I enjoy taking the stress out of peoples lives by solving day to day issues that pop up around the home. Especially clients who have families to take care of or those who may not have family close by to help out. Putting together DIY furniture, repairing torn window screens, changing door knobs, and many other seemingly minor tasks that end up taking longer than planned or may be more difficult than expected are right up my alley.
I provide quality work and always explain my work thoroughly. Your happiness is what makes this job worth the time and energy. I’m not happy until you are happy.
What really makes my job exciting is when the customer gets a big smile on his or her face when the job is complete. I personally enjoy interacting with the customer as well to really make their house a home. Everybody wants to have “new” without the frustration.
Word of mouth is the best advertisement.

Robert hung several wall hangings for us. He was prompt, professional and did a great job. Would highly recommend him and we will use him again.
Bob came to hang some pictures in my new place which has some irregular dimensions and walls. He did a great job and was really personable. I would highly recommend his work and will be using his services again.

We worked with Bob to hang large paper lanterns at the Ithaca Farmer’s Market for our wedding - not only was he beyond responsive and professional, the quality of his work truly blew us away and made our wedding a night to remember. He was just able to get the job done, no fuss and no drama. He saved us so much stress! 100/10 experience!

Bob was fantastic to work with—professional, punctual, and incredibly attentive throughout. The quality of his work was excellent, and we especially appreciated how thoughtful and careful he was with our home, making sure furniture was moved and protected as needed. He clearly takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about providing great service. We would highly recommend him!

Robert did us a huge favor by coming out to an area that he normally doesn't cover. He was professional efficient, and, executed the job to perfection. He put together 5 pieces of furniture for us and put up some shevling. Would 10/10 hire again.

FAQs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I subscribe to MANY trade magazines so I can stay up-to-date on the newest technologies, and processes for making your home your palace!
What types of customers have you worked with?
I am most commonly hired by customers who prefer to maintain their own properties, but need periodic assistance. I also program, repair and perform routine maintenance on irrigation systems for regular customers. I am a very knowledgeable person so I will also do special requests if I have the ability to do so. I only ask that customers ask, no matter the task. And if it is outside of my comfort zone, I will get the right person for you. My job is to make the maintenance of your home as streamlined as possible.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Choose your contractor based on experience and skill. Choosing based on price alone may only get mediocre service results costing you more in the long run. Your service provider should have a keen eye as well, to be able to point out concerns you may not be aware of. Also hire somebody who really cares about your property in its entirety, not just how much money they can make on one portion of your property.
