I specialize in small home renovations and projects. My main areas of work are Hvac and drywall, however I have been in the trades for 4 and a half years now so whatever the task may be I can get it done. Unlike large corporations I take immense pride in my work and strive for perfection. Price is always negotiable as this is not my main source of income.

"We had Corbin over to give us an estimate on some general home maintenance items, & found out he could lay a foundation for & assemble the shed we had purchased. We also asked him to shingle the roof for us & a couple other projects we wanted to complete. He suggestions, quality of work & productivity is great. We will most likely as for his help in the near future. Definitely five stars+!"

Central a/c installations FAQs

If you’re replacing an old AC system with a new unit, you can usually clean and repair the old ductwork without having to conduct a full replacement. Cleaning HVAC ducts typically costs around $400, while repairs range from $200 to $1,000. In contrast, installing new ductwork can range from $1,000 to $5,000, making it far more costly than cleaning or fixing existing ducts. HVAC installation costs an average of $7,000 to replace a full system, so staying on top of maintenance and repairs is important.

AC cost efficiency depends on the size of your space and your long-term plans for your home. If you only need to cool a small area, a portable AC unit has a low upfront cost. Heat pumps are typically the most cost-effective option if you want to cool an entire home or improve the resale value. They provide strong cooling while being energy-efficient, which saves you money on your utility bills compared to most other AC types.

Installing a central AC unit typically takes four to eight hours if your home already has ductwork in place. However, if new ductwork needs to be installed, this can add another one to two days of labor to your project.
