Handyman Service Across Madison, WI

Madison stretches across a narrow isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona and spreads out from there in every direction, a city of close to 280,000 people built around the Capitol dome and the University of Wisconsin campus. Its houses read like a timeline. Near the Capitol and in Mansion Hill are sandstone and brick homes from the 1800s, many long since converted into apartments. The streetcar neighborhoods that followed, Williamson-Marquette, Tenney-Lapham, Schenk-Atwood, Vilas, Greenbush and Dudgeon-Monroe, are packed with Craftsman bungalows, foursquares and two-flats from the early 1900s, most with plaster walls, oak or fir trim and basements of fieldstone or block. After the war came the ranches, split-levels and Cape Cods of Midvale Heights, University Hill Farms, Westmorland, Eken Park and the south side, and over the last few decades the city added new subdivisions on the far west and east edges and a long run of condo and apartment buildings along East Washington Avenue. One morning we might re-hang a hundred-year-old door on Spaight Street, and that afternoon we might mount a TV in a new apartment off the Capitol Square.

Daily life in Madison runs along a handful of lines on the map: East Washington Avenue and University Avenue feeding the isthmus, John Nolen Drive skirting Lake Monona past Monona Terrace, the Beltline carrying traffic around the south and west sides, and the bike paths that follow old rail corridors through the middle of town. The lakes set the seasons, from summer evenings at the Memorial Union Terrace to ice fishing shacks out on Mendota in January. Parking is tight near campus and on the near east side, so we plan stops carefully.

Jobs we handle a lot in Madison

A typical week in Madison covers a lot of ground: plaster cracks and loose trim in older isthmus homes, ice-dam stains on upstairs ceilings, doors that bind every spring as the frost leaves the ground, gutters packed with maple seeds and oak leaves, fence posts that heaved over the winter, fans and light fixtures swapped in older rooms, faucets worn down by the city's hard water, and make-ready lists for landlords racing the August turnover.

Areas We Roll Through

We're based on the isthmus and cover Madison plus the communities around it, roughly a 20-mile reach. That takes in Middleton and the west side, Verona and Fitchburg to the southwest and south, Monona on the lake, and Sun Prairie out to the northeast.
