- Small jobs welcome
- Serving University City and the wider Charlotte area
University City's growth is tied closely to education and employment. Charlotte College selected the site of its future campus in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the growth of UNC Charlotte alongside University Research Park shaped the area's development from there. Later transit-oriented development along the LYNX Blue Line added another layer.
The housing that resulted is genuinely mixed: established subdivisions of owner-occupied homes, student-oriented and multifamily housing, and newer apartments and townhomes. Practically, that produces two rhythms on the same map. Rental and student-adjacent housing turns over often, which means move-in setup and move-out patching, assembly and mounting requests. Owner-occupied subdivisions nearby need ordinary, unglamorous home maintenance. We take both, and we ask which situation you're in because the timing and the permissions differ.

University City questions, answered
- I'm a renter or a landlord — who needs to approve the work?
- Whoever owns the property. If you're renting, get written permission from the landlord or property manager before anything is drilled, removed or replaced. If you're the owner, you can book directly.
- Can you handle a move-out patch-and-paint before an inspection?
- Yes. Nail holes, anchor holes and small dings patched and touched up fit well into a short visit. Send photos so we can size it properly.
- Do you help with technology setup, not just repairs?
- Yes — mounting, entertainment setup, connected devices and general household tech troubleshooting are all on the list.
- Can you coordinate around apartment access and parking?
- Tell us the access details in the request — entry, parking, loading and elevator availability — and we'll plan the visit around them.
Some electrical, plumbing, HVAC, structural, and other regulated work may require properly licensed North Carolina trade professionals. We'll review your request and let you know when a licensed specialist is required.
