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

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

In many cases, yes, you’ll need building permits for a carport. The exact laws and regulations depend on where you live, but generally speaking, you’ll need a building permit for any carport that will be permanently affixed to the ground. Premade carports sometimes don’t require planning permission or permits, but standalone and attached carports usually do. We recommend you contact your local building department to find out before beginning any carport project.

Metal carports are commonly made from steel or aluminum, offering durability and low maintenance.

It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair. 

Pallet wood can withstand all kinds of outdoor weather conditions, which is part of why pallet fences are so appealing to DIY-ers. You can weatherproof the wood further before you paint or stain it, as well. Pallet fences are low-cost, easy to install, and can withstand sun and rain exposure without rotting.
