About

With over 30 years in business as a one‑man pro, my focus is simple: quality work you can rely on. I don’t cut corners, even when it costs more or takes longer. Whether I’m handling handyman repairs, plumbing, tile, carpentry, or interior and exterior projects, I treat your home like my own. You might find cheaper options, but I take the time to do it right and make sure you’re truly satisfied before I call the job finished. If you’re looking for a skilled, dependable professional who shows up, communicates clearly, and stands behind the work, I’d be glad to help with your next project.

Martin was great. I needed a fast fix for a vacation rental property and he responded right away and the issue was fixed within hours of sending out the request for help. He is very professional looking which is great for when I need contractors to interface with my guests. I will definitely use him again in the future!

Martin was prompt, responsive, and his work product was excellent. He installed maple plank flooring in three of my rooms and they look fabulous in spite of some tricky problems, such as rooms that weren't quite square and uneven subflooring. He delivered as promised, and I'll happily hire him again!

very nice man. came to do the work within a week. that's the 2 stars. but the work was awful. the fence he partially installed was uneven, tilting, nails jutting out everywhere, completely chaotic 2x4 and nail alignment. Just no. he also asked that I get all the materials brought to the house, and stain them myself. huge pain. I told him not to finish, after getting other professional opinions and learning that it was not built to code, on top of being sloppy. and he still wants to be paid for his time. even though all my materials are now trash, and I'll have to pay someone to take this down and build a new fence.
