Questions People Ask Us

What areas do you serve?

We work in Boca Raton, Highland Beach & Delray Beach, all within Palm Beach County, Florida. That is a deliberately tight radius rather than a marketing claim about covering all of South Florida.

Staying local is why we can look at a job properly instead of squeezing it between drives across three counties. If you are just outside those three cities, call (561) 306-1483 and ask, and we will give you a straight yes or no.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes, fully licensed and insured. You are welcome to ask us for the details before any work begins, and you should ask the same of anyone else you are considering.

A contractor who hesitates at that question has answered it. Verifying it costs you nothing and is the single most useful thing you can do before letting someone work in your home.

Who will actually be doing the work in my home?

Michael Chen, Owner & Master Craftsman. This is an owner-operated business, so the person who answers the phone, looks at the job and quotes it is the same person who arrives to do it.

There is no dispatcher, no rotating crew of subcontractors you have never met, and no gap between what was agreed on the phone and what the person on site was told.

How much experience does Michael have?

25+ years as a craftsman, and Precision Craft Handyman operates under GreenTech United LLC.

A good deal of our work now comes from word-of-mouth recommendations between neighbors, which is the only referral source we have ever really relied on.

What kinds of work do you take on?

General handyman work, construction and remodeling, drywall and painting, flooring and tile, electrical and technology, and plumbing. Within those: sticking doors, mounting heavy televisions, complex furniture assembly and restoration, closet systems, bathroom and kitchen remodels, custom cabinets, light fixtures and ceiling fans, water heaters, and water purification systems.

We also do affordable ongoing property maintenance and management for homes and rental properties, which for most people works better than calling about one thing at a time.

Is there any work you will not take on?

Yes, and we would rather tell you now than halfway through. New electrical circuits, panel work or anything at the service entrance belongs to a licensed electrician. So does re-piping, sewer line work, gas water heaters and any gas work at all.

The same goes for structural changes, anything affecting how the building resists wind load, roofing, impact windows and shutter installation, and air conditioning work beyond changing a filter.

If your job falls into one of those, say so on the phone and we will point you toward the right specialist rather than taking it on.

Do you charge for a quote?

No. Quotes are free, and you will get an honest assessment of what the job actually requires rather than a number designed to win the work and grow later.

The fastest route is to call (561) 306-1483 and describe the problem in your own words. You can also send the details through the quote form on this site and we will call you back.

Do you speak Spanish? / ¿Hablan español?

The main pages of this site are translated into Spanish, so you can read about our services in your own language. The work itself is handled by Michael, who speaks English only, so for the phone call please have someone with you who speaks English.

Las páginas principales de este sitio están traducidas al español, así que puede leer sobre nuestros servicios en su propio idioma. El trabajo lo realiza Michael, que habla solamente inglés, así que para la llamada le pedimos que lo acompañe alguien que hable inglés.

Will you come out for one small job?

Yes. A single sticking door, one ceiling fan or a television that needs mounting on a concrete block wall are all normal work for us.

That said, if you have been keeping a mental list, it is worth reading it out on the phone. Several small items handled in one visit is almost always better value than the same items spread over several.

Can you help with an HOA violation letter or community requirements?

We work in a lot of associations across Palm Beach County, and most violation letters concern the same handful of things: chalked or peeling exterior paint, mildew staining on walls and driveways, rot in fascia and trim, rust streaks from corroded fasteners, and torn lanai screening.

Bring us the letter and we will work through what it is actually asking for. Where the work is visible from the street, check your association documents before we start, because approved colors and materials are usually specified.

Do you work in condominiums and 55+ communities?

Regularly, and a good share of our remodeling work is in them. Condominium work brings its own constraints: fixed footprints, walls that cannot move, and association rules that often specify sound-rated underlayment above the ground floor.

Those rules are much cheaper to read before the work than after, so we check them with you first.

Can you prepare a property for the summer, or for sale?

Yes to both, and they are two of the most worthwhile calls you can make. Closing up a home for a Florida summer has a specific checklist, and the thermostat decision in particular is one most people get backwards.

Before a sale, a short list of small repairs — doors that latch, fresh caulk and grout, patched drywall, working fixtures — changes the impression a buyer forms far more than the cost suggests.

Are the photos in your gallery your own work?

Every photo in the Before & After gallery is our own work in Boca Raton, Highland Beach & Delray Beach. No stock photography and no other company's projects.

What is the best way to get in touch?

Call (561) 306-1483 or email mkcc626@gmail.com. Call or message any time and we will get back to you.

If you would rather write it down than explain it on the phone, use the quote form and include your ZIP code so we can confirm we cover your street.
