Handyman · Grand Rapids, MI

Lifting planks, cracked drywall, doors that stick.

We’re Andy Wiltjer and Scott Dykstra, working across Grand Rapids and the towns around it. The two guys you call are the two guys who show up — on every job, start to end. Home repairs are the specialty, inside and out — siding, decks and gutters outside; trim, doors, drywall, flooring, tile and paint within.

Where we can, we price it straight from the photo. Sometimes we’ll ask for another angle. Some jobs we come and look at, because you can’t price what you can’t see.

If we open something up and it’s worse than the photo showed, we stop and give you a new number before we keep going. You will never see an invoice you have not already agreed to.

Ask, even if it’s not listed

Those six are the work we’re set up for. There are 6 more services besides them, and a longer list of small jobs underneath those.

When you send the photo, stand back far enough to get the whole wall or the whole run of floor in frame, then send a close-up of the worst part. Two pictures tell us more than a paragraph does.

If you’re not sure whether something is our kind of job, ask anyway. We’d rather spend two minutes telling you it isn’t than leave you waiting on a callback that was never coming.

Send a photo either way.

01 Flooring planks separating or lifting at the seams, soft or spongy patches underfoot, squeaks that have got worse over time 02 Drywall & ceilings a doorknob-sized hole through the wall, nail pops and hairline cracks at the corners, brown water stains on a ceiling 03 Trim carpentry gaps opening at the corners of the baseboard, trim pulling away from the wall, casing damaged around a door or window 04 Doors a door that sticks or drags on the floor, a door that won't latch without a shove, uneven gaps down the side of the door 05 Decks & fences boards that feel soft or springy to walk on, a railing that moves when you lean on it, screws and nails backing out of the surface 06 Tile cracked or loose tiles, grout that's crumbling or stained beyond cleaning, moldy caulk in the corners of a shower

What we won’t do

HVAC, anything that needs a licensed electrician, and concrete. Those need specialists and we’re not one.

If you’re a landlord or an agent who needs the insurance certificate on file before anyone starts, ask and we’ll send it.

We’d rather tell you now than waste a trip.

Just outside that list? Ask before you assume no. And if the drive would make a small job not worth it for you, we’ll say that too.

Before you hire us

Who comes to my house?: Andy Wiltjer and Scott Dykstra. We do every job ourselves, with no subcontractors. If a job needs another trade, it isn’t one we take, and you’d hire that trade directly.
Are you insured?: Yes. Ask and we’ll send you the certificate of insurance.
What if the job is worse than the photo showed?: We stop and give you a new number before we keep going. Nothing goes on the bill that you haven’t agreed to.
How does a quote from a photo work?: Text us a photo of the problem. Where a photo is enough, we price it from that. Some jobs need a second photo, and some need us to come and look.
What won’t you take on?: HVAC, concrete, and anything that needs a licensed electrician, like new circuits and panel work, need specialists, so we say no. Roof work is repair only.
What are your hours?: Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
