Handyman and Home Improvement Services in Franklin, IN
Franklin homes range from long-established houses to newer construction, and the repair lists they generate look very different. Cotterman Home Services handles both ends of that range as an insured, locally owned home repair and improvement business.
Homeowners, landlords, and residential property owners bring us appliance and fixture replacements, flooring and paint projects, door and trim work, and the accumulated repairs that no single specialty contractor wants to bother with.
You'll know what the work involves and what it costs before it starts, and you'll deal with the same person from the first message to the last walkthrough.

Franklin Homeowner Questions
- What kinds of projects do you handle in Franklin?
- Everything from a leaking faucet or a light fixture swap up to new flooring through a main level, interior repainting, or replacing several doors in one visit.
- Do you work on older Franklin homes?
- Yes. Older houses often need a bit more prep — out-of-square door openings, uneven floors, patched drywall — and we account for that in the scope instead of discovering it halfway through.
- Are you insured?
- Cotterman Home Services is insured and locally owned. We're not a licensed trade contractor, so work that requires a licensed electrician or plumber gets pointed that direction before it becomes a problem.
- How soon can you look at a project?
- Scheduling depends on current workload and the size of the job. Send the details and we'll tell you honestly where you'd fall in the schedule.
