Our service call and estimate fee is $75 to $125 depending on scope. That covers a licensed technician inspecting the issue, writing up what needs to be done, and presenting a flat-rate quote. If you approve the work, the service call fee is credited toward the job total — you are not paying twice.

By the job. You get one flat-rate price before we start, and that is the number on the invoice. No hourly clock running in the background, no surprise charges for a task that took longer than we planned. If the scope changes materially — say, hidden rot under a deck board we could not see without pulling it — we stop, show you, and requote before continuing.

That is our most common booking. Send us the list before the visit — even a rough one — and we will estimate the time and quote the full list. Multi-item visits are typically more cost-effective than separate calls, and our techs come stocked to handle most combinations of handyman, finish, and exterior work in a single trip.

It is a structured spring or fall visit covering the exterior elements that change most with Wisconsin seasons: caulk and weatherstrip condition, gutter inspection, exterior door and window adjustment, and a written report of anything flagged for attention. Spring visits run $250 to $350; fall (pre-winter) visits $300 to $450. Many clients book both and find it replaces most reactive repair calls.

Yes, and it is a major part of our business. We handle tenant-turn punch lists on a fixed per-unit flat rate for portfolios of three or more units. Each turn gets a documented photo report usable for deposit disposition. For ongoing maintenance agreements we offer priority scheduling and fixed monthly visit rates. Call or email Sandra directly to talk through your portfolio.

All workmanship carries a 12-month warranty — if something we did fails within that period, we come back and fix it at no charge. Materials are covered under manufacturer warranty as applicable, which varies from 1 to 10 years depending on the product. We document everything on a completion form you keep, so there is no dispute about what was done.

Most of our work is in older homes — Milwaukee's housing stock in Bay View, Riverwest, Shorewood, and the North Shore is almost entirely pre-1970, and we are comfortable with the quirks: plaster walls, knob-and-tube-era framing, older window hardware, and the moisture patterns that come from Wisconsin winters hitting century-old caulk lines. Jerome is WI Lead-Safe certified for any work in pre-1978 homes.

Yes. We scope and quote small remodels — bathroom vanity replacements, mudroom built-ins, laundry room shelving, kitchen backsplash installs — as fixed-price projects, not hourly. We will walk through the scope with you, confirm the finishes, and quote the whole thing before we start. We do not sub-contract work out; the same crew you met does the job.

Regular hours are Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. For urgent repairs outside those hours — a storm door blown off, a window that will not close in February, a deck railing that needs to be secured before a party — we have after-hours availability. Call (414) 555-0193 and a real person picks up.

Call or text (414) 555-0193, fill out the contact form on this page, or email service@alltradeservices.com. For straightforward items, we can often give a range quote over the phone or by photo. For anything involving structural work, custom finishes, or an unknown condition (moisture damage, hidden rot), we prefer a site visit. The service call fee is $75 to $125 and is credited to your job if you proceed.
