Not sure what's wrong? Diagnostic rates & what's included

I inspect, test, and measure to identify the cause rather than replace parts unnecessarily. Simple adjustments or minor repairs may be included in the diagnostic visit when no significant extra labor or parts are needed. Larger repairs are priced and approved before proceeding.

Meet Luis

Not Your Average Handyman.
An Engineer Who Understands Your Home.

I'm Luis, an electrical engineer, a Tucson homeowner, and the person behind Engineer Handyman. I started this business to bring careful problem solving, honest pricing, and attention to detail to everyday home repairs.

Engineering Mindset

Understand the cause before replacing parts or masking symptoms.

Attention to Detail

Careful installations, clean workmanship, testing, and verification.

Local Accountability

Work directly with a Tucson homeowner who cares about his reputation.

Honest recommendations and scope limits

I do not take on work simply because someone is willing to pay for it. If a project is outside my experience, requires services I do not offer, or needs a licensed contractor, I will say so. You can expect clear pricing, detailed estimates when needed, respect for your home, and troubleshooting before unnecessary replacement.
