1. The Shade Doctor
Based in Montville, NJ, The Shade Doctor works as a handyman service. A team of 4, the business has been operating for 2 years. Around Montville, homeowners often use handyman help for the in-between jobs: a door that no longer latches, a cracked tile near a threshold, a wobbly stair railing, or new hardware on old cabinets. The work tends to be quick, practical, and focused on making things function properly and look tidy again. Common requests for handyman work include caulking tubs and sinks, ceiling fan swaps, grab bar installation, furniture assembly and mounting televisions. Doors that will not close, dents in drywall, peeling bathroom caulk, and shelves that wobble under weight are typical triggers for a general repair call. Mention whether parts such as light fixtures, shelves, curtain rods, or cabinet hardware are already purchased or will need to be picked up before the visit. Handyman pricing usually depends on the number of tasks on the list, the time each one takes, and whether materials must be supplied or are already on hand. Besides Montville, homeowners in Lake Hiawatha, Pine Brook and Boonton can reach out for handyman work. Posted hours are Monday to Saturday. Accepted payment methods include Apple Pay, Cash, Check, Credit card, Venmo and Zelle. To get started, send The Shade Doctor a request on Fixerlane with the details of your project.
