Handyman services and remodeling for La Jolla's coastal homes
LT Handyman & Construction Services works throughout San Diego County, including La Jolla (the seaside community of cliffs, coves and older coastal homes on the San Diego coastline), with single repairs and the list that has been waiting, as well as full remodels. Larry Tickel holds California General Building licence #1117566, is based in Ramona, and oversees every job from quote to final walkthrough.
Scope of work
We do everything from A to Z, inside and outside your home.
Salt air off the coast is hard on exterior paint, window seals and deck hardware faster than it is further inland, so exterior painting, window replacement and deck repair tend to come up often here. Not every job is a remodel. From a single repair to a full renovation, here is the work, A to Z.
