Oakbridge Home Services (SOMAX GROUP LLC) provides handyman work for homes in Oak Park, IL. A practical way to describe a home visit is by its wet areas first: a faucet that drips, a toilet that runs or rocks, a disposal that has stopped working, or a shower fitting that needs attention. A photo of the fitting, the underside of the sink or the base of the toilet, and a short note on what changed makes the problem easy to understand before any visit is arranged.
Those wet-area items often sit beside a painted wall, a damaged door, or a fixture that could be checked in the same visit. Putting the wet areas first keeps the message focused, while still leaving room for the other items on the list.

What the work includes
For a faucet, the work includes checking the existing fitting and its connections, removing the old faucet where replacement is agreed, fitting the new faucet, and checking for leaks at the connections. For a toilet, the work includes checking the tank and base, replacing the part that is causing the problem where a repair is agreed, or replacing the toilet where replacement is agreed, and checking that it fills, flushes, and sits steady. For a garbage disposal, the work includes checking the existing unit and its connections, and replacing or repairing the unit within handyman 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: which faucets, toilets, or disposals are involved, whether a replacement part or unit has been chosen, the condition of the existing fittings and connections, and any painting, drywall, 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.
