The right-sized help for apartment-sized jobs.

Browse the kinds of work Ruiz Home Services is designed to review. A listed category is not automatic acceptance—the actual scope, surface, building, and legal requirements still control.

A category is the start

Photos and details determine whether a request is suitable, needs approval, or belongs with a licensed trade or building professional.

Reviewed categories

Tell us the outcome you need.

Specific requests are easier to review, price, coordinate, and complete than vague “handyman for a few things” bookings.

SERVICE 01

Furniture assembly

Assembly of appropriate indoor furniture using the manufacturer’s instructions and supplied hardware.

Beds and bed frames
Desks and tables
Bookcases and shelving units
Dressers and storage pieces
Chairs and benches
Flat-pack furniture

Scope check: Wall anchoring, tip restraints, missing hardware, damaged parts, or unusually heavy pieces can change the scope.

SERVICE 02

Mounting & hanging

Placement and installation of suitable items after the wall type, item weight, anchor plan, and building rules are understood.

Televisions
Shelves
Mirrors and artwork
Curtain rods
Hooks and organizers
Non-electrical accessories

Scope check: No concealed wiring, electrical relocation, structural alteration, facade work, or mounting where the surface cannot be safely identified.

SERVICE 03

Patch & paint touch-ups

Small-scale cosmetic repair for suitable interior surfaces—not full renovation, hazardous-material work, or concealed water damage.

Small nail and anchor holes
Minor drywall blemishes
Scuff touch-ups
Small paint corrections
Move-out punch lists
Caulk-ready surface prep

Scope check: Peeling paint in older housing, recurring moisture, mold, or a leak source may require management, testing, certified handling, or specialist remediation.

SERVICE 04

Doors, cabinets & hardware

Minor non-regulated adjustments or replacement of suitable visible hardware when the work does not affect a required life-safety system.

Cabinet pulls and knobs
Interior handles
Hinges and alignment
Drawer hardware
Closet hardware
Weather stripping

Scope check: Apartment entrance doors, fire-rated assemblies, self-closing devices, security systems, and building-standard locks may require management or another qualified provider.

SERVICE 05

Caulking & minor sealing

Removal and replacement of accessible, non-hazardous caulk or sealant where the underlying surface is sound and dry.

Tub-edge caulk
Sink-edge caulk
Backsplash joints
Interior trim gaps
Draft reduction
Minor weather sealing

Scope check: Active leaks, deteriorated substrate, hidden mold, plumbing movement, or common-building water issues are not solved by covering the joint with new caulk.

SERVICE 06

Move-in & punch-list help

A reviewed group of small compatible tasks for settling in, preparing to move, or finishing a room without turning the visit into an unbounded renovation.

Furniture setup
Picture hanging
Hardware swaps
Minor cosmetic touch-ups
Shelf assembly
Small adjustment lists

Scope check: Each task needs to be described in advance. Unlisted or materially different work is re-scoped instead of silently added during the visit.

Outside the service boundary

These requests need a different path.

Declining the wrong job is part of operating responsibly. If immediate danger exists, contact emergency services or the appropriate building response—not this platform.

Emergencies, active hazards, gas odors, fires, or active flooding

Electrical installation, modification, fixture work, outlets, switches, or panels

Gas piping, concealed plumbing, risers, shutoffs, or building-system work

Structural changes, demolition, facade work, or permit-required construction

Lead, asbestos, mold, pesticide treatment, or hazardous-material remediation

Conditions that are the landlord’s, building’s, or NYCHA’s repair responsibility

Not sure where your task fits?

Describe the result you want and what you can see—without diagnosing the cause yourself. Photos, approximate dimensions, building type, and known approval requirements make review faster.

Request review

Start with the scope, not a guess.

Share the job details and building context. A request is reviewed before availability or scheduling is confirmed.
