I’m a detail‑oriented painter and handyman with years of hands‑on experience in the skilled trades. I help homeowners and businesses tackle a wide range of projects, from interior painting, drywall, and trim work to carpentry, tile, flooring, TV mounting, furniture assembly, and more.
I’ve learned from some of the most experienced professionals in the industry and have even built sets for “Game of Thrones” and interior sets for the West Elm photo studio. After working with local licensed painting and general contractors, I started my own one‑person business so I can focus on quality and personal service.
My motto is simple: experience, skill, and attention to detail, with a commitment to getting it done right the first time. I’d be happy to help you check off your to‑do list.

He repaired a wall and painted the room. What I like the most about Maxim was that he was prompt and professional and did a very thorough job. Sure, it took a little longer than someone else might have, but the results speak for themselves. I would definitely hire him again..

Max was quick to respond if you had questions and works at a great pricing per hour as well. The quality of work he provided was excellent. We had to have drywall installed next to shower walls and they looked great once he was done. Highly recommended and would hire again if the need arises.
