Handyman Services in Cochran’s Crossing (77381)
I live around the corner, not in a call center
I’m Adam Taylor — I don’t just work in The Woodlands, I actually live in Panther Creek, right next door to Cochran’s Crossing. When you hire me, you aren’t dealing with a franchise call center or a stranger dispatched from across town. You’re dealing directly with your neighbor — a licensed, insured professional who knows the character and quirks of these homes firsthand.
I show up on time, with my fully stocked Ultimate Handyman Trailer, ready to knock out your entire honey-do list. Whether it’s a ceiling fan, a TV mount, or ten things on a list you’ve been putting off since the last administration — I’ve got it covered.
Having lived and worked in The Woodlands since 2023, I’m very familiar with the needs of Cochran’s Crossing homes. Built primarily in the 1980s and 90s, these well-established homes are hitting the age where fixtures, fans, and hardware are ready for upgrades — and I’m the guy to do it right.
Common Handyman Services in Cochran’s Crossing
Ceiling Fan Repair and Replacement:
Cochran’s Crossing homes from the 80s and 90s are full of original ceiling fans that are long overdue for an upgrade. Whether yours is wobbling, making noise, or just outdated, I carry everything I need on my trailer to get it balanced, quiet, and ready to run. TDLR Licenses #894 and #376398.
Picture and Art Hanging:
Getting art level and secure is harder than it looks, especially with heavy mirrors and gallery walls. I use a laser level to get perfect placement every time — single statement pieces or full collections, everything ends up exactly where you want it.
Honey-Do Lists:
Most of my Cochran’s Crossing customers have a running list of small repairs they’ve been putting off for months. Whether you just moved in or have been here 35 years, I specialize in knocking out the whole list — from loose hardware to stuck doors to that IKEA desk you bought six months ago.
Cabinet Hardware Installation:
New pulls and knobs make a kitchen feel completely different. I drill clean, consistent holes and get everything lined up right the first time — no guessing, no wonky handles.
Door Hardware Upgrades:
Whether you’re swapping out hardware that’s been on your bathroom door for 20 years, or just changing your exterior locks after moving in, I’ll get everything installed and working right.
Curtain Rod & Blind Mounting:
Most people anchor these into drywall and wonder why they pull out. I find the studs or use the right anchor for the wall type — so your rods stay put.

TV Mounting & Installation
There’s a right way and a wrong way to mount a TV — and the wrong way usually involves a stud finder, a prayer, and a hole in the drywall. I’ll handle it the right way.
Honey-do Lists
Some people have a honey-do list. Some people have a honey-do binder. Either way, working through it is genuinely my favorite kind of job — everything handled.
Picture, Art, and Curtain Hanging
Frames on the floor have a way of becoming shelves for dust — and unused curtain rods have a way of blending in with their surrounds. I’ve hung everything from single pieces, to full gallery walls, to a house full of curtains — everything up straight and where it belongs.
Furniture Assembly
Flat-pack furniture was designed by people who have never assembled flat-pack furniture. IKEA, Wayfair, Amazon — I’ve built it all. Let me get everything put together and level — you’ve got better things to do on a Saturday.

Frequently Asked Questions in Cochran’s Crossing
What handyman services do you offer in Cochran’s Crossing?
If I listed everything, you’d be scrolling all day. I handle a wide range of repairs and maintenance in Cochran’s Crossing — drywall, door adjustments, TV mounting, ceiling fan installation, fence repairs, trim work, attic improvements, and general honey-do list items. If you don’t see it listed, just text me. I probably do it. TDLR License Nos. #894 and #376398
What kinds of jobs are most common in Cochran’s Crossing?
Ceiling fan replacement is probably number one — these homes are at the age where the original fixtures are ready to go. After that it’s picture and art hanging, TV mounting, cabinet hardware, honey-do lists, and furniture assembly.
Do you assemble furniture from brands like IKEA or Wayfair?
Absolutely. I’ve put together everything from Amazon office desks to full patio sets, so you don’t have to spend your weekend deciphering IKEA language. Instead, spend it watching the TV I just hung on your back porch.
Can I give you a list of things to fix instead of just one repair?
Absolutely. Most of my customers have a running list of little things that pile up — a sticking door here, a wobbly fan there, a few things to hang. The more you can batch together, the more efficient it is for both of us.
What is your hourly rate and how does billing work?
For customers in The Woodlands and Shenandoah, my rate is $120 per hour, plus a one-time $50 service call fee that covers my travel, insurance, and my fully stocked Ultimate Handyman Trailer. So the first hour comes to $170 total, and after that I bill in 15-minute increments at my hourly rate — you only pay for the time I’m actually working.
Do you charge a markup on materials or parts?
If materials are needed, I stop at the store on the way, show you the receipt, and add the exact cost to your invoice. What I paid is what you pay. Not a penny more.
Do you have a minimum charge for very small, single tasks?
Yes. My rate is $120 per hour, plus a one-time $50 service call fee — that puts the minimum at $170 for the first hour. Because of this, I always encourage my customers to make a list before I arrive. You’d be amazed how much I can knock out in an hour. See everything I do here.
How do I schedule service?
It’s best to text me directly at 281-827-2614. During regular business hours I’m usually working in someone’s home. And when I’m on their clock, I want to be respectful of their time. And after business hours, I’m at home with my family. So unless you happen to call me when I’m between jobs, I typically don’t pick up my phone.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. I hold TDLR Licenses #894 and #376398, and I carry $1M/$2M general liability insurance — so you’re covered no matter the job.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. I only take jobs that I’m qualified for and have a lot of experience with, so I rarely get callbacks — but if something I did caused a problem, I come back fast and make it right. In my 10 years of doing this, I’ve only had to make one insurance claim.
Can you provide references?
Absolutely, I’d be happy to put you in contact with any of my customers (subject to their approval first of course). But you can also just google “Adam Taylor the Handyman” and read my reviews. I have over 100 5-star reviews and every one of them came from a neighbor just like you.
