Home Repairs in Craiova

About this service

Home repair services cover a wide range of small and medium interventions that keep your home in good working order — from adjusting doors and windows that no longer close properly, to furniture repair, shelf and mirror mounting, fixing dripping taps, replacing handles, or swapping out bathroom accessories. A handyman is the ideal solution when you have several small jobs to do and lack the time or equipment. Unlike specialized tradespeople (electricians, plumbers, tilers), a versatile handyman can resolve multiple types of problems in a single visit, economically and efficiently. Perfect for tenants preparing a space on move-out, landlords maintaining a property, or elderly residents needing help with technical home tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a handyman cost in Craiova?

Rates vary by job type. A simple task (shelf mounting, door adjustment) costs between 30–120 RON. Many handymen charge an hourly rate of 50–150 RON/hour in Craiova. Always request an estimate beforehand.

What types of repairs can a handyman handle?

A home repair handyman can tackle: door and window adjustments, shelf, mirror, and lamp mounting, picture hanging, furniture repairs, handle and lock replacements, minor painting or caulking, baseboard fixing, and similar interventions.

Is it better to hire a handyman or specialized tradespeople?

If you have multiple small jobs of different types, a handyman is more cost-effective — one visit, one call-out fee. For specialized work (electrical, plumbing) always engage certified professionals.

How long does a typical home repair visit take?

Simple jobs (shelf mounting, door adjustment, handle replacement) typically take 30–60 minutes each. A complete visit with multiple tasks can last 2–4 hours.

Does the handyman bring their own tools?

Yes, a professional handyman arrives equipped with the tools needed for standard jobs. Small materials (screws, wall plugs, silicone) are usually included or added at minimal cost. Larger items (shelves, new handles) should be prepared in advance or agreed upon with the handyman.

What should I do if a door can't be opened at all?

If a door is completely stuck, contact a handyman or locksmith urgently. Many professionals on SmallJobs offer emergency interventions. For a locked apartment door, a specialist locksmith can intervene non-invasively.
