Home Maintenance & Odd Jobs in Los Angeles
Drywall patches, TV mounts, furniture assembly, gutter cleaning, pressure washing, and caulking — the maintenance list that keeps growing until someone tackles it.
NC Services handles the maintenance list every homeowner keeps putting off — drywall patches, TV mounting, furniture assembly, gutter cleaning, pressure washing, and caulking. These jobs are quick on their own but add up fast when they sit untouched for months. You get an insured handyman for each one, whether it's a single task or five bundled into one visit. Book once, and you'll get a rough cost and timeline before anything starts.
What we handle
- Drywall patching, drywall hole repair, and drywall ceiling repair cover everything from a doorknob-sized dent to a larger section that needs a fresh patch and texture match.
- Plaster repair and wall crack repair get the same fix for older homes, where hairline and settling cracks show up more often than in newer construction.
- TV wall mount installation gets your screen mounted securely on drywall, plaster, brick, or masonry, with the mount and hardware matched to your wall type and TV size.
- Picture hanging, mirror hanging, heavy mirror hanging, and shelf installation all use anchors rated for the wall type and the weight of what's going up.
- IKEA furniture assembly and flat pack furniture assembly cover everything from a single desk assembly or bookcase assembly to a full bed frame assembly with a headboard.
- Gutter cleaning clears leaves and debris before they back up onto your roofline, and gutter repair fixes sagging or leaking sections found during the same visit.
- Gutter guard installation and downspout repair get added once a gutter system needs more than a cleaning. Driveway, patio, and deck pressure washing restore surfaces without damaging the material underneath.
- House washing service covers exterior siding and trim, while recaulking service, bathtub caulking, shower caulking, window screen repair, and window screen replacement round out the list.

What it costs in LA
Home maintenance pricing scales with the size and number of jobs bundled into one visit, more than with the task itself. A standard TV mount installation in LA typically runs $149–$319 depending on screen size (Express Mounting, 2026). Smaller jobs — a drywall patch, a shelf install, a caulk touch-up — usually land toward the lower end of that range, while multi-item visits cost more as scope grows. These are typical ranges, not a quote — we'll confirm your price after taking a look.
Questions homeowners ask
What counts as a home maintenance job versus a bigger repair?
Home maintenance covers quick, single-visit fixes — drywall patches, TV mounts, furniture assembly, gutter cleaning, pressure washing, and caulking. A job that turns out to need structural work or a specialty trade gets flagged before it moves forward. Most of what shows up on a homeowner's to-do list falls squarely into this category. Bundling several small jobs into one visit is common and usually more efficient.
Can you patch drywall so it's invisible once it's painted?
Matching texture is the harder part of a drywall patch, more than matching the drywall itself. A skilled patch blends into orange peel, knockdown, or smooth wall texture so the repair doesn't show once it's painted. Larger holes or ceiling repairs sometimes need a slightly wider texture-matching area to blend properly. Paint touch-up isn't automatically included, so flag it if you want that added.
How do you know what wall anchors to use for a TV or heavy mirror?
Wall type drives the anchor choice — drywall, plaster, brick, and masonry each need different hardware to hold weight safely. A TV wall mount installation gets studs located whenever possible, since that's the strongest mounting point available. Heavy mirror hanging follows the same logic, with anchors rated above the mirror's actual weight for a safety margin. Getting this step wrong is the most common cause of a mount pulling loose later.
Is furniture assembly really worth paying someone else to do?
Flat pack furniture assembly gets faster and more consistent with the right tools and experience, especially on multi-piece orders. A single desk assembly or bookcase assembly usually finishes in under an hour, while a bed frame takes longer. Missing or mismatched hardware gets caught early instead of derailing the build halfway through. Multiple pieces booked in one visit typically cost less per item than separate trips.
How often should gutters actually get cleaned in Los Angeles?
Twice a year is a reasonable baseline for most LA homes, more often under heavy tree cover or during a wet winter. Gutter cleaning clears debris before it backs up onto the roofline or siding, which causes bigger problems over time. Gutter repair addresses sagging brackets or leaking seams found during the same visit. Gutter guard installation cuts down on how often cleaning is needed going forward.
What surfaces can you pressure wash without causing damage?
Driveways, patios, decks, and exterior siding all get pressure washed, with pressure and detergent adjusted for each material. Concrete and pavers handle higher pressure than wood decking or painted siding, which need a gentler setting. A test patch in an inconspicuous spot confirms the right pressure before the full surface gets washed. House washing service typically covers siding, trim, and walkways in a single visit.
Do window screens get repaired or do they always need full replacement?
Torn mesh on an otherwise solid frame usually gets a straightforward re-mesh repair instead of a full replacement. Window screen replacement becomes the better option once the frame's bent, cracked, or missing pieces. Multiple screens done in one visit typically cost less per screen than a single one-off repair. Recaulking service around the window frame often gets bundled into the same visit if seals look worn.
