About
With over 31 years of hands-on experience fixing problems in homes, I bring a practical, no-nonsense approach to every job. As a one-person handyman service, you work directly with me from start to finish, so communication is clear and the quality is consistent. I’ve completed many fix-and-flips and property rehabs, and I’m experienced in a wide range of home improvements, including general handyman work, fan installation, switch and outlet installation, door repair, and garbage disposal repair. I’m not a licensed contractor, but I am a very good handyman who takes pride in professionalism, reliability, and doing the job right the first time. If you’re looking for a dependable pro to take care of your home, reach out and let’s talk about your project.

Fred tackled a project that we had put off - replacing a ceiling fan on a HIGH ceiling! Fred stuck with this project until the fan was up and running. He left the area clean after the work was done. So we now have a new, updated ceiling fan in our great room.

Details: Yes, the location has an existing fan • Ceiling • 10 - 14 feet (high ceiling)
