Every one is a job you could never chase from up a ladder mid-repair. Maria screens them and books the ones inside your service area:

Maria speaks handyman

She can tell a plumb and square from a shim it, knows what toenail and kerf mean, and doesn’t stall when a caller rattles off reveal or proud (sitting proud). So the homeowner on the other end gets qualified, not fumbled — and while you’re up a ladder mid-repair, she’s booking jobs.
