Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, or property manager, chances are you've faced a to-do list that just keeps growing. That’s where a professional handyman comes in. At River Valley Handyman, we take care of the small but important jobs that keep your home running smoothly. But what exactly do handymen do?

Here’s a quick look at the typical services we offer — and how we can help simplify your life.

🔧 Minor Repairs

Sometimes, you don’t need a full remodel — just a quick fix!
We handle minor repairs for:

  • Appliances: Small appliance issues like a broken microwave handle or loose washing machine hose.
  • Furniture: Wobbly chairs, broken drawers, or cabinet door misalignments.
  • Plumbing: Leaky faucets, running toilets, or unclogging slow drains.
  • Electrical: Swapping out light fixtures, repairing switches, or installing ceiling fans.
  • Drywall & Paint: Small holes or cracks in the wall? We patch, sand, and paint to restore a clean finish.

🛠️ Home Maintenance

Preventative care keeps your home looking great and running smoothly. We offer:

  • Interior/Exterior Painting: Touch-ups or full-room repaints.
  • Caulking & Sealing: Around windows, tubs, and sinks to prevent leaks and drafts.
  • Gutter Cleaning: Keep those gutters clear before Idaho’s rainy days hit!
  • Seasonal Tasks: From prepping for winter to spring cleaning help.

🧱 Installation Services

If you’ve got something new to install, we’ve got the tools to make it happen.

  • Mounting: TVs, shelves, mirrors, curtain rods, or artwork.
  • Fixture Installation: Faucets, light fixtures, door hardware, and cabinet handles.
  • Furniture Assembly: Flat-pack furniture can be a headache — we’ll take care of it for you.

🪚 Custom Projects

Want something made just for you? We love creative jobs.

  • Custom Shelving: Built-ins, garage organizers, or display units.
  • Small Furniture Builds: Benches, planter boxes, coffee tables, and more.
  • Creative Fixes: Have a unique problem or space? We’ll help find a solution that works.
