What We Handle in Candler-McAfee
Our handyman services fall into three categories, and most homeowners need all three at different points in the year.
Maintenance
One-time and recurring solutions that keep your home running as it should. Seasonal preparations, routine check-ups, and proactive upkeep before small issues become expensive ones.
Small Projects & Repairs
Drywall repair, door installation, fixture replacement, ceiling fan installation, and similar fast-turnaround work. Our technicians arrive with fully stocked vehicles, so most repairs don’t require a return trip for parts.
Updates & Remodels
Kitchen and bathroom renovations, deck repair and installation, flooring services, interior remodeling services, exterior remodeling services, and basement refits. We coordinate the full scope so you’re not managing separate trades.
Additional services available through our South DeKalb location include carpentry services, curtain and blind installation, drywall services, electrical services, home maintenance services, and painting services. Some services are subject to state and local licensing requirements. We’ll let you know upfront what applies to your project.
Building Permits in Unincorporated DeKalb County
Because Candler-McAfee sits in unincorporated DeKalb County, building permits are administered by DeKalb Development Services rather than a city permitting office. That distinction matters when planning renovations or structural work. DeKalb County adopted the 2024 International Codes effective January 1, 2026, so any work permitted on or after that date falls under those updated standards.
Permits are typically required for additions, structural alterations, reroofing, window and door replacement, and many interior improvements. Ordinary nonstructural repairs often don’t require one. Our technicians are trained on local code requirements and can help you understand what your project needs before work begins. State-licensed contractors in Georgia must also register with DeKalb Development Services before pulling permits in the unincorporated county, and we can handle that process so you don’t have to.
How We Deliver Home Repair in Candler-McAfee
Our process is built around predictability. Before any work starts, we provide a written estimate that outlines the scope, materials, and projected budget. Smaller projects can often get a phone estimate, so you’re not waiting on a site visit to know what something costs. From there, one dedicated point of contact takes you from estimate through final walk-through.
All labor is backed by our one-year labor guarantee. We clean up the work area at the end of each visit and track project details so we can send reminders for future maintenance needs. The goal is to make property upkeep something you don’t have to manage on your own.
Locally Owned, Backed by Proven Standards
House Doctors operates as a locally owned franchise. Our technicians live and work in the communities they serve, including Candler-McAfee and the broader South DeKalb area. That local familiarity, combined with the documented, repeatable processes of a national brand operating since 1997, means you get accountability at both levels.
