About

Need a hand around the house? I'm your guy! I'm a reliable, friendly, and detail-oriented individual with a knack for fixing, assembling, and improving things. My passion for woodworking and cabinetmaking (longtime hobbies of mine) means I have a keen eye for quality craftsmanship and a problem-solver's mindset. Whether it is a wobbly chair, a picture that needs hanging, flat-pack furniture that's defeating you, or a custom woodworking project you've been dreaming of, I'm here to help you get it done efficiently and to a high standard. I come equipped with my own tools, a can-do attitude, and a commitment to leaving your space better than I found it. Let's chat about your project.

Very easy process all the way through. Less than 24 hours after connecting with Gary Zeal, my new mail box is installed and he also fixed a door of mine that was sticking, and all at a reasonable price. Nice guy. Responsive. Flexible. On Time. Made it all easy.

Gary very quickly responded to my request for quote and provided several detailed options, including a pvc replacement option which was better than the wood replacement I originally wanted. He came out several days later and got the old trim removed and the new stuff installed very quickly and it looks great. Would definitely hire again for any future projects.

Details: Casing • I'm flexible • This is just an installation job - no design needed • As recommended by carpenter • 0 - 40 ft • I would like it painted

The installation of new blinds for our six living room windows was handled with great professionalism. The project was completed faster than I expected, and the results look fantastic. Excellent work all around!

Details: Shades • Replacement • 6 - 10 windows • Fabric • Yes, I'll purchase the window treatments

Thank you very much, Victoria, for trusting me with the installation of your new blinds and your 5-star review. I think the blinds look great and think it's neat that they are remote-controlled via a remote or an app.
