What we do

One job at a time, done properly

Add anything below to your visit. You supply the parts; we bring the tools, the ladder and a qualified handyperson every time.

Who runs this

My name is Jared Miller, and Saltbox is mine.

The idea came out of my own house — the filter I kept meaning to change, the salt I hadn't got around to buying, the dryer vent nobody had touched in years. I've spent ten years as an elevator mechanic, where being methodical isn't a personality trait, it's the job. The habit is the same one here: know what's in the house, know when it's due, write down what you did.

Right now I run every call myself. Anyone who turns up at your door will do it the way I would, or they won't be turning up at your door.

More about Saltbox, and why it exists.

Why it's different

Three things most handymen don't do

A number before we come.

The visit you design here is the one we confirm by text. If the job turns out bigger on the day, you hear about it before the clock passes it — not on the invoice.

Your parts, or ours for a fee.

You supply the parts, or we buy and deliver them: $20 a visit plus 15% on what we buy, receipt included, and anything left over stays at your home. Not sure what to buy? We'll help you find it.

A qualified handyperson.

Verifiable experience, background checked and professional — in uniform, with photo ID, insured and bonded. We call the day before and again when we're on the way, and we write down what was done.

From the field

This is what a visit actually looks like

Every photograph on this site was taken on one of our own visits, in a real Las Vegas house. There is no stock photography anywhere on it.
