About
I’e been in construction for 35+ years. I’ve done it all with the exception of roofing and concrete slabs. I’ve been doing handyman work from word of mouth for the last 10 years and it has kept me steady, but that work is fading. I need a steady income and feel that this service will help. I recently bought a truck an now am able to process more jobs.
I outfit myself with a very extensive set of tools and will have the correct ones for your job. I’m able to pick up some materials. Every piece of art, wall I build, door I install is done with a level. That is important to me.
I am a very fair business man with fair pricing. With so many people under bidding jobs it makes it difficult to sustain a business that can evolve into a greater business. I will occasionally give my time away or offer a discount on the hours. So if you find my prices a little steep, remember this… you get what you pay for. Quality goes a long way and when the job is done correctly, you can rest knowing that it is installed or repaired to the best of my ability. I repair so many shortcut jobs it is sad. I don’t cut corners, why should you have to pay for someone to come back and do it right the second or even the 3rd time.
I guarantee the job is done 100% correctly, to your satisfaction, safely and in a timely manner.
Thank you for reading this far! :-)

Derek showed up early and creatively hung our oversized tapestry. He also took care of hanging other items and even repaired and painted over some holes in the dry wall and helped with some shelves. Thanks, Derek!
I’m very thankful for Derek. He was able to help me last minute with some frames and mirrors that needed to be hung. Come to find out he’s very knowledgeable in lots of handyman work. By the time he left he was able to take care of all my other little tasks I needed to get done around the house. I will definitely be contacting him again.

Derek did a great job hanging my curtains and even helped out with an extra project of installing towel hooks. He seemed very knowledgeable on construction and the how-to’s. Would highly recommend!
