About

I love working with people and making your space more comfortable and cozy. Everyone is different. Some just want an efficient, functional fix. Others prioritize attention to detail, like matching a stain as closely as possible, or exploring options for a new fixture to find one they really like.
I’m here to listen, follow your lead, and match the solution to your vision.
Here are some of the things I do:
General home repairs
Painting and staining
Electrical repair
Hanging pictures
Drywall and plaster repair
Furniture assembly and repair
Deck and fence repair
Plumbing repair
So why not hand-off that to-do list? Let’s take that weight off your shoulders and make your space truly yours.

Geoff was able to come out within a day and quickly address an issue we were having with a section of our kitchen cabinets pulling away from the wall.

I hired Geoff to set up our new commercial office. He was very responsive from start to finish which is important to me since I'm operating from a different state. He completed the job perfectly and in a timely manner. He went above and beyond. Will definitely hire Geoff if there is a need.

This was my first time using Thumbtack, and I am so happy that I went with Geoff. He was responsive, professional, and texted me the morning of to let me know his ETA, which I asked him to do and appreciated the effort. It took him no more than an hour and a half to put up my tv buffet. I would definitely recommend him to anyone, and will be using him in the future for all my future projects. He was able to fit me into his schedule, right before Christmas, was a delight to work with, and did not try to get over on me with pricing which I respected. Thank you again Geoff!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
When it comes to pricing, I’m all about giving you the best value and keeping things straightforward. I bring top-notch tools and skills to every job, and I keep my rates competitive—below the market average in Central Ohio. I’m efficient, hardworking, and resourceful. I’ll roll up my sleeves and find creative solutions to stay within your budget. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable and easy-to-work-with, I’m your guy.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new customer, I start by listening to their needs and discussing the project in detail. I confirm their goals and budget to ensure we’re aligned. Some customers just want a quick, efficient fix, while others are looking for someone who will attend to each detail, and incorporate their feedback every step of the way. Throughout the job, I keep communication open, addressing any concerns promptly. My goal is to deliver quality work and make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve been fixing things since I could hold a tool, starting with projects alongside my dad. After moving out, I got my own set of tools and never looked back, handling repairs and maintenance in apartments, houses, and offices. When we bought a rental property, we upgraded the kitchen, restored a greenhouse window, painted the interior, removed carpet, cleaned up the original hardwood floors, fixed and stained the deck, and repaired all sorts of things that had been neglected over the years. I did most of the work myself, bringing in friends to help with tasks I was still learning. This hands-on experience honed my skills and fueled my passion for solving problems and improving spaces.
