General Home Repairs
Squeaky stairs, loose railings, sagging shelves, wobbly banisters, weatherstripping and all the odd jobs that never quite make it to the top of the list.
Serving Columbus since 2009
That list on the fridge?
That list on the fridge?
Consider it handled.
Loose railings, sticking doors, the ceiling fan still in its box. We knock out the small repairs that are too fiddly for a weekend and too small for a contractor — one skilled craftsman, booked by the hour or the day.

What We Do
Six trades, one phone call
Most homes don’t need a specialist for every little thing. They need one capable person who can do all of it well.
Carpentry & Trim
Baseboard and crown moulding, closet build-outs, custom shelving, deck board replacement and repairs to rotted exterior trim.
Drywall & Painting
Patching holes, taping seams, texture matching and clean interior repainting — rooms, ceilings, doors and trim.
Doors, Locks & Windows
Realigning doors that stick, replacing hinges and strike plates, new deadbolts and smart locks, screen repair and window hardware.
Minor Plumbing & Fixtures
Leaky faucets, running toilets, new vanities, garbage disposals, shower heads and shut-off valves. No permits, no drama.
Mounting, Lighting & Assembly
TV mounts, ceiling fans, light fixtures, curtain rods, closet systems and flat-pack furniture assembled properly the first time.
No Job Too Small

About Sawhorse
The same craftsman, every visit
Sawhorse started because too many good people were stuck between a contractor who wouldn’t take a two-hour job and a stranger off a listings site who showed up without a drill. We keep a small crew on purpose — you meet the person who does the work, and you get the same person back next time.
- Fifteen years of finish carpentry and repair experience
- Background-checked, uniformed, shoe covers on every visit
- Written quote before we book — no surprise line items
- Materials billed at cost with receipts attached
- One-year workmanship guarantee on every repair

Customer Reviews
What the neighbors say
★★★★★
“Eleven things on my list, all done in one half day. He even took the old fixtures with him. First contractor who ever called back the same day.”
Meredith T.Clintonville
★★★★★
“Quoted three hours, finished in two and a half, and only charged me for two and a half. The drywall patch is genuinely invisible.”
Jamal C.Worthington
★★★★★
“We use Sawhorse for turnovers on all four of our rentals now. Punch list goes out Monday, units are ready by Thursday. Invoices are spotless.”
