The City Home Repair serves Lafayette across its neighborhoods — downtown Lafayette, Burton Valley, Happy Valley, the Trail neighborhood, and Reliez Valley. We come over the hill to Lafayette and the Lamorinda area, which is why we can usually schedule the same week and keep a quick-fix visit actually quick.
Lafayette and the Lamorinda hills run to ranch homes, mid-century houses, and wooded lots on slopes — properties that constantly generate deck, fence, and small-repair work as the seasons swing from dry summers to wet winters. We handle those small jobs, quoted upfront and done in one visit, and tell you straight when something needs a specialty contractor instead.
We also serve Walnut Creek, Orinda, and Moraga nearby. See the full list of 20 services for everything in scope, or our Walnut Creek handyman page as the hub for this area.
One job or ten — photos help. We'll tell you what's in scope right away.
A fixed quote within 24 hours. Batched jobs cost less than separate visits.
On time, tidy, done right — and guaranteed. If it's not right, we come back.
Small jobs are quoted upfront before any work starts, so you know the price in advance. Costs depend on the task, materials, and time on site. Send a few details or a photo and we'll give you a free estimate with no obligation.
All of them — downtown Lafayette, Burton Valley, Happy Valley, the Trail neighborhood, and Reliez Valley — plus nearby Walnut Creek, Orinda, Moraga across the Lamorinda.
No. Hanging a mirror, swapping a light fixture, fixing one sticking door — small jobs are the business, not a favor. Batching a few together into one visit is the best value.
Yes — turnover punch lists, small repairs between tenants, and recurring maintenance for rental units around Lafayette and the Lamorinda. One reliable contact for the small stuff saves a lot of vendor-chasing.
Usually the same week, and often sooner for quick fixes. Call (415) 936-4709 or send the form and we'll confirm a time.
