Hi, I’m Lui! I’m a one-person handyman with over 8 years of construction experience, helping homeowners with a wide range of projects.
My skills include:
- Interior and exterior painting
- Drywall repair and texture
- Basic electrical and plumbing
- Framing and carpentry
- Furniture and fixture assembly, hardware installs, and more
Because I work solo, you’ll always know who’s in your home and who’s responsible for the quality of the work. I focus on clear communication, reliable scheduling, and getting the job done right the first time.
If you have a project in mind, send me a message and we can talk through the details and next steps.

Hands down, Lui is the best you can ask for! He can fix anything and is extremely professional and experienced. He also is creative and does beautiful craftsmanship. He did a wainscot wall for us that was absolutely gorgeous. Can’t recommend enough!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before anything I ask the customer what they are looking to get done. Once I know exactly what they need I explain how I would do it and provide them with an estimate.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always liked learning new skills, while working as a painter for over 5 years i realized i wanted to do more than just paint so I decided to get into remodeling. That’s where I seen the various jobs that I could learn to do.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
As everything else in this country many people go based of the reviews, they always say how good or how bad someone or something really is!
