My services are my time, tools, and knowledge. I make your property safer, functional, or less costly to maintain. It may not be as pretty or precise as you might expect from a master craftsmen.
I am a handyman, good at nearly everything yet a master of none.

If you have a question just ask. I tend to give informative answers or ideas. I believe in our stewardship of the land and preventative investments for helping create an affordable sustainable property in this changing
era we live in. Storms are stronger, winds are faster, technologies improve.

Dan is a fantastic communicator. I could always count on him to show up on the job as planned. Dan went above and beyond my expectations; offering his expertise and utilizing items I already had on hand to lower my bottom line. I'm grateful and happy to refer Dan to all my friends.
