What Are Handywoman Services?

This service may include:


  • Hanging pictures, mirrors, shelves, and curtain rods
  • Changing hard-to-reach bulbs, batteries, and filters
  • Assembling small furniture
  • Minor fixes like loose handles or a sticking door

  • "Who can help with the small jobs my parent can't manage?"
  • "Is there someone I can trust in the home for little tasks?"
  • "How do I keep the house safe without hiring a big contractor?"
  • Handywoman services are often the answer — and Barbara is fully insured for every job.
