Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does a handyman charge per hour in Whitestown?

    Green Brothers LLC charges $125 for the first hour, $75 for the second hour, and $50 for each additional hour for general task lists. Larger repair projects are typically quoted individually based on materials and scope. This tiered pricing structure helps homeowners complete multiple small tasks affordably.
  • What's the most common handyman service homeowners request?

    Hanging items like TVs, shelves, mirrors, and décor is the most requested service. At Green Brothers LLC, we also see high demand for exterior repairs such as rotted fascia and trim replacement, especially in older North Indianapolis homes. These services protect both function and curb appeal.
  • How do you know if fascia boards need replacing?

    Look for soft, spongy wood, visible rot, peeling paint that won't stay on, or boards pulling away from the roofline. Indiana's seasonal moisture accelerates wood rot on fascia. At Green Brothers LLC, we remove damaged sections and install durable replacement boards to prevent water intrusion and structural damage.
  • What brand of faucets do professionals recommend?

    Delta faucets are widely recommended due to their excellent material warranties and long-term reliability. At Green Brothers LLC, we install Delta fixtures because they hold up well and offer strong customer support. Quality faucets reduce the need for frequent replacements and repairs.
  • Can a handyman install light fixtures and ceiling fans?

    Yes, handymen can install light fixtures, ceiling fans, switches, outlets, and dimmers for non-permitted household upgrades. At Green Brothers LLC, we handle minor electrical fixture installations safely and efficiently. For larger electrical work requiring permits, a licensed electrician is needed.
  • What causes wood rot on exterior trim in Indiana?

    Wood rot is caused by prolonged moisture exposure, poor drainage, missing caulk, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles common in Indiana. Fascia, soffits, and deck boards are especially vulnerable. Regular inspection and prompt repair prevent rot from spreading to framing or causing costly structural damage.
  • How much does it cost to mount a large TV?

    Large TV mounting starts at $250 and includes secure wall anchoring, cable management, and proper positioning. At Green Brothers LLC, we ensure the mount is installed into studs or with heavy-duty anchors for safety. Pricing may vary based on wall type and installation complexity.
  • Do handymen charge for estimates or quotes?

    Many handymen offer free phone estimates for straightforward tasks. At Green Brothers LLC, phone estimates are free, but in-person inspections and detailed written quotes carry a fee. This ensures accurate assessments for complex repairs like rotted trim or structural carpentry work.
  • What's included in carpentry trim work?

    Carpentry trim work includes baseboard and crown molding replacement, custom trim fitting, interior and exterior wood repair, and fascia board replacement. At Green Brothers LLC, we also handle wood rot removal, deck board repairs, and framing repairs. Precision cutting and fitting ensure a polished, long-lasting finish.
  • Why do older homes need more exterior repairs?

    Older homes often have aging wood, settled framing, outdated caulking, and weather-worn trim that deteriorates faster. Homes in Carmel, Zionsville, and North Indianapolis frequently experience fascia rot, deck damage, and exterior wood failure. At Green Brothers LLC, we specialize in restoring and protecting these vulnerable areas.
  • Can a handyman fix drywall holes and cracks?

    Yes, handymen repair drywall holes, cracks, seams, and ceiling damage with smooth, paint-ready finishes. At Green Brothers LLC, we also blend textures and prep walls for repainting. Drywall repair is ideal before refreshing interior spaces or after plumbing and electrical work.
  • What should I prepare before a handyman visit?

    Clear the work area, remove fragile items, and make a list of all tasks you need completed. At Green Brothers LLC, we appreciate homeowners identifying priorities and providing access to areas needing repair. This helps us work efficiently and complete multiple projects in one visit.
