Oakbridge Home Services (SOMAX GROUP LLC) provides handyman work for homes in Evanston, IL. Appliance work and carpentry often go together in a useful list: a new appliance that needs installing, a cabinet door that needs adjusting after a change in the kitchen, shelving that needs fitting, or trim that needs tidying around a doorway. Describing the appliance, its location, and the space around it gives the clearest basis for a price.
Add any wall, door, or painting items to the same message. A list that covers the kitchen, the bathroom, and one or two small repairs elsewhere in the home can be priced as one job, rather than as several separate requests.

What the work includes
For appliance installation, the work includes checking the space, the connections that are already in place, and the appliance itself, then installing the appliance within handyman scope and checking that it sits level and operates as intended. For carpentry, the work includes measuring and checking the area, fitting or adjusting shelving, trim, or a cabinet door, and checking the finished fit against the surrounding surfaces. Small repairs that are part of the same list are scoped item by item.
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 type of appliance, the space and connections involved, the amount of carpentry or trim work, and any drywall, painting, door, or fixture items on the same list. 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.
