Introduction: I have a very wide range of skills. Eight years with a plumbing company. An engineering degree from UT Austin. Eleven years designing and building military jet planes. Now 2 years helping Austin customers with handyman jobs and small moving/hauling jobs with my pickup truck. Each job is different. Moving, electrical, plumbing, home repair, furniture assembly.. That's more interesting than doing the same job every day. And I like meeting so many different people and helping them out.

Frank is a kind, accommodating, principled and honest man. He's helped me out of more than one moving-jam, often on short notice (and I hope not too much inconvenience to him). I've sought his help three times the past few months (every time I needed large furniture moved): once, moving furniture between two properties; another time, doing the same except I was out of state so he coordinated with my friends; and, most recently, moving furniture into the homes of refugee families. Frank has, without exception, shown himself to be completely dependable and trustworthy, and additionally just a good person to be around. For a university student like me, working with someone of his caliber is the best option out there. I can't recommend his services enough.

Frank has helped me out multiple times picking up furniture, appliances, and building supplies. He is easy to get a hold of, shows up on time, is friendly, and is careful with whatever he's moving. I really appreciate that he's prepared with the right equipment to protect the items being transported and takes the time to do it right. I will continue to count on Frank when I need to pick up large items around town.

Frank is a professional, a problem solver, and works with high integrity. Frank is reliable. He is on time, and communicating the project status. He helped me move large possessions without a hitch, problem solving and always a positive, professional mover. I happily recommend Frank as a trusted resource! You can count on Frank to help your project be successful.

Frank and his truck have helped me out twice so far-- once with a small in-town move and once with a sofa delivery from San Marcos to Austin (he also took my existing couch and loveseat away to Goodwill). Very communicative about scheduling, very timely, and very competitive and reasonable rates. If I ever have something that requires a truck bed, he is the first person I contact!

Frank is super awesome to work with. I've used him for multiple moves now. He always shows up on time, takes pictures of the picked up or delivered items, and texts me updates along the way. I've recommended him to a few friends and will use him again in the near future.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Between $25/hr and $45/hr based on the project, tools and skills needed. I can give a fixed amount for larger jobs too if hourly is not preferred. A small furniture move could be as low as $35. If a small plumbing or electrical fix takes me ten minutes, I will only charge $35 flat.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Talk through or walk through the job. Discuss needs, options, time frame and budget they are working with. Most small jobs I give a solid estimate rather than hourly. I will let them know if I can do the job alone to save money or if I need a helper. If I need a helper, I have a few I can count on. If a job is above my skill level I will be honest and suggest they hire someone else. I don't bid on jobs I don't know how to do.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Years of plumbing training with my dads plumbing company. A mechanical engineering degree from UT Austin. Lots of on the job training as a handyman for two years now. I worked for moving companies and learned the best tools and methods to move furniture efficiently and with no damage (Three moving companies still hire me now and then when they need extra part-time help)
