About

I grew up in the carpentry and cabinet business and have spent over 25 years working with wood, furniture, and home repairs. Today, I focus on complete home maintenance and handyman services, including furniture assembly, TV mounting, closet and shelving installation, and appliance installation. As a one-person business, I’m on every job myself, and I treat your home with the same care and respect as my own. I’m flexible with scheduling because I understand how valuable your time is. My goal is simple: to leave you with quality work, a smooth experience, and a genuine sense of satisfaction. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d be happy to help with your next project.

Hired on Thumbtack

I can't wait to hire him again. I bought a hulking 65" TV that Amazon was going to charge me to unpack, put on its stand, and take away the old TV. Nope! Amazon delivers, unpacks, and, if it's on a stand, puts it on the table. Amazon refunded the delivery fee and left me with a crated TV and an old one on a stand. I am a seriously old person. I needed help. Ron rescued me- he had dismantled the old TV, assembled the new TV, put it on the old TV mount, which was better quality than the one that came with it, tested it, and whisked away boxes, cables, and that old TV. All that and a pleasant discussion about what he thought was the best approach and how he would approach the project. All that in under an hour. I'm looking forward to welcoming his obvious skill, professionalism, and knowledge back to put together furniture I've ordered.

Details: Not sure, need professional's help to determine • TV larger than 60 inches • Yes, there’s an electrical outlet nearby • No, I don’t need to conceal cables and wires • Yes, I already have a mount or stand • As recommended by the professional • None

I needed my TV mounted urgently, Ron got back to me within the hour, told me the price and came through the next day to mount it, it's been a few days since then and it's holding up really well, i'm able to move it with no issue and i'm able to lay comfortably in my bed while watching tv or gaming.
