Sentinel Handyman LLC is your local, transparent-priced handyman in Maplewood — from quick fixes to full punch-lists, done right the first time.
Maplewood is a close-knit, design-forward Essex community, known for older colonials and craftsman homes with original wood trim, hardwood floors, and well-loved bathrooms. Those homes — and the busy people who live in them — need a handyman who shows up on time, prices honestly, and gets it done. That's exactly what Sentinel was built to be.
Maplewood homeowners care about how things look as much as how they work — so we sand seams flush, match texture and sheen on paint repairs, and we're happy to grain-match wood patches. Quick fixes that look like upgrades.
We serve every part of Maplewood, including the Village, South Mountain section, near Memorial Park, plus the rest of Essex County. Whether it's a single TV mount or a full day of repairs before guests arrive, one call covers the whole list.

Secure, cable-hidden TV mounting on drywall, plaster, brick, and over fireplaces — plus mirrors, art, shelves, and blinds.
From doorknob dings to ceiling water damage — clean patches, sanding, priming, and paint-match so the wall looks untouched.
IKEA and big-box furniture, beds, desks, shelving, and exercise equipment assembled fast, square, and safely anchored.
Like-for-like light fixture and ceiling fan swaps, dimmers, and smart switches installed cleanly and safely.
No-demo bathroom updates: vanities, faucets, toilets, caulk & grout, plus grab bars and aging-in-place safety upgrades.
Board replacement, railing fixes, gate repair, power-washing, and stain/seal to protect your home's exterior.
Room repaints, trim and door touch-ups, ceiling work, and clean color-match for repair patches.
Baseboard and crown molding, custom shelving, door trim, and built-in repairs by a finish carpenter.
Door re-hang, lock replacement, weather stripping, screen repair, and storm-door fixes that quietly waste energy.
Eliminate the negative remarks before they happen. One-trip punch-list service for sellers and listing agents prepping a home for photos, open houses, and inspections — so the property shows cleanly and doesn't lose value during negotiation.
