Sentinel Handyman LLC is your local, transparent-priced handyman in Montclair — from quick fixes to full punch-lists, done right the first time.
Montclair is one of New Jersey's most architecturally rich towns, known for Tudor, colonial, and Victorian homes with original plaster, picture rails, and serious finishes. 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.
Montclair homes deserve a handyman who respects the architecture — plaster patching that disappears, picture-rail-compatible art hanging, and trim work that matches the original profile. We don't put modern butt joints into a 1910 colonial.
We serve every part of Montclair, including Upper Montclair, Watchung Plaza, South End, near the art museum, 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.
