Emergency Handyman Services in Huntersville & Lake Norman
When something fails after hours — a supply line bursts, a storm tears off a section of fence, a lock breaks, or a railing gives way — you need someone who can make it safe now, not next week. Jetton Handyman takes after-hours, weekend, and same-day urgent calls across the Lake Norman area.
Emergency work is about fast, competent make-safe stop-gaps — capping a leak, boarding up, tarping, securing a door or gate — to stop the damage and keep your home safe. For your fastest response, call or text. Our standard rate is $100/hour with a two-hour minimum; emergency and after-hours work is billed at a premium on top of that — call and we'll confirm the rate up front so there are no surprises.

Common questions
What counts as an emergency vs. a normal job?
If it's actively causing damage or making your home unsafe — water spreading, a wide-open entry, a structure failing — that's an emergency we'll prioritize same-day or after-hours. Anything that can safely wait is scheduled as a standard visit at standard rates.
How much does an emergency call cost?
Standard work is $100/hour with a two-hour minimum. Emergency and after-hours calls run at a premium on top of that — you're paying for speed and availability — so call or text and we'll give you the exact rate up front before any work begins.
Can you permanently fix it, or just stop the damage?
The emergency visit is about making things safe and stopping the damage. Many issues we can fully resolve on the spot; anything beyond our light scope (or that needs a licensed trade) we stabilize and refer or schedule for a proper repair.
