Sheetrock Repair & Drywall Patching

Sheetrock Repair & Drywall Patching

Holes, cracks, and water damage in drywall are more common than most homeowners expect — and they get worse when ignored. Xpert Handyman patches and restores sheetrock so walls look clean and seamless again. Whether it's a small nail hole or a large damaged section, the repair is done right the first time. No visible patches, no rough textures — just a smooth finish.

Plumbing Repair & Installation

Plumbing Repair & Installation

Leaks, drips, and broken fixtures are problems that don't get better on their own. Xpert Handyman handles plumbing repairs and installations for kitchens, bathrooms, and anywhere else issues come up around the home. From fixing a running toilet to replacing old supply lines, the work is done cleanly and correctly. You get reliable results without calling a separate licensed plumber for basic repairs.

Interior & Exterior Painting

Interior & Exterior Painting

A fresh coat of paint does more than improve looks — it protects your walls, trim, and siding from wear and moisture over time. Xpert Handyman handles both interior and exterior painting with clean prep work and even, professional coverage. Every surface is properly prepped before paint is ever applied. The result is a finish that looks good now and holds up long-term.

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling

Kitchens and bathrooms are the two rooms that affect daily life the most — and the two that add the most value when updated. Xpert Handyman handles full remodels, from tear-out to final finish, without subcontracting the work to strangers. Every detail — tile, cabinets, fixtures, flooring — is managed under one roof. You work directly with Mickey from start to finish, not a rotating crew.

Hardwood Flooring Installation

Hardwood Flooring Installation

Hardwood floors hold up for decades when they're installed correctly from day one. Xpert Handyman installs solid and engineered hardwood with tight seams, level subfloor prep, and a clean finished edge. The installation process is done carefully — not rushed — so the floor performs the way it should for years to come. It's one of the best upgrades a home can get.

Laminate Flooring Installation

Laminate Flooring Installation

Laminate is a practical, attractive option for homeowners who want the look of hardwood without the higher price point. Xpert Handyman installs laminate flooring throughout entire homes or in single rooms, with clean transitions between spaces. The subfloor is always checked and prepped before any planks go down. The result is a floor that looks great and stays flat over time.

Tile Installation & Repair

Tile Installation & Repair

Tile work takes patience and precision — and it shows when it's done wrong. Xpert Handyman installs tile for floors, showers, backsplashes, and any other surface that calls for it. Grout lines are kept consistent, cuts are clean, and every tile is set level. Whether it's a brand-new installation or fixing an older job someone else left behind, the standard is the same.

Cabinet Installation & Replacement

Cabinet Installation & Replacement

Old or damaged cabinets pull down the look of an entire kitchen or bathroom. Xpert Handyman installs new cabinet sets and replaces worn-out units with clean, level, properly secured work. Every door hangs right, every drawer slides smooth, and the whole unit is secured to the wall the way it should be. New cabinets make a bigger impact than most homeowners expect.

Door Replacement & Installation

Door Replacement & Installation

A door that sticks, doesn't latch properly, or has visible damage is both a security issue and an eyesore. Xpert Handyman replaces interior and exterior doors with clean installation — level, plumb, and properly sealed. Old hardware is removed, new hardware is installed, and the door is tested before the job is called complete. It's a straightforward job that makes a real difference.

Fence Installation & Repair

Fence Installation & Repair

A fence that's leaning, rotting, or missing sections isn't doing its job. Xpert Handyman installs new fences and repairs existing ones using materials that are built to last in the Texas climate. Posts are set deep and level, rails are secured properly, and the finished line is straight from end to end. It protects your property and raises the curb appeal of the whole yard.

Framing & Structural Repairs

Framing & Structural Repairs

Framing problems — whether from age, moisture, or poor original construction — need to be addressed before any cosmetic work goes on top. Xpert Handyman handles structural framing repairs that restore the integrity of walls, floors, and openings throughout the home. The work is done with an understanding of how a structure is supposed to be built, not just patched over. It's the kind of repair that actually solves the problem.

General Home Repairs & Maintenance

General Home Repairs & Maintenance

Not every repair falls into a neat category — and that's exactly why Xpert Handyman exists. From loose fixtures and damaged trim to odd jobs that other contractors won't bother with, the work gets done. No job is too small to handle properly. If something in your home needs attention, it gets the same care as any larger project.

Who We Are

A Team Committed to Excellence

Mickey Starnes

Built From Real Experience

Mickey Starnes started Xpert Handyman after more than 20 years of hands-on work in residential and commercial properties across Tyler, TX. He saw too many homeowners stuck waiting on contractors who showed up late, overcharged, or left jobs half-finished. Xpert Handyman was built to be different — a service you can actually count on, from someone who knows every trade inside and out.

No Payment Until Done

Most handyman services ask for money before a single tool is picked up. At Xpert Handyman, you don't pay until the job is finished and you're satisfied with the results. That policy isn't just a courtesy — it's how every project is handled. When you're not worried about losing money on bad work, you can actually trust the process.
