About

I’m a reliable handyman with 25+ years of experience and a wide range of skills to handle most home repairs and projects. I can help with furniture assembly, painting (interior and exterior), deck or porch repairs, TV mounting, pressure washing, and more. I’m also an expert lawn care professional and handle shrub trimming and removal, lawn mowing, and full property cleanups. For larger jobs or junk removal, I use my dump trailer and New Holland skid steer to get it done efficiently. As a small business, you’ll always work directly with me. I take pride in professional-quality work at a reasonable rate, and ensure you are completely satisfied before leaving the job site. Reach out today to tell me what you need help with.
