Our Approach

  • We fix broken hinges, stuck drawers, and wobbly furniture.
  • We hang hooks, clocks, and towel rails on any wall type.
  • We set up smart home devices and optimize your WiFi.
  • We clean up after every job. Your home stays exactly as we found it.

Why We Take Small Jobs Seriously

Most contractors prefer large jobs. Small tasks often get declined, delayed, or handled carelessly. We take a different approach: every job, regardless of size, gets the same professional tools, materials, and attention.

For a broken hinge, we use the right wood filler and epoxy resin, not just a longer screw. For a wall hook, we scan the wall first and use the correct anchor for your wall type. Small jobs done properly last for years. Small jobs done carelessly often need to be redone within months.

Combining multiple small tasks in one visit is both more efficient and more cost-effective. Make a list before we arrive and we will work through it systematically.

WiFi Optimization for Vienna's Altbau Apartments

Vienna's Altbau walls (often 30-50 cm solid brick) block WiFi signals far more than modern drywall. A standard router can lose 50-70% of signal strength through a single wall, creating dead zones in bedrooms or home offices.

We analyze your WiFi with professional tools, find where and why the signal drops, and recommend the right fix: repositioning your router, switching to a less congested channel, or installing a mesh system (like Eero or TP-Link Deco) for seamless coverage everywhere. Installation and configuration included in a single visit.

Moving your router just 50 cm away from a thick wall or metal radiator can improve signal strength in adjacent rooms by 30-40% - sometimes without any new hardware.

Smart Home Setup: What We Actually Do

Smart home devices are getting easier to use, but physical installation and initial configuration still trips many people up. We handle the hardware: mounting thermostats on radiators, connecting smart switches, positioning cameras, running cables neatly where needed.

We also configure the apps and connect devices to your existing smart home platform (Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit). For thermostats in older Altbau heating systems, we check valve compatibility in advance and bring the right adapter - a step many buyers miss, resulting in thermostats that do not fit their radiators.

Small Jobs Done Right: The Technical Details

Hinge Repair: Epoxy vs. Wood Glue

A hinge ripped from particleboard cannot be repaired with wood glue - there is no clean surface left to bond. Two-part epoxy fills the void, bonds to damaged fibers, and cures harder than the surrounding material. The hinge re-mounted into epoxy holds more securely than it did originally.

We carry both materials and choose the right one for each situation. Using wood glue where epoxy is needed means the repair fails within weeks, often making the damage worse.

Wall Anchor Selection for Small Mountings

Even a small hook or towel rail needs the right anchor. In Altbau brick, a standard plastic plug pulls out under repeated load. In drywall, a standard plug splits the board. We carry anchors for every wall type: expansion anchors for solid brick, cavity anchors for drywall, and injection anchors for crumbling plaster.

Small items fall off walls not because the wall is weak, but because the wrong anchor was used. We identify your wall type before drilling every hole.

Smart Home Protocol Compatibility

Smart home devices use different wireless protocols (Zigbee, Z-Wave, WiFi, Matter). Mixing protocols without a compatible hub results in devices that cannot communicate. We identify which protocols your existing devices use before adding new ones.

We prevent the common frustration of buying a device that will not pair with your existing setup.

FAQs

  • Is there a minimum charge for small jobs?

    Yes, we have a minimum of one hour. If your job takes 30 minutes, you pay for one hour. This covers our travel and setup time and ensures we can provide a professional service even for small tasks.

  • Do you come just to fix a single hinge?

    Yes. Many clients combine a few small tasks in one visit: a hinge to fix, a shelf to mount, a hook to hang. That is the most cost-effective option, but we also come for a single job.

  • Can you set up my smart home devices during the same visit?

    Absolutely. If you want a smart thermostat installed or your WiFi optimized while we are already there, we handle it in the same appointment at the hourly rate.

  • What types of repairs do you handle?

    Broken door and cabinet hinges, stuck or broken drawer runners, loose handles and knobs, towel rails, coat hooks, wall clocks, small picture frames, and similar minor jobs. If you are unsure whether we can help, just send us a WhatsApp with a photo.

  • Can you fix furniture that was damaged in a move?

    Yes. Move-related damage is a common request: broken hinge from disassembly, missing cam lock nut, loose back panel. We bring spare parts for the most common furniture types and fix them on the spot.

  • Do you set up smart home devices from any brand?

    We work with all major smart home brands including tado, Philips Hue, IKEA Dirigera, Shelly, and most Google Home and Amazon Alexa compatible devices. We do not sell hardware but we install and configure what you have purchased.

  • Why is my WiFi slow only in certain rooms?

    Most likely your router signal is blocked by walls. In Vienna's Altbau buildings, thick brick walls can reduce WiFi signal by 50-70% per wall. We diagnose the exact cause and either optimize your router settings or install a mesh system for full coverage.

  • Can you help with jobs not listed here?

    Yes. Send us a description or photo via WhatsApp and we will tell you immediately if it is something we can do.
