Handyman service across Covington & Kenton County
Looking for a reliable handyman in Covington? Covington is Northern Kentucky’s largest city and one of its most historic, sitting across the Ohio River from downtown Cincinnati at the foot of the Roebling Suspension Bridge. Fix It-Cincy works throughout the city — from the 19th-century rowhouses of MainStrasse Village, Licking-Riverside and the Mutter Gottes historic district to the hillside neighborhoods near Devou Park and the homes along the Licking River.
Much of Covington’s housing dates to the 1800s and early 1900s, so craftsmanship matters here: lath-and-plaster walls, original wood trim and windows, settling brick and aging fixtures. We specialize in repairs that respect that character — careful plaster and drywall work, door and window restoration, interior and trim painting, and bathroom and kitchen updates — all backed by an honest $85 service call and free estimates on larger jobs.
Areas we serve in Covington: MainStrasse Village, Licking-Riverside, Mutter Gottes, Wallace Woods, Botany Hills, Latonia and the Devou Park riverfront (ZIP codes 41011, 41014 and 41016).
“Proud to keep Covington homes safe, comfortable and beautiful — one honest repair at a time.”

FAQ
Covington handyman questions
How much does a handyman cost in Covington, KY?
Fix It-Cincy charges a flat $85 service call in Covington that covers the visit, assessment and the first hour of work. For larger projects we provide a free, written estimate up front with honest, all-in pricing and no surprise charges. Most small repairs are finished within that first service-call hour. Because many Covington homes are historic, we’ll always walk you through the scope before starting work on plaster, trim or older fixtures.
Do you work on historic and older homes in Covington?
Yes — it’s one of our specialties. Covington’s MainStrasse, Licking-Riverside and Mutter Gottes neighborhoods are full of 1800s and early-1900s homes, and we take extra care with lath-and-plaster walls, original trim and woodwork, older windows and aging fixtures so repairs blend in seamlessly and last.
Do you need a license to be a handyman in Kentucky?
Kentucky does not require a state license for general handyman and home-repair work, but specialized trades — electrical, plumbing and HVAC — must be performed by licensed professionals, and structural changes in Covington generally need a City of Covington permit. Fix It-Cincy is fully insured and owner-operated, and for anything that legally requires a licensed trade or a permit in Kenton County, we bring in the right licensed pro and pull the permit before starting.
What are the most common repairs for Covington's older homes?
Plaster and drywall repair, sticking or drafty original doors and windows, interior and trim painting, and bathroom and kitchen updates are the most common requests. Older Covington homes also frequently need fresh caulking, weatherproofing and small structural touch-ups as they settle over the decades.
