Why Kiwi
The basics, done right
Local
I live in Kings Beach. North Tahoe and Truckee are my neighborhood, not a long drive from somewhere else.
Responsive
Text me photos and you'll get a real answer from me, not a call center or a booking app.
Shows up
If I say I'll be there Tuesday, I'm there Tuesday. If something changes, you hear about it before, not after.
Cleans up
Drop cloths down, dust contained, scraps hauled off. The only sign I was there should be the fixed thing.

FAQ
Common questions
How do I get a quote?
Text photos of the job to 775-303-1672 or use the job request form. Photos are the fastest way. Most small jobs can be quoted without a visit.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are free. Send photos and a short description and I'll get back to you with a quote.
What areas do you cover?
North Lake Tahoe and Truckee: Kings Beach, Tahoe Vista, Carnelian Bay, Tahoe City, Olympic Valley, Northstar, Truckee, Glenshire, Incline Village, Soda Springs and Donner Summit, and the West Shore through Homewood and Tahoma.
Are you a licensed contractor?
No. Kiwi Handyman Tahoe is a handyman service, not a licensed contractor in California or Nevada. I take small jobs under $1,000 in labor and materials, and refer anything larger, plus all electrical, plumbing and gas work, to licensed contractors.
What kind of jobs don't you take?
Electrical, plumbing and gas work, remodels, additions, structural repairs and roof snow removal. For those I'll point you to someone good.
How do I pay?
Zelle, cash or check, once the job is done.
Do I need to be home while you work?
No. Many customers are second-home owners or property managers. A lockbox or key works fine, and I'll send photos when the job is finished.
Do you work with vacation rental owners and property managers?
Yes. Turnover fixes, guest damage and recurring maintenance visits, scheduled around your bookings.
