Fishtown Handyman
Fishtown Handyman provides handyman and home renovation services in Fishtown, Philadelphia, proudly serving the 19122, 19123, 19125, and 19134 zip codes. Owner and founder Scott Hicks is a long-time Philadelphia resident who pairs his experience in the trades with nearly seven years as a real estate agent, so he knows the home and its workings from both sides. The work runs from the little stuff, a hole in the drywall, a toilet that will not stop running, or a broken set of shelves, through to custom built-in shelving, small and medium renovations such as finishing a basement or adding a half bathroom, and pre or post home sale repairs. The signature offering is the Day Rate Punch List: rather than pricing things out individually, a long list of household items gets attacked for a flat fee, all in one day. Estimates are free and are scheduled through the contact form on the company website.

FAQs
What is a Punch List Day?
A punch list is the set of tasks around your home that need to be completed, including repairs, installations, or maintenance chores you have been meaning to get done but have not had time to prioritize. On a Punch List Day, Fishtown Handyman works through that list in one day instead of pricing each task out individually.
How much does a Punch List Day cost?
The rate is $1,000 for one person for eight hours. The Fishtown Handyman site shows a sample ten-item list that would total $3,306 if each task were estimated and performed individually, using median aggregate publicly available pricing information.
