East Nashville Handyman

Your home.
Your list.
Let's get it done.

Instead of calling five people for five small things — call one. I come for a full or half day and we knock out everything on your back burner. The leaky faucet. The loose floorboard. Those hanging limbs. All of it.

Inglenook
Upkeep
East Nashville, TN
A chainsaw, a cold January, and some neighbors who needed help.

In January 2026, East Nashville got hit hard by an ice storm. Being someone who genuinely enjoys venturing out into the cold with a chainsaw, Caleb spent days connecting with neighbors to help clear downed limbs in the neighborhood he's called home for 16 years. One thing led to another. Turns out, people need help with a lot more than storm damage — the small repairs, the half-finished projects, the list that sits on the counter and never gets shorter. Not for lack of wanting to, but because life gets in the way. That's what Inglenook Upkeep is here for.

Simple, transparent pricing

Pay for time, not surprises.

Rates cover labor, travel, and standard tools. If a job calls for materials beyond the basics — think lumber, fixtures, specialty hardware — those are billed at cost and I'll always give you a heads up first.

$500
Full Day · ~8 hours

The sweet spot. A full focused day to work through your entire list — inside, outside, whatever you've got. The longer the list, the more this makes sense.

$250
Half Day · ~4 hours

A solid block for a handful of tasks. Have just one or two things? Consider throwing a few more on the list — the half day rate is the best bang for your buck for both of us.

$150
Small Job · under 2 hours

For that one nagging thing you just need gone. That said — even one or two more tasks gets you a lot more value out of the half day rate.

As a homeowner myself, I know how fast costs add up. I work focused — not rushing through, not dragging it out. Safety and quality, always.

Caleb, owner of Inglenook Upkeep, East Nashville handyman
Your neighbor

Hi, I'm Caleb.

I've lived in Inglewood with my family for 16 years. This neighborhood means a lot to us, and I genuinely enjoy being even a small part of keeping it the place we all love.

My goal is to be the bridge between you and whatever's been sitting on your list — whether you're unsure where to start, can't carve out the time, or just want someone you can trust to show up and do it right.

I'm not looking to take every job I can get. I'd rather build a small group of clients I know over time — the kind of relationship where you text me when something comes up and I already know your house.

Hyper-local focus: East Nashville inside the Cumberland River, I-65, and Briley Pkwy. Happy to travel outside that area — additional travel rates may apply.

Let's knock it out.

Text or call with a quick description of what you need. I'll get back to you fast and we'll find a time. No forms, no runaround — just two neighbors figuring out a plan.
