Contractors
The old way means four phone calls, four trip charges, four weeks of waiting, and a tow bill on top. The Pilantz way is one conversation with the person actually holding the tools.
I built this business around the jobs everyone else calls too small or too far. The dripping faucet AND the cracked gate hinge AND the truck that cranks slow, all handled in the same visit. That is what handyman services should mean when one person carries five trades.

Questions Everyone Asks
How does statewide coverage actually work?
Routes. The truck runs scheduled loops through Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Missouri, so every region gets regular passes. In town calls often land same week, rural calls slot into the next route through your county, and equipment down or no start calls move to the front of the line.
Is any job too small?
No, and that is the point. Small jobs are the business model. One faucet, one outlet, one weld. Better yet, save the whole list and one visit clears it.
What does a visit cost?
You get a firm price before work starts, built from a transparent trip charge based on distance plus the repair itself. Texting a photo first usually gets you a ballpark within the hour during work hours, free.
Are you insured?
Yes, the business carries liability insurance, and all work stays inside the scope your state allows for each trade. When a job needs a licensed plumber or electrician, a licensed plumber or electrician does that portion of it.
Do you work weekends?
Saturdays, yes. Sundays are reserved for family and for true equipment down emergencies for standing customers.
Send The List.
I Bring The Truck.
