About
I have 25 years of experience in construction and maintenance, ranging from high-end residential remodels to various commercial tenant improvement projects. Currently, I am a real estate house flipper, and I have previously worked as a building maintenance engineer for eight years and as a facility manager for five years. During this time, I managed 30 commercial buildings and apartment complexes, dealing with their unique and evolving challenges. My current focus is buying real estate, renovating houses, and reselling them on the market. In the meantime, I also provide maintenance and handyman services until my properties are sold or require my personal attention for repairs. I have been involved in the trades since I was 13 years old, starting by assisting my uncle with tools. Now, I work alongside my best friend, helping to run his construction business. I decided to venture into the handyman business to assist others, as my work has proven so rewarding in helping family and friends. I figured, why not put my skills to use professionally? Additionally, I once worked for a nonprofit youth agency, where I helped young people acquire the skills needed for success in their lives. I have a genuine desire to help others, and I appreciate you taking the time to read my message. I look forward to building a productive working relationship with you!

Brian replaced our old water heater and installed a new water softener for us. He was honest, responsive, and provided valuable suggestions both before and during the project. When we ran into an unexpected situation, Brian could have easily charged us more, but instead he went out of his way to find a solution that kept the project within our original budget. His integrity and professionalism really stood out. I highly recommend Brian!

Brian drove over at a moment's notice. I was worried about my water heater after it was acting up, thinking that the earthquakes affected it. He ran diagnostics efficiently and my water ran warmer than it has in years. Brian worked with integrity and provided ways to check annually on the system. Will recommend him to my friends and family without hesitation.
