Know the price
before we knock.
R8Works is a handyman service built around a simple idea: you should see what a job costs before anyone comes to your door.
Why we built it this way
Most handyman jobs start the same way. You call someone, describe the work over the phone, and get a rough number. Then the number changes.
We started R8Works in 2025 because we thought that was backwards. So we built the quote first. Answer a few questions about the job, add a photo if it helps, and you get a real price in about a minute — before you commit to anything, and before anyone visits.
How it works
Describe the job
A few plain questions — no jargon, no forms to print. Add a photo and we can be more precise.
See your price
Upfront and itemised, on screen, with no phone call required. What you see is what you pay.
Pick your time
Choose a slot that suits you. We arrive with the right tools and hardware for the work you described.
We will tell you if you don’t need us
Some jobs genuinely are a good weekend project, and we would rather say so than take the work. If yours is one of them, ask us — advice and installation tips are free, whether or not you ever book anything.
We would rather be the people you trust than the people who charged you for something you could have done yourself.
Where we work
Across the Bay Area and Northern California, down to individual neighbourhoods.
What we do
Fifteen services, all of them the kind of job that is too small for a contractor and too fiddly for a Saturday.
