About

I’m a reliable handyman with 20+ years of experience and a wide range of skills to handle most home repairs and projects. I can help with furniture assembly, interior and exterior painting, deck or porch repairs, TV mounting, pressure washing, play equipment assembly, junk removal, and more. I’m also an expert lawn care professional and handle shrub trimming and removal, lawn mowing and trimming, and full property cleanups. As a small, two-person business, you’ll always work directly with us. We take pride in professional-quality work at a reasonable rate, and we don’t leave until you’re completely satisfied with the job. Tell me what you need help with, and I’ll get back to you promptly to discuss your project and provide a fair estimate.

Hired on Thumbtack

My experience with Monte and his son was very positive. They completed 2 lists of ‘to-dos’ across almost 3 days and were punctual and professional and got the job done. They were a pleasure to work with and would definitely hire again.
