About
(I DO NOT do home inspections) Hey there! Nice to meet you! I am Jerry, owner and CEO of “The Retied Engineer - Your Handyman For Hire LLC”! I have been in systems engineering for 33 years. I started my Handyman business a year and a half ago, but I’ve been doing handyman stuff for a long time and do various work for not just doors and dryer vent cleaning and furniture assembly alone. I also do network wiring network servers home networks Ring door, cam assembly and set up. Antenna work, such as installing and setting up StarLink as well outside antennas for over “over the air TV”. I also set up HAM Radio Shacks and repair old game consoles! I am also a member of the United Handyman Association. I am a veteran and this is a veteran owned business. I also give discounts to veterans for service.

Jerry assisted me in dismantling a greenhouse to transport from a friend's residence to my own. He came on time, ready to work, and had all of the proper tools needed to get the job done. He was efficient, organized and neat with his work. All parts were placed in groups to keep them properly together, and the hardware was kept organized for safe transportation where we were able to re-assemble it back to working order. I highly recommend Jerry for any of your handyman projects. He will spend the time to do the job right and with the greatest amount of care and quality, too.
