Owner-operated home improvement built on real construction experience
Based in Glendale, serving Greater Los Angeles. Clean work, clear communication, and finishes that last — every time.
Hi, I’m Alex — founder of ProHands
I hold a degree in engineering, a second degree in economics, and formal training in carpentry. With over 20 years of personal experience in construction and renovation — including residential and commercial building projects — I bring both technical expertise and practical know-how to every job.
We’re more than a one-man operation. ProHands is a skilled team of professionals with a combined experience of over 50 years across all major trades. That depth lets us take on projects of any size and complexity.
Built around craft and accountability
Home Improvement by ProHands started with a simple observation: too many homeowners get stuck between projects that are too small for a general contractor and too big for DIY. These are exactly the projects where quality of workmanship matters most — and where it is often hardest to find a team that takes the work seriously.
Our background includes years of construction and finish work across a wide range of residential and commercial projects. That foundation informs how we approach every job in Los Angeles today — we understand how homes are built, not just how they look. This matters most when dealing with older LA housing stock: Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Revival homes, mid-century houses, and hillside properties each have their own quirks, and we adjust our approach to match what each home actually needs.
Today our focus is on higher-value repair, renovation, and finish work — fences and gates, interior remodels, painting, flooring, drywall restoration, finish carpentry, and cosmetic updates. We operate as a small, accountable team rather than a sales organization: no middlemen, no handoffs, no surprises on the invoice.
15+ years building real structures, from foundation to finish
Before launching ProHands in Los Angeles, our team spent over 15 years building residential homes and commercial & industrial structures from the ground up — managing every stage from foundation and steel framing to roofing, utilities, and finish work. That experience is the backbone of everything we do today.
Custom-built homes
Industrial & agricultural projects
Cattle & dairy facilities, warehouses, processing plants, hangars, and steel-framed agricultural complexes — built start-to-finish by our crew.
Architectural drawings & project documentation
Engineering plans, structural drawings, and full project documentation prepared in-house for the projects we built.
The team behind every ProHands project
Real people, on real jobsites — carpenters, painters, finishers, and tradesmen with decades of combined experience. Every project is handled by skilled craftsmen who care about the result, not subcontracted out to the lowest bidder.
Construction-grade thinking, finish-carpentry execution

Engineering-based approach
We diagnose problems at the structural level — not just patch what’s visible.
Workmanship warranty
12 months on labor for all major projects. We stand behind our work.
Same-day estimates
Send photos and a short description — most quotes back the same day.
Clean jobsites
Dust control, careful prep, daily cleanup. Your home stays liveable.
Direct lead-craftsman contact
You speak with the team that does the work — no call-center middleman.
Transparent pricing
Project-based written proposals. No surprise charges, no upsells.
How we handle every project
A consistent, simple process from the first message to the final walkthrough.
Listen First, Quote Second
Every estimate starts with understanding what you actually want — not what is easiest to sell. Questions come before quotes.
Written Scope & Price
No verbal agreements or vague estimates. You get a clear written proposal with scope, materials, timeline, and warranty before anything starts.
Prep Is Half the Job
The majority of a quality finish is the work that happens before the finish itself. Surfaces are properly prepped, protected, and primed.
Changes Through Change Orders
If the scope shifts during a project, you see the additional work and cost in writing before it happens. No verbal surprises.
Clean Site, Every Day
Work areas are cleaned up at the end of each day. Your home remains a home while we are there, not a construction zone.
Walkthrough Before Invoice
Final payment comes after a walkthrough where you confirm the work meets expectations. Punch-list items get addressed before the project is closed.
What we do
From small punch-lists to full remodels — handled with the same standard of preparation, care, and finish quality.
Real reviews from real clients

— Tania I.“Responsible, tidy, and focused on client satisfaction. They were able to diagnose how far the damage went, cut that off and replaced and painted. You never would have known there had been damage.”
