Straightforward home repairs & handyperson work from Marroquin Painting and Carpentry. Upfront quote, workmanship guaranteed, no surprises on the invoice.
Small repairs accumulate faster than homeowners can address them individually, and coordinating separate contractors for a drywall patch, a rotted fence board, a sticking door, and a broken cabinet hinge takes more organizational effort than the repairs are worth. The result is a list that grows over months or years, where nothing is urgent enough on its own to schedule a service call but the aggregate is genuinely affecting how the house functions. These are also the repairs that get postponed before a home sale and then become negotiating leverage for buyers—small items that look like deferred maintenance even when the house is otherwise well kept.
Home repairs and handyperson work at Marroquin Painting and Carpentry runs on a half-day or full-day booking model: one visit, one crew, the whole list. Drywall patches are taken through the full process—patching, sanding, priming, and painting—rather than left as a mudded spot for the homeowner to finish. Rotted baseboards or exterior trim are removed and replaced with matching material, not simply painted over. Cabinet hinges that have stripped out are tightened or replaced. Doors that stick or won't latch are planed and adjusted at the hinge or strike plate. Fence boards that have split or shifted are pulled and replaced. The minimum booking is two hours; most repair lists fit within a single day.
For Simi Valley homeowners, bundling repairs into a single visit is often the most efficient use of both time and budget. The practical result is a home where the small things are done—the door that's been sticking since last summer opens cleanly, the drywall patch in the hallway is painted to match and no longer visible, the cabinet drawer that required a specific two-handed technique to close now closes normally. Marroquin Painting and Carpentry approaches these visits with the same material matching and finish care applied to larger jobs, because small repairs done carelessly are as visible as small repairs done well—they're just visible for different reasons.

Common Questions
Home Repairs & Handyperson Work — questions we get a lot
We handle urgent repairs (board-up after storm or impact damage, patching a hole in a fence or wall for security, replacing a broken exterior door) as soon as we can get a crew free, usually within 24-48 hours. We're not a 24/7 emergency service, so for true middle-of-the-night incidents call a board-up specialist first and we'll follow up with permanent repair.
Design and build beautiful, functional kitchen cabinetry tailored to your space and style preferences. We handle the full process: on-site measurement, design review, shop fabrication in solid wood or quality plywood, finish painting or staining, and installation. Soft-close hinges and full-extension drawer slides are standard. Typical kitchen takes 4-6 weeks from design approval to installed and painted. Includes a written 2-year workmanship warranty on all cabinet construction.
Reface or refinish cabinet boxes that are structurally sound, typically 60-70% less than full replacement. We replace doors and drawer fronts, apply matching veneer to exposed box sides, and install new hinges and pulls. Refinishing option strips and re-stains or paints existing doors in our shop. Most kitchens finish in 5-10 working days with your cabinets usable most of that time. Perfect for solid oak or maple boxes that just look dated.
Professional interior painting services using premium low-VOC paints and expert techniques for flawless results. Scope includes full prep (patching, caulking, sanding, priming bare spots), masking of floors and furnishings, cutting in by brush, and two finish coats by roller or sprayer depending on surface. Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore product lines. Average whole-house interior repaint runs 5-8 working days. 2-year warranty on paint adhesion and peeling.
Protect and beautify your home's exterior with high-quality paints designed to withstand California weather. We pressure wash, scrape loose paint, spot-prime bare wood and stucco, caulk cracks around trim and windows, and apply two coats of UV-resistant exterior paint. Stucco, wood siding, trim, fascia, and doors all covered. Typical single-story Simi Valley home: 4-7 working days. 5-year warranty on paint film adhesion against peeling and blistering.
Install, replace and match trim and molding, including custom-milled profiles for older Simi Valley homes. Baseboards, casings, crown, chair rail, and wainscot all handled. For older homes with discontinued profiles, we can mill matching trim or source period-correct stock. Includes nail-hole filling, caulking at all joints, sanding, and two coats of paint. A typical room (base and casings) takes 1-2 days installed and painted.
Custom built-ins, shelving and storage designed and fitted to the room. Living room bookcases, bedroom closets, mudroom benches, home office walls, garage organization, under-stair storage. Design starts with measurements and a sketch review, then shop construction and on-site install with trim scribed tight to walls and ceilings. Finished and painted to match surrounding walls. Typical built-in project: 2-3 weeks from approval to installed and finished.
