Company Overview
TJ’s Handyman in Modesto, CA, started as a personal project—renovating my own home, then helping family members with their houses when they bought them. What began as a favor for friends and word-of-mouth referrals grew into a full-service handyman business. I’ve been doing electrical work for years, but I finished my formal training in 2023 and became certified, so every job meets current safety standards. We handle a wide range of tasks, from appliance installation and furniture assembly to circuit breaker upgrades and electric vehicle charging stations. For local fencing issues—like fence expansion damage and wood warping from Modesto’s intense summer heat—we use pressure-treated lumber and proper spacing techniques to allow for seasonal movement. We also weatherproof gates and apply stain or paint designed for Central Valley sun exposure. We serve neighborhoods near Vintage Faire Mall, the Modesto Arch, and along McHenry Avenue. Whether it’s a minor drywall repair, a full fence installation, or an electrical panel upgrade, we aim for practical, lasting solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle wood fence warping caused by Modesto’s summer heat?
Modesto’s heat can cause fence boards to expand and warp. We use kiln-dried, pressure-treated lumber and leave proper expansion gaps between boards. We also recommend a quality exterior stain or paint with UV protection to reduce moisture absorption and heat damage. If an existing fence is already warped, we can replace individual boards and reinforce the frame to prevent further issues.
Can you install an electric vehicle charging station in an older Modesto home?
Yes. We start with an electrical inspection to check your panel’s capacity and wiring condition. If needed, we can upgrade your circuit breaker or run new wire to the garage or driveway. We install Level 2 chargers and make sure everything meets local codes. We’ve done this in neighborhoods near the Modesto Arch and around the Standiford area.
What furniture assembly and handyman services do you offer?
We assemble flat-pack furniture from IKEA, Amazon, and other retailers. We also install light fixtures, outlets, ceiling fans, and appliances. For repairs, we handle drywall patching, fence repairs, and gate adjustments. Basically, if it’s a handyman task—from fixing a squeaky gate to mounting a TV—we can take care of it.
