Oakbridge Home Services (SOMAX GROUP LLC) provides handyman work for homes in Elk Grove Village, IL. Many requests here start with walls: a dented corner, a hole left after a fixture was moved, or a room that has collected scuffs over time. Those wall jobs often sit beside a second item, such as a door that drags, a loose piece of trim, or a switch cover that needs replacing, and sending them together keeps the job in one clear scope.
Put the wall work first in your message, then list anything else you want checked. A wide photo of the room, a close photo of each damaged area, and a note about whether the repaired area should be painted help shape a price that matches the work, rather than a guess from a short description alone.

What the work includes
For drywall, the work includes checking the damaged area, cutting out material that cannot be repaired in place 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 clearing coverings and masking when painting is finished. Door work in the same visit includes checking the frame, hinges, latch, and strike plate before an adjustment or replacement part is agreed.
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 and size of damaged wall areas, the rooms and surfaces to be painted, the number of items on the list, the parts needed, 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.
