
I provide a thorough walkthrough, written assessment of findings, scope recommendations, priority ranking, and cost estimates for each item so you can decide what to address and when.
How long does a consultation take?
Typically 1.5-2 hours for a standard single-family home. Multi-unit properties, larger homes, or homes with known inspection report items take longer and are quoted accordingly.
Can you identify code violations?
Yes, I flag code compliance concerns and note anything that may be a safety issue or material defect, along with whether a licensed specialty trade is needed for the correction.
Do I have to hire you for the work?
No. You receive a written summary and estimates that you can use with any contractor. There is no obligation to hire me for any portion of the work.

Request ServiceThis section helps this page show up for home repair consultation searches while giving readers useful, grounded information on what to expect from a professional assessment.
A home repair consultation gives property owners a structured walk-through of issues that need attention, with honest assessments of what can be handled by a general handyman, what requires a licensed trade contractor, and what the realistic scope and cost of each item looks like. Common areas reviewed include interior and exterior condition, plumbing fixtures, electrical covers and devices, windows and doors for air sealing and operation, water damage indicators, deferred maintenance items, and items flagged from a recent home inspection report. The output is practical rather than exhaustive, focused on prioritizing what to address first.
In the Twin Cities east metro, home repair consultations are useful for new homeowners working through a purchase inspection punch list, landlords assessing a property between tenants, sellers preparing a home for market, and anyone who has been deferring maintenance and wants a realistic view of where things stand. A consultation from an experienced handyman who works across multiple trade types tends to give a more grounded estimate than calling out individual specialty contractors for each item. It also helps identify the sequence of repairs that makes sense before others, such as addressing water intrusion before repainting or replacing trim.
