Small jobs, done properly.
A hole in the gyprock, a door that won’t close, a fence panel that came down in the last storm. None of them are big jobs, but together they add up. We take care of the wear and tear common in Adelaide Hills homes from weather, terrain and age.
Unlike many handyman services, In A Pinch is run by a CBS Licensed Contractor (BLD 354391). Blake brings a background in renovation project management and residential site supervision, so even small repairs are done with the same care as a bigger build.
Got a list? Bundling several jobs into one visit is usually the most efficient and cost-effective way to get it all done.
