Oakbridge Home Services (SOMAX GROUP LLC) provides handyman work for homes in Schaumburg, IL. This page is for the kind of list that builds up room by room: a faucet that drips, a cabinet door that will not stay shut, a light that needs replacing, and a wall that needs a fresh coat after a repair. Send the whole list together, and it can be priced as one job.
Start with the item that causes the most trouble day to day, then walk through the rest of the home in your message. A loose cabinet hinge often sits beside a scuffed wall, a worn outlet cover, or trim that has come away from the wall. Putting those small items in one message helps keep the visit, the scope, and the price clear, instead of treating each one as a separate call.

What the work includes
For a faucet, the work includes checking the supply connections and the fitting itself, then replacing the part that is worn or leaking, where the fitting is within handyman scope. For a cabinet, the work includes checking the hinge, the door, and the frame, then tightening, adjusting, or replacing the hinge or handle so the door closes evenly. For a wall, the work includes preparing the damaged area, patching it, smoothing the surface, and leaving it ready for paint.
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: how many items are on the list, the size and number of damaged areas, the rooms and surfaces to be painted, the parts needed for a faucet, a cabinet, or a fixture, 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.

Timing is agreed when booking.
Handyman in Schaumburg: frequently asked questions
Can I send one list for kitchen and bathroom items?
Yes. Send the full list in one message, with a photo of each item. A dripping faucet, a cabinet hinge, and a light fixture can be priced together as one job, instead of as separate requests.
What do I need to send to get a price?
Send a description of the job, clear photos of each item or damaged area, your ZIP code or address, and your phone number through the Get a Price form, or call or text (224) 584-5800. A price is given only after those details have been sent.
Do you replace a dripping faucet or a worn cabinet hinge?
Yes, where the fitting is within handyman scope. A faucet is checked at the supply connections and the fitting itself, and a cabinet door is checked at the hinge, the door, and the frame, so the part that is worn can be tightened, adjusted, or replaced.
Will a patched wall be ready for paint?
A patched area is smoothed and prepared for paint. Whether painting of the repaired area is included is part of what is priced, and colour and sheen are agreed before work starts where painting is included.
When is the timing agreed?
Timing is agreed when booking. Call or text (224) 584-5800, or send your job through the Get a Price form, to arrange a time.
