Oakbridge Home Services (SOMAX GROUP LLC) provides handyman work for homes in Arlington Heights, IL. This page is for a practical job list: a door that sticks or will not latch, a wall that needs patching, a room that needs a repaint, and the smaller fittings around them. Send the list together, and it can be priced as one job.
Start with what is bothering you most, then add the rest. A door adjustment often sits next to a scuffed wall, a loose handle, or trim that needs attention. Listing those items in one message helps keep the visit, the scope, and the price clear.

What the work includes
For a door, the work includes checking the frame, hinges, latch, and strike plate, then adjusting, tightening, or replacing the part that is causing the problem. Where a door has rubbed the frame or the floor, the affected edge is checked before any adjustment is agreed. For drywall, the work includes cutting out damaged material where needed, patching, taping, smoothing, and preparing the patch for paint. For painting, the work includes checking surfaces for nail holes and damage, covering floors and nearby items in the work area, preparing surfaces, and cleaning up coverings and masking when painting is finished.
Only handyman-scope repairs and installations are offered. No electrical panel work, gas work, or major trade work is included. If a job turns out to need work outside that scope, that is stated before work starts, so the scope can be agreed in plain terms.
What the price depends on
The price depends on the job itself: how many items are on the list, the size and number of damaged areas, the rooms and surfaces to be painted, the parts needed for a door or fixture, and how much preparation is required. Pricing is by the work, not by the hour. A price is given only after a description, photos, ZIP code or address, and phone number have been sent.
How to get a price in Arlington Heights
Use the Get a Price form and send a description of the job, clear photos of each item or area, your ZIP code or address, and your phone number. You can also call or text (224) 584-5800 with the same details. Photos matter most for doors and walls: a wide photo of the area, plus a close photo of the damage, the hinge, the latch, or the surface to be painted, helps give a price that matches the work. Timing is agreed when booking.
