Handyman Services In California: 7 Fixes You Shouldn’t Skip

Handyman Services California: 7 Fixes You Shouldn’t Skip 

All homes take a beating from time, weather and general damage. From shifting foundations to salty coastal air, small issues will eventually pile up — and ignoring them leads to far bigger bills later. If you want to protect your home (and wallet), timing is everything. We’ll be going over 7 handyman services in California that you should not skip.

 

In our new 2025 guide, we break down:

 

  1. The top 7 fixes homeowners are skipping (but shouldn’t)
  2. Why now is the best time to book handyman services in California
  3. How to avoid major repair bills with small, smart moves

 

Let’s get to it:

1. Caulking Windows & Doors

 

Old caulking around windows and doors lets in moisture and air — driving up energy bills and inviting mold.

 

  1. What it affects: AC/heating efficiency, wood rot, insulation
  2. Cost to fix: $150–$300 for full exterior sealing
  3. DIY risk: Cheap caulk often peels fast; pros use industrial-grade sealant

 

💡 Pro Tip: Re-caulk every 2–4 years depending on exposure to sun and rain.

2. Gutter Cleaning

 

Skipping this one leads to roof leaks, siding damage, and foundation cracks. Surprise downpours can overwhelm clogged gutters fast.

 

  1. Cost to clean: $125–$275 per visit (or $1–$2.50/ft)
  2. When to do it: Early spring and early fall
  3. Bonus: Ask your handyman to inspect downspouts too

 

🛑 Clogged gutters are the #1 cause of water damage claims in California coastal areas.

3. Drywall Repairs

 

Whether it’s from earthquakes, mounting mishaps, or aging walls, drywall cracks and holes get worse with time — not better.

 

  1. Cost: $125–$900 depending on size/texture/ceiling height
  2. What to watch for: Hairline cracks, popped nails, water stains
  3. Why wait? Mold often starts behind damaged drywall

4. TV Mounting & Wall Fixtures

 

Still leaning that flat-screen against the wall? Or trying to hang shelves on drywall without a stud finder? Don’t.

 

  1. TV Mounting Cost: $125–$250 depending on size/wall type
  2. Risk: Cracked drywall, falling TV, safety hazard
  3. What’s included: Brackets, stud anchoring, cable management (with a good handyman)

 

⚠️ Incorrect installs = broken TVs, and patchwork costs more than just doing it right.

5. Furniture Assembly

 

IKEA, Wayfair, or Amazon furniture always looks great — until you try putting it together for 4 hours. Why risk missing bolts, leaning bookcases, or frustration?

 

  1. Common Jobs: Bed frames, desks, dressers, cabinets
  2. Assembly cost: $85–$200 depending on item size
  3. Why hire: Insured professionals = zero risk or injury

6. Door Realignment

If your door drags, sticks, or won’t shut properly, it’s not just annoying — it will be costing you money.

 

  1. Fixes: Rehanging, shaving, hinge tightening, latch repairs
  2. Cost: $75–$150 per door
  3. Why it matters: Air leaks, pests, security risk

 

🔑 Pro Tip: Fixing 2–3 doors in one visit is far cheaper than calling multiple services.

7. Shower Resealing

 

Over time, grout and caulk wear out, letting water leak behind tiles. This is one of the top causes of mold damage in California bathrooms.

 

  1. Cost: $125–$300 for full tub/shower reseal
  2. When to redo: Every 2–3 years
  3. Look for: Black spots, cracked sealant, water beneath tiles

 

🚿 Pro Tip: Don’t wait until tiles pop or the smell of mildew takes over.
