Everyone has the list — the door that won't latch, the drywall ding behind it, the wobbly towel bar, the kitchen faucet that drips, the closet hinge that's been loose since you moved in. Each one is too small to feel worth a contractor visit, so they pile up. Brennan's exists to clear that list in a single trip, by the same person who answers the phone.
In Yuma there's a seasonal layer to it too. Monsoon storms tear weatherstripping, crack exterior caulking, ding drywall and rattle fences loose; the heat dries out seals and warps doors. Chris handles those repairs as readily as the everyday stuff, and because he's often already at your place doing a wash, combining the two usually costs less than calling two separate trades.
It's billed honestly: from $75 an hour, and most single jobs land between $75 and $200. Chris gives you a straight estimate before he starts, and if a job is genuinely outside his lane — major electrical or plumbing — he'll tell you up front and point you to the right person rather than learn on your dime.
Holes, dings, cracks and anchor damage patched, textured and ready to paint.
Sticking doors, failed latches, hinges, knobs, locks and weatherstripping.
Re-caulk showers, tubs, windows and exterior gaps — keeps water and heat out.
Faucets, fans, light fixtures, TVs, shelves, blinds and curtain rods.
Faucet swaps, valves, P-traps and running toilets — the small stuff fixed fast.
Storm-damaged weatherstripping, caulking, drywall and fence fixes.
Run through your list. He'll tell you what he can knock out and roughly how long it'll take.
From $75/hr with a clear estimate up front. Out of his lane? He says so honestly.
One visit, one invoice, cleaned up after. The nagging stuff is finally handled.
Most handyman calls start with a list — five things, maybe eight, that have been piling up for months. Chris runs through it on the phone first to figure out roughly what's needed and how long it'll take. If the list is clearly a half-day job he'll tell you that so you're not surprised. Same if something on the list is outside his lane — major electrical or structural work needs a licensed contractor and he'll tell you up front who to call instead of taking the job and doing it wrong.
Yuma's climate creates a predictable pattern of handyman repairs. Monsoon season — July through September — is the busiest time by far. The combination of extreme heat, sudden humidity, heavy rain and dust haboobs does consistent damage every year: exterior caulking cracks and pulls away from stucco, door frames expand and cause sticky or non-latching doors, drywall gets soft from roof leaks or window seepage, and weatherstripping fails after baking all summer then getting hit with rain. Chris carries the materials for the most common post-storm repairs and can usually handle them the same week they happen.
The other Yuma-specific factor is hard water. Colorado River water has extremely high mineral content, and over time it ruins faucet aerators, corrodes valve seats, and causes fixtures to fail faster than they would elsewhere. A dripping faucet in Yuma isn't always just a worn washer — the seat may be damaged from mineral buildup and need a proper repair rather than a quick swap. Chris has the tools to handle both.
The job gets scoped and priced before anything starts. Labor is $75/hr and most single-item fixes finish in an hour. Multiple-item visits get quoted as a package — it's usually better value than hourly for a longer list. If you're already having the exterior or driveway washed, combining a handyman visit is one of the smarter ways to use a single trip fee. See house washing or driveway washing for details on pairing services.
Billed by the hour with a clear estimate first — that's the number you approve before any work.
From $75 an hour, and most single jobs land between $75 and $200. Chris gives you a straight estimate before he starts, so you approve the number first. No surprise invoices.
Drywall, sticking doors and latches, fixture and faucet swaps, re-caulking, cabinet repairs, mounting (TVs, shelves, blinds), weatherstripping, minor plumbing, and monsoon-damage fixes. If it's on your 'meaning to fix that' list, there's a good chance Chris handles it.
Minor plumbing yes — faucets, valves, running toilets, P-traps. For major electrical or plumbing that needs a specialty license, Chris will tell you up front and point you to the right person rather than take on something he shouldn't.
That's Chris's favorite kind of call. He washes the driveway or exterior, knocks out the repairs, cleans up and leaves — one visit, one invoice, usually less than hiring two separate trades since he's already there.
Yes — City of Yuma licensed, BBB A+ accredited and fully insured. The same person who quotes the job does the work and stands behind it.
Yes — monsoon repair is one of the most common calls every year. The combination of heat, sudden humidity, and haboobs does predictable damage: cracked exterior caulking, sticky or non-latching doors, soft drywall from window seepage, and failed weatherstripping. Chris carries the materials for the most common post-storm repairs and can usually get there the same week. If a storm has hit and you've got a list of damage, that's a great time to call. Use our post-monsoon damage checklist to know what to look for before you call.
In Arizona, most handyman work that stays under $1,000 in total labor and materials per job doesn't require a contractor's license. This covers the kinds of repairs Chris handles — patching, fixtures, doors, caulking, minor plumbing. Work that does require a licensed contractor includes HVAC, major electrical panel work, structural changes, roofing, and plumbing that involves moving lines. If your job falls into those categories, Chris will tell you upfront and can refer you to the right person.
Patching and painting the same day depends on the patch size and your paint situation. Small nail-hole fills and texture patches can be painted over within a couple of hours in Yuma's dry heat. Larger repairs need to fully dry and may require a second visit for paint — Chris will tell you what's realistic on-site. If you need a full room painted, that's a separate job; see the painting page for details.
"I had seven things sitting since last monsoon — stuck doors, drywall dings, a dripping faucet, caulking around three windows. Chris knocked it all out in one visit. Honest price, cleaned up after, done."
"Came out the day after I called, which after monsoon season I wasn't expecting. Fixed the weatherstripping and patched a drywall crack. Reasonable rate, no nickel-and-diming. Exactly who you want for small repairs."
"Combined a handyman visit with a driveway wash — Chris's suggestion and a smart one. One trip, one invoice, and the price was less than I expected for both. Efficient guy who knows his stuff."
Call before noon and he can often be there the same afternoon. Free estimate, no obligation.
