Broad Ripple HandymanArts District Homes. Solid Work.
Broad Ripple's craftsman bungalows, 1940s cottages, and converted properties need a handyman who respects the character — and doesn't charge you extra for the drive up from Greenwood.
Broad Ripple (Indianapolis, 46208/46220) sits about 35 minutes north of NHS headquarters. It's one of Indianapolis's most distinctive residential areas — the Monon Trail corridor, the canal, older homes alongside newer infill, and a strong rental market that keeps repair lists steady. Nick has been doing jobs here since 2005.
Why Broad Ripple Homeowners Call NHS
Every call from Broad Ripple tends to be one of three things. Here's how we handle each:
Old homes get nail pops, water stains, and plaster cracks. We patch, skim, and texture-match so the repair disappears — not a white square on a colored wall. Repaints done right to the first coat.
Broad Ripple has more rentals per block than almost anywhere in Indy. We've done hundreds of turnover visits — every item on the punch list, one invoice, one trip. Landlords and property managers use us on repeat.
Whether it's a 65" above the fireplace in a bungalow or a gallery wall of art in a Broad Ripple condo, we mount, wire, and conceal — no visible cables, no drywall carnage, no guesswork on stud placement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does NHS work in Broad Ripple?
Yes — we make regular runs to Broad Ripple. It's about 35 minutes from NHS headquarters in Greenwood, and most weeks Nicholas is already scheduled in the area. No travel surcharge.
Can NHS repair older bungalow homes in Broad Ripple?
Yes. Broad Ripple's 1920s–1940s bungalows share the same quirks as Meridian-Kessler and Irvington — plaster walls, original wood trim, older window hardware. We match textures, patch plaster, and work around original character. We don't rip out what's working to upsell a full remodel.
Does NHS handle rental property turnover lists?
Absolutely — it's a large part of what we do in Broad Ripple. Send the punch list. We price everything, confirm scope, and knock it out in one consolidated visit. Landlords and property managers use us repeatedly because one trip covers all the trades we handle.
What's the minimum job cost?
$150 minimum plus materials. No minimum scope — we'll fix a single item. The $150 just covers labor for the trip out to Broad Ripple.
How quickly can NHS respond?
Most weeks we can schedule within 3–5 business days. For repeat clients and property managers, turnaround is often faster. Call or text (317) 893-3717 — Nick answers personally.
