Oakbridge Home Services (SOMAX GROUP LLC) provides handyman work for homes in Wheeling, IL. A kitchen request is often the clearest place to start: a garbage disposal that hums, jams, or leaks, an appliance that needs installing, or a faucet that needs replacing beside it. For a disposal, note whether it runs at all, whether it trips its reset, and whether water is leaking from the unit or a connection.
Those kitchen items can be combined with a wall patch, a repainted area, a door adjustment, or a fixture replacement in the same message. Keeping the disposal or appliance first, with the other items listed after it, makes the whole job easy to price as one list.

What the work includes
For a garbage disposal, the work includes checking the existing unit, its power connection, and its drain connections, then repairing or replacing the unit within handyman scope and checking for leaks at the connections. For appliance installation, the work includes checking the space and connections, fitting the appliance as agreed, and checking that it sits level and operates as intended. For a faucet beside a disposal, the work includes checking the fitting and its connections, removing the old faucet where replacement is agreed, fitting the new faucet, and checking for leaks.
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: whether a disposal or appliance needs repair or replacement, whether a replacement unit has been chosen, the condition of the existing connections, and any faucet, wall, painting, door, or fixture work 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.
