Handy Human Services
Aug 22, 2026
Adventures of a Handy Human… today is cleaning Friday. 2 houses and then my own, as well as taking a client shopping. Reach out for cleaning estimates — I do deep cleaning and regular cleaning services.
Six things LJ gets called for.
Scroll — each one stacks on the last. If what you need isn't listed, ask anyway; it usually is.
Repairs & maintenance
Drywall patched, cabinets rehung, tile made whole, decks repaired and stained, gates and fences re-hung, screens and window coverings fitted.
- Painting
- Drywall
- Cabinets
- Tile
- Deck & stain
- Gates & fences
Yard work & cleanups
Mowing, edging and pruning on a schedule, or a one-shot cleanup that gets a neglected yard back to something you’d walk barefoot on. Hauling included.
- Mowing
- Pruning
- Cleanups
- Hauling
- Gutters
Cleaning
Choose how deep, then choose how often. One-off or on a standing schedule — windows and solar panels included, because nobody else wants to do those either.
- Light
- Moderate
- Deep
- Weekly
- Bi-monthly
- Monthly
Irrigation & sprinklers
Broken heads, dead zones, valves that won’t shut, timers nobody understands. Repairs, replacements and full installs — plus fountains and water features.
- Repairs
- New installs
- Valves & timers
- Drip lines
- Fountains
Plumbing
The everyday plumbing that does not need a plumber’s call-out fee. Removed and replaced properly, and the caulking put back so it stays dry.
- Sink R/R
- Faucet R/R
- Toilet R/R
- Shower & tub caulking
- Garbage disposal R/R
Odd jobs
The list that never gets done. Minor electrical, things that need assembling or hanging, and a hand with the jobs that simply need another person.
- Outlets, switches & fixtures
- House & pet sitting
- Window coverings
- Screen repairs
- Cabinet repairs
- Furniture assembly
- Moving help
Local to Sacramento County.
Straight-line distances from downtown, so treat them as a guide. Out-of-county jobs are welcome — those carry a travel fee.
Hover a dot, or search below, to see the rate.
Not on the list — but that does not mean no. Ask for a rate and LJ will give you a straight answer.
- South of Stockton
- North of Auburn
- East of Placerville
- West of Yolo County

Posted the day the work finishes. A photo, two sentences, and roughly what it cost — which is exactly what someone searching for a handyman wants to see. The archive shots below are from June 2025 until the first new one lands.

Mitred corner, clean line

What I’ve been up to.
Job diaries and plain answers to the things people ask before they call.
Adventures of a Handy Human: cleaning Friday
Two houses, my own place, and taking a client shopping. A fairly typical Friday.
Solar panels, gutters and windows: the jobs nobody wants to do
Three jobs that get put off for years, and what putting them off actually costs.
The small electrical and plumbing I can do — and what I will tell you to call someone else for
Being clear about where the line is, because it saves everybody a wasted visit.
Big job or
small task.
Send a photo and a sentence. LJ sends a real number back the same day, usually sooner.
