About

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 responsiveness throughout the whole process was impeccable. He let me know when he was on the way and arrived exactly when he said he would. He was very precise in his measurements and even added washers to stabilize my tv. Robert will forever be my go to guy if I need maintenance help!

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.
