Ridge & Root Handyman

One list. One crew. Photo-ready.

Everyday property care for homeowners, landlords, and anyone with a punch list. Lucien Fritz, local operator. We quote the job, not the hour. You do not have to be on site.

  • Home base Weaverville and north Asheville
  • Out of town Hendersonville, the Asheville metro, Mars Hill, Woodfin, and nearby. One crew. The drive is part of the quote.

The work we take on

Homeowners come first, and anyone else with a list is welcome. Drywall, doors, cleanup, power washing, light plumbing, carpentry, TV mounts, furniture, and the small jobs that pile up.

  1. Drywall patch and finish
  2. Doors, locks, weatherstripping
  3. Caulking and trim touch-ups
  4. TV mounting
  5. Furniture assembly
  6. Property and yard cleanup, weed eating, mulch, small gravel paths
  7. Power washing
  8. Light plumbing, the small jobs
  9. Carpentry
  10. Home punch lists
  11. Minor maintenance and appliance troubleshooting that is not a licensed trade

We also take listing shine and sale-prep punch lists, and rental or Airbnb turnovers. Homeowners still come first.

We do not take electrical, HVAC, roofing, or structural work. Light plumbing is the small stuff, not a repipe, and not a plumbing license. We are not a general contractor, a paint company, or a maid service. Locks mean hardware only. No smart locks or Wi-Fi sales.

What clients say

Lucien Fritz is a great communicator and a hard worker. Very honest and great to have around. I highly recommend him for handyman services, anything from power washing to gutter cleaning to landscaping to framing, fixing faucets, whatever needs done around the house. He's very strong, capable, and trustworthy. I've been doing real estate for 11 years. I've used many handymen over the years and referred them to my clients, and Lucien is top notch.

Jason Martini, Realtor, New Earth AVL Realty, Asheville

Lucien helped us out with some seriously challenging landscaping work around our property. He was communicative, showed up on time, and fair with pricing. Would absolutely recommend him, and work with him again in the future.

Drew Birenbaum, Beaverdam

We had an excellent experience working with Lucien of Ridge & Root. His communication was prompt and friendly, and he showed up exactly when he said he would. I texted photos of the lock that we needed fixed, so he showed up ready with everything he needed to make the repair. The entire process went smoothly, and the next time I am in need of handyman services, Lucien will be my first call.
