What Homeowners Say About Tools & Hands

A few words from Arlington Heights homeowners about the work we completed in their homes.

Our deck had several worn boards, loose steps, and an unstable railing. Tools & Hands replaced the damaged boards, secured the steps and railing, and repainted the deck. It feels solid again and looks refreshed.

Jennifer L.

Arlington Heights, IL

We had two interior doors that never closed correctly. The team adjusted both doors and replaced the damaged trim around one opening. Nothing complicated or dramatic—just a problem that had bothered us for years and now works the way it should.

Brian C.

Arlington Heights, IL

After a small leak, we were left with an ugly patch in the ceiling. Tools & Hands repaired the drywall and painted the area so well that I can no longer tell where the damage was. They also kept the room surprisingly clean during the work.

Answers to common questions about planning your project, materials, scheduling, and what to expect during the work.

  • Send us a short description and a few photos. We’ll review the details and let you know whether the project fits the type of work our team handles.

  • Yes. Send us the complete list so we can review the projects together and plan the work more efficiently.

  • Usually, it is better to confirm measurements, quantities, and compatibility first. You can also send us a product link or model number for review.

  • Some projects can be completed in one visit, while work involving preparation, drying time, or several steps may require additional visits. We’ll discuss the expected timeline before scheduling.

  • Not always. We usually need access to the work area and a way to reach you if a question comes up. Being available at the beginning and for the final walkthrough is helpful.

  • We’ll explain what we found, show you how it affects the original plan, and discuss the available options before completing any work outside the agreed scope.
