grow a set and do it yourself.
just remember to turn off breakers before electrical work.

Angies List
But a non-dick answer is you can do these 3 yourself.
Fixing leaky pipe
- Ruff up the leak w/sandpaper and seal with glue. Then wrap with Gorilla Tape
Replacing "hot" light switch
- Kill the power. Get the same switch from hardware store. Connect the wires as they were on the other one.
Patching/Caulking stucco.
- Fill the gap with putty. Let it dry. Paint over it with the color of the stucco.

Actually, learning to do some remedial stuff around the house while also saving a shite ton on labor costs is very helpful.
Worst case scenario is you fail o do a good job and have to hire a handyman you already plan on hiring to do the work for you.
There are few if any manual jobs that this board or the OB will not have a relative expert to provide guidance.

thanks for the lesson pops. However I am in the process of selling a house and these repairs have been requested by the buyer to be done by a professional along with receipt thereof.
Thanks for the character lesson, but had I needed it I would've asked. Not going to risk f*cking something up in the house with my amateur repairs when a sale depends on it being done right.

angie's list costs money. I figured I would try here first before spending money on a service that I've never used.

my apologies....
try this Yellow Pages: Handyman Services
Since surely the buyer will want licensed professionals.

This just reeks of something a do-nothing, a-hole, sarcastic d-bag would post. This place has plenty of these...so go a different direction. YOU sold the house (single wide?) so spend a couple of bucks and get some Angie...At least they have a track record.
PS I sincerely hope you get ripped off. No offense.
