Oakbridge Home Services (SOMAX GROUP LLC) provides handyman work for homes in Mount Prospect, IL. A repaint is often the starting point here: a bedroom that needs a fresh coat, a hallway with marks near the stairs, or trim that has yellowed and now stands out against the walls. Painting pairs naturally with the small repairs that should come first, such as filling nail holes, patching a scuffed wall, or tightening a loose door handle.
Describe the rooms in order, and say which surfaces matter most. If you already have a paint colour in mind, mention it, along with the condition of the walls and trim. Photos of each room, taken in daylight where possible, make it much easier to price the preparation and the number of coats that the surfaces require.

What the work includes
For painting, the work includes checking walls, ceilings, and trim for nail holes and damage, filling and smoothing those spots, covering floors and nearby items in the work area, preparing surfaces, and clearing coverings and masking when painting is finished. Drywall patches in a room to be painted are smoothed and prepared so the painted surface does not show the repair edge. Trim work that is part of the same room is checked and agreed as part of the room scope.
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: the number of rooms, the wall and ceiling area, the amount of trim, the condition of the surfaces, the preparation needed, and any drywall or trim repairs included in the same job. 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.

Yes. Colour, sheen, and coats are agreed before work starts, so the finished rooms match what was priced.
