How it works

Four steps from broken to handled.

1

You call or text with the problem

A photo helps.

2

I show up and give you a straight answer

What is wrong, what it needs, what it will cost. No upsell.

3

I fix it on the spot

When it is a repair of a few hours or less. If it is bigger than that, I help you get the right licensed pro.

4

You get before/after photos

And a plain summary of what was done.

What I handle

I fix the stuff that breaks.

  • Plumbing: running toilets, dripping faucets, supply lines, garbage disposals
  • Appliances: dishwasher issues and other minor appliance problems
  • Light electrical: switches, outlets, fixtures
  • Drywall patching and touch-up, door and lock hardware
  • Dock hardware and exterior fixes
  • Storm follow-up, arrival and departure checks, letting a contractor in

For condos and vacation rentals too — not just full houses.

When it is bigger than a handyman repair

I will tell you straight and help you line up the right plumber, electrician, or HVAC tech. I would rather refer it than improvise it.

CoveReady does not approve guest refunds, authorize major repairs, replace your cleaner, manage your listing, or make property-management decisions for you. We diagnose, fix, document, report, and help you stay in charge.

Vacation rental support

For rental owners whose cleaner spots the problem first.

My wife runs a lake-area cleaning business, and her clients' rentals are where a lot of my repair work comes from. If your cleaner spots something, have them send me a photo — I will show up and fix it before the next guest arrives.

One local contact for the stuff that breaks between stays.

Common vacation-rental requests

  • A guest or cleaner reports something broken.
  • A toilet runs, a disposal jams, a dishwasher will not drain.
  • Arrival readiness or departure follow-up.
  • Dock, exterior, utility, or lock-up concern.
  • Let a contractor in and confirm the lock-up with photos.

Need something specific?

Describe the problem. CoveReady will review the request before accepting the work.

Jammed disposal

“The kitchen disposal hums but will not turn. Please take a look and let me know if it needs replacing.”

How does payment work?

The $149 service call ($298 for urgent) is authorized when you submit the request. If CoveReady accepts the request, payment is collected before service begins. Any additional labor, parts, or expanded work requires your approval and is billed separately.

What if it is bigger than you can fix?

I will tell you straight and help you line up the right licensed professional — plumber, electrician, HVAC, or otherwise. I diagnose and refer; I do not improvise major work.

How fast is urgent response?

Urgent requests are monitored 24/7 and immediately notify the on-call technician. Response time still depends on location, weather, safety, availability, and request scope.
