Handyman and Home Improvement Services in South Indianapolis
Cotterman Home Services is an insured home repair and improvement business based in Johnson County, and the south side of Indianapolis is a natural extension of that working area.
The homes here keep us busy with practical work: replacing tired flooring, refreshing interior paint, hanging new fixtures, swapping out appliances and vanities, straightening out doors, and knocking down a repair list that's been sitting for a while.
Whether it's a single afternoon repair or a project that runs several days, the approach is the same — a clear scope, an agreed price, and work done properly the first time.

Common Questions From South Side Homeowners
- Which parts of Indianapolis do you cover?
- We work the south side of Indianapolis and the areas adjoining Johnson County. We don't cover the entire city, so it's worth sending your address with your request so we can confirm before scheduling.
- Can you handle a bigger improvement project, not just repairs?
- Yes. Flooring through several rooms, an interior repaint, multiple door replacements, or a bathroom vanity and fixture refresh are all normal projects for us alongside smaller repairs.
- Do you work with landlords and rental owners?
- Regularly. Residential turnover work — repairs, paint, flooring, fixture and appliance replacement — is a steady part of our schedule.
- Is Cotterman Home Services insured?
- Yes, and we're locally owned. We aren't a licensed trade contractor, so if a job needs a licensed electrician or plumber we'll say so rather than work around it.
