I started "I'll Handle It" to address what I recognized as a need that homeowners have for competent, knowledgeable and courteous home improvement service professionals to help them with all manner of projects large and small. Founded in San Diego, "I'll Handle It" is a home grown business that prides itself in its responsiveness to its customers needs. At "I'll Handle It" "Professional Service You Can Rely on" is our mantra, and we can prove it.

"Dave was great! The best communication and transparency I've seen in a long time. Dave explained what he needed to do to install the dryer vent and got right to work...NO wasted time. He installed the vent and made sure it was working properly. The vent looks great! Dave is knowledgable, professional, and a nice person. He also stayed in touch, letting me know how soon he would arrive and when he was on his way. I really appreciated that. We will definitely call him the next time we need a handyman."

Best Handymen in town. From. Drywall repars,painting, baseboards, hanging doors, install windows, garbage disposal, dishwasher, faucets, ceiling fan, switches, outlets, appliances installations, facia board installations,laminate flooring,

"Replaced cabinet door- now won't shut. Carpet on wall is too loose, hooks too close together, which he didn't point out- spent a lot of time at the store instead of picking up materials on the the way, he splintered the boards because he didn't have the proper tool for rounding the corners for the window sills- didn't sand or paint them properly, ripped card table when placing the boards in the garage, broke gate, kept paint. His helper did a good job, putting the bookcase together, and fixing the wall. I texted him a couple weeks later when I found his contact info, but he denied being in those areas- but they came through the front door several times and put the boards in the garage, which I pointed out to him, but he did not respond again. I had to pay someone else to place the sills, but they're still not sanded and painted- and it will cost more too to replace the card table and gate then their accomplishments were worth. Very disappointing."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Wooden carports offer aesthetic appeal, durability, and customization options compared to metal alternatives.

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

Yes, many kinds of building permits exist for various projects in and outside your home. Each city sets the permit categories, but they typically cover new construction, alterations, and demolition. For example, you will need a different permit to finish a basement than you would tear down the patio.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

It’s almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build new construction unless you’re planning on building a new home yourself. A DIY house build will typically cost less than buying an existing house. However, new construction comes with higher property taxes, so long-term costs may be higher for new construction, even if you DIY.
