Handyman Services in Boerne, TX

Small punch-list tasks sit squarely in handyman territory: drywall patches, caulking, door re-hangs and adjustments, fixture and TV mounting, weatherstripping replacement, faucet swaps, and light carpentry. Beyond that line, most jurisdictions cap unlicensed handyman work by job type or dollar value, and major electrical, gas piping, structural work, plumbing supply/DWV changes, and HVAC all require a licensed contractor or trade. Permits for that category cannot legally be pulled by a flat-rate handyman, which is why those jobs get referred to the appropriate licensed professional.

Two models dominate: an hourly rate, usually carrying a 1-hour or 2-hour minimum, or a flat per-task price. The starting figure generally buys the trip out plus the first block of labor, with materials invoiced separately either at cost or with a markup. Ask for the pricing model in writing before the visit, because the math shifts dramatically with scope: a $145 minimum applied to one tiny task costs far more per hour than that same minimum absorbing a half-day of stacked work.

It is, and the arithmetic is simple. The trip charge and the labor minimum are fixed costs paid once per visit, so every added task dilutes them; three 20-minute jobs handled in a single appointment run far cheaper than three separate trips. Come prepared with the complete list and the materials already on hand or agreed in advance, so none of your paid time disappears into supply runs.

A few tests settle it. Bring in a pro when the repair demands a tool you would buy once, like an oscillating multi-tool or a stud finder for a heavy mount; when a botched attempt is costly or unsafe, such as a TV anchored into drywall instead of studs or a leak behind a wall; or when tasks stack into a half-day. Keep the genuinely simple items, like tightening hardware or swapping a cabinet pull, for yourself. Asking which category your job falls into before booking is entirely fair.

On the cosmetic exterior only: sealing trim, patching the surrounding drywall, painting a mantel, or touching up minor surface masonry. The moment a task involves the flue, liner, firebox, damper, or any gas appliance, it belongs to a CSIA-certified chimney technician or a licensed gas tech, not a generalist. NFPA 211 calls for a chimney inspection at least annually, and that inspection sits outside handyman scope by definition.

We can match the stone's bed, color range, and cut, and we match the mortar's strength, sand, and joint tooling. What nobody can rush is patina — weathered limestone earns its color over decades of sun and rain. A proper patch starts close and blends within a few seasons. We'll show you photos of our older repairs so you can see how the blend actually ages.

Yes, in a Hill Country way. Boerne only gets a few hard freezes a year, but they usually land on masonry that's been baked and micro-cracked all summer, and they tend to arrive wet. Water sitting in an open joint that freezes overnight does more damage here than a month of steady northern cold. Sound joints and a crowned, capped top handle it. That's the whole game.

Check what's under the stone first. Most new Boerne builds are thin stone veneer over a framed chase with a factory flue, so there's no structural masonry to point. What those need is a fitted chase cover, a solid cap, and regular flashing checks, because water ruins them faster than anything else. If you've got true full-bed stone, that's a different story, and we treat it like one.
