There are plenty of guys out there calling themselves “Handyman” but do they know what they are doing?
I’ve always hated to be labeled “Handyman” even tho I am a handy man. I have been a professional involved in the home building, home remodeling and home repair industry practically my whole life. Born and raised on a 7 acre mini farm in Millcreek, I was formerly a licensed building contractor in Florida and have spent my whole life designing, building, remodeling and repairing residential homes. ( I use to specialize in bathroom and kitchen remodeling.)
Now, being semi retired, I prefer small home repair jobs that can be completed in just a couple hours – unless you don’t mind the job dragging out for a while. ( I don’t have a truck to haul materials anymore either.)
If you need a handyman/contractor/serviceman for any kind of home repair problem, call me, and if know I can fix it, you’ll save a lot vs calling most any other contractor. If, during the call, I ‘m not sure if I can handle the problem, I may be willing to check it out for you for free with the understanding that you hire me if I determine I am able to do it.
Some Home Handyman Services might include:
Adjust doors and cabinets, re-caulk bathtubs, replace window ropes, hang pictures, assemble furniture, hang shelves, small paint or wallpaper jobs, etc. You’ll be amazed at how well I clean up dirty-grungy bathtubs.
.. Sorry, NO Roofs, Gutters, Concrete or Work over 8’…
Plumbing Installations & Repairs
Are you looking for someone to fix leaky faucet? – Is your toilet always running? Need someone to fix a water leak?
Most leaky faucets can be fixed by replacing the washers or seats. Running toilets can usually be fixed for around $45 – $65 including parts.
I do have a minimum charge of $45.00 but that is NOT a service call fee, it is part of my hourly rate of $50.00/hr for plumbing. (Compare that to minimum $85.00 fee most plumbers charge)

Electrical Installations & Repairs
Tho I’m not a licensed electrician, I did wire many log homes when I was building houses in Florida in the 70’s. I learned a lot from the licensed electritian who oversaw our installations. I can repair loose or add receptacles & switches. I can change light fixtures or add them. I can check out electrical problems, etc. I can add or replace fans. I can replace breakers. (Sorry, upgrading service panels is more than I want to do these days).

11/19/2012 – As I have had difficulty with “no show” handymen in the past (who never called back after missing the appt) I decided to check Angie’s List. Did receive response from two of the messages that I left. Bryan, who was the first to call back, agreed to give an estimate for the work. Met with him […]
