Handyman Services

Many general contractors will take smaller “handyman” type jobs to help supplement their business. Using a general contractor for small jobs is a good choice as you are getting your small job done properly and know that the work is being done by a licensed professional.

A general contractor will be insured and bonded. Most handymen do not carry insurance. Masterson Construction welcomes all jobs big and small.

We charge $55.00 an hour with a two hour minimum. Please contact us to discuss your project at 562-650-0272

Turn a Negative Into a Positive


The plans called for the wall to be extended 5 feet out. When we opened up the wall we found plumbing drains from the upstairs master bathroom coming down the wall and through the concrete slab. It would have cost the home owner quite a bit extra to reroute the plumbing.

I suggested that we leave the part of the wall that had the plumbing intact and open up the rest. Then we added an arch to match the other arches we where adding throughout the house. The homeowners where very happy with the results.

The Importance of Hiring a Licensed General Contractor

Here is a link to a story that appeared on MSNBC. It illustrates The Importance of Hiring a Licensed General Contractor

Planning a Room Addition

I get a lot of people contacting me for a room addition or some other type of large project. The first thing I ask them is “Do you have plans yet?”.

Many people think that a contractor is the first person to contact when they want to do something like this. In reality you should contact an architect. An architect will help you design your addition and draw up the plans. Then you will need to get in contact with a licensed general contractor. The contractor you choose will then take the plans to have them approved and pull all needed permits.

Smaller jobs like patio covers, window replacements, decks, or smaller kitchen and bath remodels do not normally need plans, but in most cases a permit will need to be pulled.

A “Hands On” Contractor

There are basically two types of general contractors. There are the contractors that tell others (usually sub-contractors they have hired) what to do and when to do it. Then there are general contractors that do A LOT of the work themselves. I am the latter.

While there is not anything wrong necessarily with contractors that do not do any work themselves I have found most clients appreciate the fact that the person they hired to do the work is actually DOING most of it. When you hire Masterson Construction you can rest assured that I, the owner and licensed General Contractor, will be on the job most everyday getting the job done right and on time.
