Steady Home Works service
Small Repairs & Honey-Do Lists in Kensington & Central CT
Every home accumulates a list. The cabinet hinge that never got tightened, the bathroom door that sticks every humid week, the loose railing you keep reminding yourself about. Individually they feel too small to call anyone about — together they quietly wear your house down.
That is exactly the work we built our business around. Bring us your whole list, no matter how mismatched, and we'll work through it methodically in one visit. You get one appointment, one upfront estimate, and a home that finally works the way it should.
Serving Kensington, Berlin, New Britain & 10 more CT towns — no travel fee.
Typical pricing: Most list visits in central Connecticut land between $150 and $450 depending on how many items we clear. You approve the estimate before we pick up a tool.

Small Repairs & Honey-Do Lists — common questions
Is there a minimum job size?
No. Small work is our specialty — a single loose handrail or one sticking door is a perfectly welcome job. Many neighbors build a list and save up several fixes for a single efficient visit.
Do I need to buy materials in advance?
Usually not. We stock common hardware, anchors, and fasteners, and we can pick up small materials on the way. If your project needs specific parts, we'll let you know before we schedule and can gather them for you.
Can I add items once you arrive?
Absolutely — that's how most visits grow. We'll let you know if an added item changes the price or needs a follow-up visit, and nothing extra starts without your OK.
How fast can you get here?
Most small-repair visits are scheduled within a week of your call, often sooner. Urgent safety issues like a loose railing get priority.
Do you work inside occupied homes?
Yes — that's most of our work. We use drop cloths, shoe covers, and we clean every work area before moving on. We're happy to work around naps, meetings, or caregivers' schedules.
