Photographs, not promises.

Every picture below is a job I worked on. No renders, no stock photography, no borrowed portfolio. Most of them are larger than the work KST takes on now, and the page says so where that is the case.

Call (650) 780-6722 What it would cost

01Shelving, cupboards, panelling, fireplace surrounds.

Fitted work and built-ins

Worth saying firstAlmost nobody photographs a faucet swap. The small jobs that fill my week — a toilet, a sticking door, a television on a wall — get finished and I drive home. What I do have photographs of is the fitted work and the larger projects, and what you can judge from them is the standard of the finish and the squareness of the lines. That is the part that carries over.

03Thirteen photographs. Here to show the standard of the hands, not to sell a remodel.

Earlier, larger projects

Not on offer hereThese are larger projects I ran before KST Handyman — bathrooms and kitchens rebuilt, a deck replaced, a garage turned into an office. They were done with crews and trade subcontractors. KST Handyman is me on my own, doing the jobs on the price list, and anything of this size goes to the company that handles it.
