Chris Nowell is that rare contractor— he costs out his jobs fairly, arrives on time, finishes the job when he says he will, and works hard. Incredibly tough to find all of that in one package. Work with enough shoddy contractors and it’s plain to see that Chris’s excellence stands out.
Although his business is listed in the handyman category, Chris’s skills go far beyond that. He’s a licensed electrician, a licensed plumber, and a general contractor. In fact, there aren’t many jobs he can’t do. Chris pays meticulous attention to detail and is experienced enough to address any unforeseen repair that might crop up in a given job. The fact that he has been in business for nearly 15 years attests to that.
Beyond Chris’s diverse skill set, he is straight-up honest— and honorable. Unlike many contractors in the area, he actually has good manners, will respect you and your property, and is true to his word.
No sense in working your way through a half-dozen reviews and dialing around for estimates. Why would you when you could hire The Patriot Handyman? In my four decades as a homeowner and landlord I’ve seen more mediocre handymen than I can count. But Chirs Nowell is aces. You’d be a fool not to hire him.

We explained what we needed done and he did a fantastic job. He left the work site clean. I am considering other projects around the house for him. I recommend him.

Chris responded promptly with a good rate. He scheduled the install within a few days that was convenient with my schedule and arrived on time and completed the job that day. Chris was very professional, neat work and left the area very clean when finished. My wife and I were happy with the work and will definitely recommend and use Chris again.

Chris is awesome. He’s very easy to work with and brings simple and meaningful solutions for our specific problem areas. Our main floor bathroom came out great and he’s going to start our next project in the coming weeks, another bathroom.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is based off the materials and job needs. I compare pricing online to make sure I am not overpriced and can be competitive.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
In home estimates are free. I like to talk through the project and make sure we both understand what you want done.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I worked for a hospital for over 15 years as lead engineer. Learned most of my skills on the job and before hand helping family with home repairs.
