Home Repairs in Motru

About this service

Home repairs cover those small and medium jobs that keep a home running well but aren't worth calling a separate specialist for each one. A skilled handyman adjusts doors and windows, mounts shelves, pictures, and curtains, fixes minor plumbing faults, replaces taps and sockets, assembles furniture, and works through the list of little things you keep putting off. The advantage is that one person handles several jobs in a single visit, saving time and money. On SmallJobs you'll find skilled people with real reviews for quick repairs at your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Can I hire a handyman for just one small job?

Yes, though many handymen charge a minimum call-out fee (30–80 RON), you can hire one for a single small task. Grouping several small jobs into the same visit is usually more cost-effective.

Can a handyman also install appliances (extractor hoods, washing machines)?

Kitchen extractor hood installation (including drainage connection and draft check) is within a qualified handyman's remit. Washing machine connection also involves a plumber. Check the handyman's profile to see what they offer.

How much does replacing an entrance door lock cost?

Replacing the lock and/or cylinder on an entrance door costs between 50–200 RON for labor, depending on the lock type and complexity. The price of the lock itself is additional.

Can I repair my furniture myself?

Simple repairs (tightening screws, replacing hinges, gluing a shelf edge) are accessible to anyone with basic practical skills. More complex repairs (veneering, structural repair) require experience and specific equipment.
