Picture of Mary

      Mary Kintner is the sole proprietor of Ms. Fix-It Home Maintenance, and she has been serving the homeowners and property managers of Baltimore, MD since 1989.

IMPORTANT CHANGE OF STATUS: She is currently, in 2018, NOT licensed, NOT insured. She is essentially winding down a long career, and headed for retirement.

Mary grew up on a farm, learning about self-reliance; you would have found her weeding the garden for hours on end! Or tagging behind her five elder siblings, who she adored and emulated. AND riding her bicycle all over Cecil County. The public schools were excellent, and provided a stable, predictable environment as shelter, from the (euphemism) chaos at home. She was one of two valedictorians from the 1982 class of Perryville High School. She has a BA in Small Business Management from UMBC.    She completed McGraw-Hill's Basic Electrician Course, has taken Welding at Community College of Baltimore County.   Mary learned stained glass repair at The Artists' Corner.   She has been a member of The Electric League of Maryland, "Patience and persistence" is her personal credo.

      Hourly rates vary, depending on the skill level and hazards of the job. MOST JOBS ONLY $40/hr. With a two hour minimum. LADDER WORK between 8ft to 32ft = $80/hr. CALL OR TEXT PLEASE: 410-433-7975. SMALL JOBS ONLY. I generally don't give free estimates because my jobs are so easy that it's more efficient to take some tools and just do the job.

What Sorts Of Repairs Does Ms. Fix-It Do?

Ms. Fix-It loves performing service calls--stuff like repairing leaky faucets, running toilets, broken light fixtures, broken receptacles or wall switches, stuck or broken windows or doors, broken glass, clogged gutters, jammed garbage disposals. She SPECIALIZES IN SMALL JOBS. Mary will assemble your IKEA or mail-order furniture in your home.

Are you a property manager who occasionally needs the services of a skilled handyman? Maybe your regular handyman doesn't know how to refinish an old porcelain sink, or hang a door just right... Last minute apt. turnover...punch-out lists? Housing Code Violations? Call or text Mary Kintner, AKA,
Ms. Fix-It: 410-433-7975. I can sometimes offer discounts on rental property repairs, because I know you are working on a tight budget.
