Handyman Boulder CO — Trusted Local Service

What Gage Home does (and what we don’t)

Gage focuses on the specific tier of home repair and improvement that’s underserved in Boulder: projects that require professional skills, licensing, and insurance, but that a general contractor would treat as too small to prioritize. Concrete examples of what we handle:

Interior repair and installation: Drywall repair and patching, ceiling fan installation, light fixture replacement, interior door installation, shelving installation, furniture assembly, interior trim installation, painting touch-ups.

Exterior repair and maintenance: Siding repair, fascia repair, deck repair and refinishing, gutter cleaning and maintenance, brick and stone repair, pressure washing, fence repair.

Specialty services: Dryer vent cleaning, small carpentry and woodworking projects, weatherproofing and caulking, minor plumbing (non-licensed scope), light construction.

What we don’t do: Major structural work, licensed electrical work beyond fixture replacement, licensed plumbing beyond faucet/fixture replacement, licensed HVAC, roofing beyond minor repair, foundation work. For these, we’ll help you find the right specialist.

How our pricing works

Gage prices by scope, not by hour. Before any work begins, we provide a written estimate that includes labor, materials, and any subcontracted specialty work. You approve the estimate before we start. Payment is due at completion. This structure protects you from surprise bills and lets you compare apples-to-apples with other providers.

Typical project ranges for reference (specific quotes depend on your home and scope):

Small projects (1–2 hours): $150–$350. Examples: ceiling fan installation, shelving installation, furniture assembly, small drywall patch, dryer vent cleaning.

Medium projects (half day): $350–$800. Examples: interior door installation, larger drywall repair, gutter cleaning full house, siding repair localized area, deck board replacement.

Larger projects (full day): $800–$2,000. Examples: multiple room drywall work, full deck refinishing, extensive siding or fascia repair, multi-room painting touch-ups.

Multi-day projects: $2,000+. Priced per project. Examples: full deck rebuild, extensive siding replacement, larger interior improvement projects.

Our Service Area

Gage serves all of Boulder County: Boulder, Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, Superior, Niwot, Erie, and Broomfield. We’ve done particularly extensive work in the neighborhoods rebuilt after the Marshall Fire (Louisville, Superior, and the affected parts of unincorporated Boulder County), where we understand the specific challenges of rebuilt homes and the compliance requirements around fire mitigation.
