General Handyman
Thank you Sergio for coming on such short notice and making yourself available! Sergio was able to fix a door hanging incorrectly, plumbing, bath spout, electrical and wall-mounted a TV in minutes! Very knowledgeable and professional. Thanks again!

Drywall & Painting
Sergio went beyond the call to fix a hole in the wall. He found the cause, fixed the hole, but also replaced the gutter, sealed all the cracks in the area and repainted everything to match. He also did some highly skilled drywall work (the ceiling has curved corners). I'm impressed and would definitely use him again.

Plumbing & Appliances
Sergio was really good and honest. He knew exactly what he was doing when replacing my garbage disposal and fixing one of my kitchen cabinets. I would recommend him to other people who need a good handyman.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal: FAQ

How much to remove popcorn ceiling in LA?

Typically from $350 per room, depending on size and whether we scrape or skim-coat, plus repaint. Flat quote upfront.

Could my ceiling contain asbestos?

Homes built before ~1980 may have asbestos in the texture. We recommend a quick test first and handle it safely.

Do you repaint after?

Yes, we include smoothing and a fresh coat of ceiling paint, so the ceiling comes out finished.

Is it messy?

We fully mask floors and walls; it's a contained, dust-managed process with full cleanup.
