Los Angeles handyman services
From the Valley to the beaches, Shatun Brothers connects LA homeowners and renters with vetted handymen. Core handyman work, CA-specific know-how, emergency response — one platform.
Why a Los Angeles–only marketplace
Los Angeles has one of the most fragmented handyman markets in America — 88 cities, 272 neighborhoods, pre-1920 bungalows next door to 2020 high-rise condos. Every home has different wall construction, different HOA rules, different permitting expectations, different earthquake-era considerations.
Shatun Brothers is built specifically for LA. We only match you with pros who work here full-time, who know that plaster over lath isn't the same as drywall, that pool fences have to meet SB442, that pre-1978 homes need lead-safe practices, and that HOA boards in certain buildings require written mount approvals before drilling into walls.
Core handyman services in Los Angeles
The nine most-requested services citywide. Full catalog has 35 categories.
Exterior and outdoor
California-specific work other marketplaces skip
Pre-1978 homes: About a third of LA's housing stock predates 1978 federal lead-paint rules. Our pros carry respirators, dust-containment sheeting, and use HEPA vacs when sanding, drilling, or demo'ing older walls.
Earthquake country: California requires water-heater strapping; most TVs over 55" benefit from secondary anchoring; tall furniture in bedrooms should be anchored to studs. Our pros handle all three as standard work, not upsells.
Pool fence compliance (SB442): Any pool install or renovation in LA County triggers fence + gate + alarm requirements. We flag pros with active pool-safety credentials.
Wildfire response: Emergency board-up, defensible-space prep, ember-vent retrofits — LA's red-flag days require fast-response pros, and we maintain a call-list for them.
Permits & inspections: Electrical panel work, structural changes, and large plumbing jobs in LA require LADBS permits. Our pros pull permits where required and coordinate inspection scheduling.

Frequently asked questions
How do you vet the handymen?
We onboard experienced full-time handymen working in Los Angeles, check work history and customer feedback, and watch ongoing reviews. For jobs that legally require a licensed contractor in California (C-10 electrical panel work, C-36 gas plumbing, C-39 roofing, C-53 pool), we route to licensed partners — clearly flagged on the quote.
Does the platform work throughout LA County?
Yes. We serve the City of Los Angeles plus Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, Long Beach, Torrance, Santa Monica, Culver City, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and most of the South Bay. A handful of outer-county towns route to a smaller pro pool.
Can you handle pre-1978 home work safely?
Yes. Pros working on pre-1978 homes follow EPA RRP lead-safe practices: containment, wet sanding, HEPA cleanup. This adds time but protects your household.
Do you pull permits?
For permit-required jobs (electrical panel upgrades, structural work, most plumbing over fixture-replacement), we route to licensed partners who pull permits with LADBS and coordinate inspection. For small fix-it work, permits are not typically required.
What about emergency response?
Emergency requests (active water leak, storm damage, lockout, wildfire board-up) route to on-call pros. Flag "urgent" in the request form; most emergencies are addressed the same day.
Are prices fixed or quoted per job?
Pros quote per job. We show typical ranges on service pages to set expectations, but the actual price reflects access, materials, wall type, and any surprises the pro discovers on arrival.
