Lighting, Fixture & Ceiling Fan Services
Lighting upgrades can dramatically change how a space feels. Fix It With Jorge handles fixture swaps and ceiling fans that are appropriate for a handyman-level visit, not full electrical rewires.
- Replacing existing light fixtures with new fixtures of similar type
- Installing ceiling fans where proper rated boxes already exist
- Simple dimmer or switch replacements for standard circuits
- Adjusting fixture heights for dining tables, islands, and entryways
For full rewiring or new circuit runs, homeowners are referred to a licensed electrician.
Painting & Drywall Repair Services
Many homes need targeted patching and painting instead of a full renovation. This service is designed for practical fixes that restore walls and trim in busy living spaces.
- Repairing holes from old mounts, shelves, or door handles
- Skim patching minor dents, scratches, and settlement cracks
- Priming and painting repaired areas to blend with existing colors
- Small room or accent wall repainting with clean lines and protection
For large full-home repaint projects, Jorge can help scope what belongs in a handyman visit versus a full painting crew.
Carpentry & Shelving Services
Carpentry work focuses on storage, organization, and making spaces feel more intentional. Care is taken to locate studs, use the right anchors, and keep lines square and level.
- Installing floating shelves, bookcases, and media shelving
- Building and securing simple closet systems and rods
- Repairing or replacing small sections of baseboard and casing
- Adjusting interior doors, strike plates, and hinges

- Bathroom grab bar installation into studs or blocking where available
- Handrail installation or reinforcement along stairs
- Childproof cabinet latches, outlet covers, and gate mounting
- Door viewers, peepholes, and light-duty security hardware
