Looking for a handyman in Mesa? Husbands 2 Go serves all of Mesa from our shop in Gilbert, directly on the city’s southern border. We are a licensed, bonded, and insured general contractor with 30+ years of experience, which matters in Mesa more than almost anywhere else in the Valley, because no other East Valley city has such a wide spread of housing ages under one name.
A city with five decades of housing under one roof
Mesa is enormous, and its neighborhoods were built in waves. West and central Mesa hold mid-century blocks and the big 1970s and 80s master plans, led by Dobson Ranch, one of Arizona’s first large planned communities, laid out around its lakes starting in 1973. Northeast Mesa added the hillside tile-roof neighborhoods of Las Sendas and Red Mountain Ranch in the 1990s. Southeast Mesa is still building today in Eastmark and the Gateway area. Add the largest concentration of 55+ communities in Arizona, and “a Mesa house” can mean almost anything.
That range is why experience matters here. The repair that is routine in a 2020 Eastmark build can be a completely different animal in a 1978 Dobson Ranch home.
What older Mesa homes ask for
If your Mesa house dates from the 60s through the 80s, its original systems are living on borrowed time:
- Plumbing from another era. Original supply lines, valves, and drains in these homes are decades past their design life, and materials used back then do not fail gracefully. Our plumbing repair work in older Mesa neighborhoods is often about replacing what is about to leak, not just what already has.
- Electrical built for 1975 loads. Two-prong outlets, crowded panels, and fixtures on their third or fourth owner. Electrical repair calls in central and west Mesa routinely turn up wiring that needs correcting before we can even hang the new fixture safely.
- Termites and dry rot. Older wood, mature landscaping, and decades of irrigation give termites plenty to work with. We handle dry rot and termite damage repair, rebuilding damaged fascia, trim, and framing after the exterminator has done their part.
- Bathrooms on their original everything. A 1980s Mesa bathroom with its original valves, pan, and vanity is due. A bathroom remodel here often uncovers surprises behind the tile, and it helps to hire a general contractor who has seen them all before.
Newer southeast Mesa homes have their own shorter list: settling cracks, builder-grade hardware, and warranty leftovers the builder never came back for. We handle those too.
One more Mesa-specific note: if you are buying or selling an older home here, inspection reports in these neighborhoods tend to run long. We regularly work from a buyer’s inspection list, separating the items that genuinely matter from the ones an inspector flags out of caution, and pricing the repairs so the deal can move forward with real numbers instead of guesses.
Snowbird and 55+ community work
Mesa’s winter-visitor population is a big part of the city, and we do a steady amount of work getting seasonal homes ready: repairs found on arrival, maintenance before departure, and the projects that are easier to do while the house is empty. If you manage from out of state, our virtual estimate process was made for you.
How to get started
Call 520-508-1420 for a virtual estimate. You show us the problem over your phone, we scope it honestly, and you decide. Every project is backed by our satisfaction guarantee: you do not pay for project completion until you are completely satisfied with the craftsmanship.
