🚫 Important Note: I am not a handyman. I specialize exclusively in Remodeling, Water Damage, Drywall, and Plaster Repair with over 37 years of hands-on experience - I am no longer taking repairs over 10’ in height. ❌ I do not paint or work with contractors, property management companies / landlords or realtors -- I strictly work for the property owner. 🔧 While I don’t work with contractors, property management companies / landlords or realtors, I have a strong network in the home improvement industry. If your project involves roofing, remodeling, or restoration, I can get you taken care of. 💬 I believe in transparency and integrity. If I can't complete your project, you won’t be charged—period. I’m here to help, not waste your time. 📅 I’m typically booked a few weeks out, but I’ll do my best to accommodate emergencies and urgent repairs. 📱 The fastest way to reach me is by sending a text through Thumbtack—I respond promptly.

J did an amazing job. He was super professional, unlike previous contractors in the past. Realistically I wish I could select all the categories because the work quality was great, even though something came up during the original date he was scheduled to work, but he did come through and was responsive and kept in touch. He was the cheapest out of all the contractors I called. We had to cut a hole in my ceiling because of a drain that leaked and he came and repaired the drywall all in one day and matched the texture. Truly deserves more than 5 stars.

Thank you so much for the kind words and detailed feedback! I truly appreciate you recognizing the effort I put into every job. It was a pleasure helping you out, and I’m glad I could get everything taken care of quickly and to your satisfaction. If you ever need drywall or plaster repair again—or know someone who does—I’m just a message away. Thanks again for trusting me with your home!
