Minor Home Repairs & Small Projects

Brick townhouse with three windows and a front door, decorated with potted plants on the second-floor window sills and stairs leading to the entrance, located on S. Broad Street in a city neighborhood.

You know the list. The door that's been sticking since February. The towel bar that pulls out of the wall every few months. The outlet cover that's been sitting on the counter since you told yourself you'd "get to it this weekend."

These aren't jobs that need a contractor. They need someone easy to book, who shows up, does the work right, and charges fairly. That's John of All Trades.

Home Refreshes & Remodels

You finally decided on the kitchen backsplash. Or maybe it's a full bathroom gut, a finished basement, a new kitchen from scratch. The project is clear in your head — it just needs someone to do it.

So you call a contractor. Maybe they don’t call back because the job is too small. Or maybe they do, but the quote is so high you can’t move forward.
