Husbands 2 Go provides handyman services in Tempe, Arizona, serving homeowners and rental property owners alike from our base in Gilbert. Tempe has some of the oldest housing stock in the East Valley and one of its busiest rental markets, and we do a lot of both kinds of work: keeping mid-century homes sound, and turning rentals around between tenants.
Old bones: Tempe’s housing reality
Tempe has been landlocked since the 1970s. There is no empty desert left to build on, so instead of new subdivisions the city has layers of history: early-1900s and craftsman-era homes in Maple Ash near downtown, post-war and mid-century ranches in Broadmor and the neighborhoods around ASU, and the 1970s and 80s subdivisions of south Tempe near Kiwanis Park. Even the “new” parts of Tempe are decades old now.
Houses of that age need a different kind of handyman. Original galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains, plaster instead of drywall, fixtures replaced three times over the decades by three different skill levels. Our 30+ years of renovation and repair experience covers exactly this territory. Common Tempe jobs include:
- Plumbing repair in homes where the pipes are older than the owners: slow drains, corroded valves, low pressure from mineral-choked lines, and water heaters at the end of the line.
- Repairs layered on repairs. Half our Tempe work involves undoing a previous owner’s weekend project before we can do the actual fix. We have seen it all, and we do not judge.
- Doors, windows, and trim that seventy summers of expansion and contraction have pushed out of square.
Older Tempe homes are worth this care. Maple Ash and the neighborhoods around it hold some of the only genuinely historic housing in the East Valley, and a repair done sympathetically keeps that character while a careless one erases it. When we patch plaster or replace trim in a 1940s home, we match what is there instead of defaulting to whatever the supply house stocks.
For Tempe landlords: the turn is where money leaks
With ASU next door, Tempe runs on rentals, and every property owner knows the math: each week a unit sits empty between tenants costs real money. We compress the turnaround. Our tenant move-out service handles the full punch list in one coordinated pass: patching and painting walls, repairing doors and hardware, fixing what the security-deposit walkthrough found, and hauling off whatever got left behind with our junk removal service. Add carpet cleaning at the end and the unit photographs well and shows ready.
Owners who live out of state appreciate our virtual estimate process here. Send us in after a tenant leaves, walk the unit with us over video, approve the scope, and the work happens without you booking a flight.
Straight answers, guaranteed work
Everything starts with a phone call to 520-508-1420. Show us the problem over your phone camera and we will give you an honest scope: what it needs, what it does not, and what we would do if it were our house. Some older-home problems have a cheap fix and an expensive fix, and we will tell you plainly which one your situation actually calls for.
Our satisfaction guarantee backs every job: you do not pay for project completion until you are completely satisfied with the quality of the craftsmanship. That applies to a hall bath in Broadmor the same as it does to a ten-item rental turn.
