Hi, I'm Michael
I've been doing this work for over 30 years — and I got into it for one reason: too many homeowners around here were getting overcharged for shoddy work. I've lived it myself. So I started offering something better: honest handyman work at a fair price, done by someone who actually shows up.
No dispatchers. No crews you've never met. You call me, I come out, I do the work. From fan and fixture repairs to drywall, plumbing fixes, painting, and the honey-do list that's been growing all year — I handle it all.
No job too big. No job too small. Free estimates, no pressure.

★★★★★
"I had a list of six things I'd been putting off for months. Michael knocked them all out in one visit. Fair price, no upsell, and he actually cleaned up after himself. I've already got him coming back."
★★★★★
"Got quotes from two other guys before calling Sailor Services. Michael was straightforward about what the job actually needed — no padding, no surprise charges. That kind of honesty is rare."

Handyman FAQs
Do you take small handyman jobs?
Yes. Sailor Services handles repairs and installations of all sizes — ceiling fans, outlets, drywall patches, furniture assembly, door adjustments, and fixture installs. No minimum job size.
How quickly can you come out for a handyman job in New Orleans?
Most service calls in New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, and the surrounding area can be scheduled within a few business days. For urgent repairs, call or text directly — same-day or next-day availability when scheduling permits.
What does a handyman service call cost?
All estimates are free with no call-out fee. Work is billed by the hour or by the job depending on scope, with pricing agreed upon before work begins.
Do you do multiple tasks in one visit?
Yes. Multi-task service visits are a common request — multiple repairs or installations completed in a single appointment, which is often more cost-effective than scheduling separate contractors for each item.
What neighborhoods in New Orleans do you service?
Michael serves neighborhoods throughout New Orleans and the Metro area — the Garden District, Uptown, Mid-City, Lakeview, Gentilly, Metairie, Kenner, Marrero, Gretna, Chalmette, and more. Call or text to confirm availability for your location.
Do you work on older New Orleans homes and shotgun houses?
Yes. Older New Orleans homes — shotgun houses, pier-and-beam construction, post-Katrina repairs — have unique quirks. Doors that swell in humidity, settling that throws things out of square, aging plumbing fixtures. Michael has worked on these homes for decades and knows how to approach the repairs correctly.
