About

I have always been a fixer. I love restoring things back to working order whether it's a sweaking door, installing replacement appliances,or assembly of furniture. I am skilled at installing smart home devices and security devices. My dad started me on this path when I was 6 years old teaching me most of the trades. I am committed to quality work and make every effort to please my customers.

Calvin was a godsend for our custom kitchen needs. He analyzed our situation of kitchen repairs and installations and provided us wise recommendations and timely resolutions. Bottom line: Calvin listened to us and completed the work with great quality. Calvin has a storied history working with process engineers. He also appreciates resourcefulness and ingenuity to think outside the box. He is a true problem solver who can fix and install a myriad of essential household items. Highly recommended!

I can’t say enough good things about Calvin. He was SO knowledgeable and helpful. I thought I need to outlets replaced. But he looked into it and found that I had a different (and simpler) problem. He fixed the issue, charged what he quoted me, taught me something about my home, and was just so pleasant.

Details: Yes, there is existing wiring • Replace switch or outlet • 2 switches or outlets • Rooms with water access, like the kitchen • Rooms without water access, like a bedroom • Drywall • House
