Who you're hiring

Hi, I'm Adlee

Growing up on a farm with an engineer for a father taught me a lot: good work ethic, honesty, respect, and how to fix just about anything. I started The Mountain Handyman to bring that same care to homes here in Colorado Springs.

When I show up, you're getting one person who takes pride in the work and stands behind it — not a rotating crew. If something's outside what I do, I'll tell you and point you the right direction.

What folks say

How I price

No-surprise pricing

Most folks have been burned by a quote that creeps — told $300, billed $700. I don't work that way.

🤝

The price I quote is the price you pay

Your quote breaks out labor and materials, so you see exactly what you're paying for — and that price is locked. If the work ever takes me longer than I planned, that's on me, not you. You pay what we agreed.

🔎

If the job changes, you'll know first

Sometimes I open something up and find a surprise — a cracked P-trap behind a garbage disposal, say. If the actual work changes, I stop, show you, and we agree on the new price before I go any further. No surprises on the final bill.

Insured

General liability coverage, so you're protected.

No-surprise pricing

The quote is the price. Period.

FAQs

How does getting a quote work?

For small jobs, text or email me a few photos and I'll get you a price quickly. For bigger projects I'll schedule a quick walk-through, take a look, and send a written quote — usually within a day or two for small jobs, up to about a week for larger ones.

Do you charge for estimates?

No. Reaching out and getting a quote is always free.

How do you price your work?

I quote a flat price per job, not an hourly rate, with labor and materials spelled out so you know the full cost before any work starts.

Will the price change once you've started?

No surprises — the price I quote is the price you pay. If I underestimate how long a job takes, that's on me, not you. The only thing that changes the price is a change in the actual work — like opening something up and finding hidden damage — and even then I stop, show you, and get your okay before doing anything extra.

Do you take a deposit?

For most jobs, no. For projects with significant materials (roughly $100–150+) or larger jobs ($1,000+ total), I ask for a 50% or materials deposit up front so I can buy what's needed and reserve your spot.

What areas do you serve?

All of El Paso County at standard rates — Colorado Springs, Falcon, Peyton, Calhan, Monument, and Fountain. I'll travel a bit farther (Castle Rock, Woodland Park, Pueblo) for a small added trip charge.

What about plumbing and electrical?

I handle the minor stuff — faucets, shower heads, and garbage disposals on the plumbing side; light fixtures, ceiling fans, and outlet/switch swaps on the electrical side. Once a job goes behind the wall, that's a job for a licensed plumber or electrician, and I'll tell you so.
