-
Demolition
-
Drywall
-
Painting
-
Flooring
-
Electrical coordination

-
Trim
-
Disposal
Instead of hiring several separate companies, Fix It 419 may complete the carpentry and surrounding repairs as one coordinated project.
This may reduce:
-
Separate service calls
-
Repeated setup
-
Scheduling delays
-
Contractor overlap
-
Travel charges
-
The number of companies the homeowner must manage
Fix It 419 does not claim to be less expensive than every specialty carpenter, cabinet shop, or production deck company.
Savings are most likely when several related trades or repairs must be coordinated.
