How are our handyman, turnover cleaning, and demolition rates structured?
Our rates in Minot are fixed to clear unit metrics: $35–$108 per hour for variable repair tasks, $65–$150 per discrete punch-list item, and $140–$450 per property for terminal cleaning and turnover restorations.
We operate without speculative service call fees, trip surcharges within city limits, or surprise disposal costs. What determines your final bill is verified directly prior to dispatch: scope of work, site ingress access, property condition, debris weight and volume, municipal transfer station tipping charges, and photo assessment or an on-site walk-through.

What is covered under our hourly minor repair work ($35–$108/hr)?
Our hourly minor repair service covers interior carpentry adjustments, drywall joint patching, latch and strike alignment, interior trim replacement, subfloor stabilization, and caulking billed at $35 to $108 per hour.
In Minot's harsh freeze-thaw climate, foundation shifts and thermal contraction cause drywall corner bead cracks and sticky door jambs. When an interior door refuses to latch, shaving the pine header without checking the hinge plumb is a sloppy shortcut. We check hinge screws, shim jambs with cedar, reinforce stripped holes with hardwood dowels, and file the strike plate brass until the latch engages with a solid mechanical click.
Typical scope: Wall doorknob punch-throughs, taped drywall stress fractures, baseboard corner re-mitring, squeaking subfloor screw downs, caulking bath perimeters with mold-resistant silicone, and weatherstripping exterior doors against winter drafts.
What quote depends on: Square footage of patch, number of coats of joint compound required (hot mud fast-set vs multi-day feathering), paint colour matching difficulty, and high ceiling access requiring rolling staging.
How do discrete small tasks operate at $65–$150 per task?
Simple small tasks are single-visit punch-list installations billed at a predictable flat rate of $65 to $150 per task, including light fixture replacements, ceiling fans, plumbing P-traps, bathroom grab bars, and furniture assemblies.
You do not need to book a whole day when you just have three hardware annoyances in your Minot home or rental. We confirm your hardware model and electrical box rating from photos beforehand. If a new ceiling fan weighs 35 pounds and your existing ceiling box is an unrated plastic retrofit, mounting it without installing a steel expanding joist brace is dangerous. We identify that structural need upfront so you get a safe, vibration-free installation.
Typical scope: Kitchen faucet replacements, bathroom P-trap and pop-up drain swaps, ADA grab bars anchored directly into solid framing, wall-mounted television brackets into timber studs, smart lock conversions, and mailbox post resets.
What quote depends on: Existing plumbing copper or PVC condition, ceiling height for lighting, necessity of wall stud re-enforcement, and fixture assembly complexity.
How does our move-out cleaning guarantee rental deposit returns ($150–$350)?
Move-out turnover cleaning is an intensive multi-surface restoration designed for rental properties, apartments, and residential leases in Minot, priced between $150 and $350 per property based on square footage and kitchen grease accumulation.
Landlords in Ward County inspect turnover units with high-intensity flashlights. We do not perform superficial broom sweeps. Our crew pulls the oven away from the wall to scrape accumulated grease, scrubs range hoods and exhaust filters, degreases oven interiors, disinfects refrigerator gasket seals, cleans inside all kitchen cabinetry, and washes every baseboard and window sill free of grime and hair before the final walkthrough.
Typical scope: Complete interior appliance degreasing (oven, stovetop burners, microwave, refrigerator, freezer), interior and exterior cabinet wipe-down, bathroom tile scale and soap scum removal, toilet sanitation, baseboard washing, and carpet vacuum edging.
What quote depends on: Property square footage (<800 sq ft apartment vs 2,200 sq ft house), presence of heavy burnt oven grease, nicotine residue on surfaces, and tenant waste staging requirements.
What is involved in our deep cleaning service ($140–$300)?
Our deep cleaning service provides heavy residential and light commercial sanitisation, deep floor scrubbing, bathroom tile grout cleaning, and neglected surface restoration billed between $140 and $300 per property.
Regular maintenance cleaners wipe only the exposed surfaces. Deacon tackles neglected corners where airborne cooking oils, furnace soot, and hard water minerals bake onto surfaces. We use industrial steam wands, rotary tile scrubbers, and hospital-grade sanitizers to lift calcium buildup off shower pans, decontaminate laundry hookups, and eliminate grime buildup along baseboards and radiator fins.
Typical scope: Tile grout scrubbing with alkaline cleaners, lime scale dissolution on chrome faucets, detailed cleaning behind appliances and baseboard heaters, door casing wipe-downs, and commercial hard-floor mechanical scrubbing.
What quote depends on: Degree of surface accumulation, number of full bathrooms, tile square footage requiring mechanical agitation, and pet dander accumulation.
How does post-construction cleanup remove microscopic drywall dust ($200–$450)?
Post-construction cleanup is an occupancy-readiness service priced at $200 to $450 per property that extracts fine drywall dust, scrapes window adhesive, and removes trade residue using certified HEPA multi-stage vacuums.
Sweeping drywall dust with a standard broom simply throws 5-micron gypsum particulates into the air, where they settle across newly finished hardwood and into furnace ductwork hours later. We deploy industrial HEPA dust extractors with sealed canisters, hand-scrape protective tape and manufacturing labels off new window glass using brass razor holders that do not scratch low-E coatings, and wipe every horizontal surface twice with damp microfiber before turnover.
Typical scope: Multi-pass HEPA air and floor filtration, sticker and silicone sealant scraping from double-pane glass, wiping door jambs, outlet covers, light trim, closet shelving, and vacuuming inside forced-air registers.
What quote depends on: Extent of construction residue, presence of floor adhesive or tile grout haze, ceiling heights, and total finished floor area requiring multi-stage extraction.
How do we manage selective demolition and scrap metal recycling?
Our demolition and clean-out service handles non-structural interior teardowns, backyard shed dismantling, and estate cleanouts with custom upfront pricing based on debris weight, site access, and landfill disposal fees.
Unlike generic cleanout outfits that haul everything to the Minot dump and pass along bloated disposal receipts, Deacon separates materials on site. Copper water lines, brass plumbing valves, cast iron tubs, steel framing studs, and aluminum siding are diverted directly to licensed metal recycling processors. Diverting metals reduces the total dumpster tonnage billed to you while keeping reusable raw materials out of the Ward County waste stream.
Typical scope: Non-load-bearing drywall and stud wall removal, kitchen cabinet tear-outs, damaged deck and fence dismantling, residential shed demolition, and whole-house cleanouts for estate settlements.
What quote depends on: Total cubic yard volume, heavy masonry or lath-and-plaster tonnage, carry distance from structure to truck, and verified transfer station scale fees.
