Same or next-day punch list help from local Move & Care crews across Massachusetts, Texas, California, Georgia, and North Carolina.
Move-In Handyman
The Move & Care project manager who coordinated your relocation also organizes the handyman punch list. We can ride with your moving crew or return once boxes are in place so the team you already trust finishes the setup.
Same or next-day punch list help from local Move & Care crews wherever you settle.
Moving day does not end once the truck unloads. Our move-in handyman teams close the loop on the punch list in every Move & Care market. The same insured crews that protected your furniture arrive with professional tools, surface protection, and materials to mount TVs, assemble furniture, and finish renter repairs.
Coordinators confirm elevators, parking, permits, and building paperwork before we arrive. Need a licensed electrician or plumber? We pull from vetted partners and manage scheduling, invoicing, and warranties so you still deal with one project manager.
Combine your movers with a handyman to set up your furniture, take out trash, and touch up the walls all in one visit.
Certificates for landlords and condo boards are on file. Every job finishes with photo proof and a signed completion checklist.
Boston renters expect to pay between $60 and $100 for a move-in bundle with a fixed price. This way, you won't have to worry about unexpected gig labor upsells.
From Boston brownstones to Austin high-rises and Charlotte townhomes, we prep surfaces, locate studs, and contain dust before the first anchor goes in. Every visit is tuned to renters, homeowners, and property managers who need reliable help right after a move.
AV testing for stud-mounting, swivel arms, cord concealment, and soundbar brackets.
IKEA wardrobes, West Elm beds, and custom shelving that is level and securely anchored.
We put up gallery walls, mirrors, blinds, and curtain rods according to condo specs.
Minor repairs under 24 square inches, caulking, and paint touch-ups with low-VOC materials.
Battery-powered locks, baby gates, childproof latches, and security gear for renters.
Faucets, garbage disposals, and light fixtures that do not require new wiring or plumbing.
Before move-in day ends, anchor furniture, install gates, and secure cabinets.
When an electrician or plumber is required, we coordinate the visit and manage the job.
Our crews follow state guidelines across Massachusetts, Texas, California, Georgia, and North Carolina. We maintain required registrations (including Massachusetts HIC) and carry full liability plus workers' comp for every technician who enters your home.
We work with licensed tradespeople through trusted subcontractors and handle scheduling, invoicing, and warranty follow-up.
Working in housing built before 1978? We send techs who are certified lead-safe or limit tasks to those that do not disturb painted surfaces. Every job involving paint includes dust control barriers, HEPA vacuums, and disposal bags.
Within one business day you receive COIs, workers' comp certificates, W-9s, and risk assessments. If your condo or HOA has rules on elevator padding, quiet hours, or parking, we add them to the job sheet before arrival.
If hardware settles or a patch shifts within 90 days, we return to fix it at no additional cost. That accountability is what sets us apart from gig marketplaces.
Across our markets, independent handymen charge anywhere from $95 to $140 per hour and often add marketplace fees. We keep pricing straightforward: one insured team, one invoice, and bundle savings when you combine tasks with your move.
Hourly work starts at $115/hr for a two-hour minimum with two technicians. Market surcharges (like LA high-rise parking or extended travel outside Austin) are reviewed with you before booking. Same-day dispatch is an extra $45, waived when paired with a Move & Care relocation. Materials such as mounts, anchors, and caulk are billed at cost with receipts.
Protecting surfaces, finding studs, hiding cords, and leveling shelves for displays up to 48 inches.
Perfect for IKEA, CB2, or Article pieces. We unbox, assemble, level, and anchor before we clean up.
Includes drywall holes up to 24 square inches with color-matched touch-ups, sanding, and HEPA vacuum cleaning.
On delivery day, the handyman rides with your moving crew to reassemble furniture, mount TVs, and handle last-minute fixes.

We cover non-structural carpentry, mounting, furniture assembly, smart home devices, minor plumbing and fixture swaps, drywall patching, and paint touch-ups. If a project needs licensed electrical, plumbing, or HVAC work, we coordinate vetted partners and stay involved until the job is complete.
Yes. Our teams follow EPA RRP lead-safe practices with containment, HEPA filtration, and proper disposal. We send certified technicians, or limit the scope whenever paint disturbance is part of the plan.
Absolutely. Add the Move Day Assist bundle to your moving quote and a handyman rides with your crew to handle mounting, assembly, and quick repairs while the truck is being unloaded.
We reserve same-day slots in Boston, Austin, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Charlotte. Call before 8 a.m. and we will aim for arrival that afternoon; otherwise the next-day visit is guaranteed Monday through Saturday.
