About The
Hoboken Dad
Every apartment in Hoboken deserves to feel like home — and most people moving in just need a reliable set of skilled hands and a face they can trust. The Hoboken Dad is exactly that: background-checked, fully insured, and built from nearly 35 years of real trade experience.
From first apartments to senior living, from move-in day chaos to the gallery wall that's been on your Pinterest board for two years — Dad handles it. No anonymous gig workers. No hourly rate surprises. Just someone who does the job right and leaves the place better than he found it.
What Dad Handles
Every job done right.
Upfront pricing. No surprises.
From move-in day chaos to that shelf that's been leaning since November — the Hoboken Dad has seen it all. Prices below are for labor only; materials like mounts and hardware are billed separately or picked up for you. Nearly 27 years of experience means he already knows the fix.
Kickoff special: $99 service minimum per visit.
A few things Dad doesn't take on — yet
- Running or moving electrical (boxes or wiring)
- Brick, stone, and masonry surfaces cannot be drilled into or used as a mounting anchor.
Not sure if your project fits? Ask anyway — Dad will always find a way to help, or point you to a trusted pro who can.
