Introduction

Hi, I’m a stay-at-home dad turned handyman with years of hands-on experience keeping homes running smoothly. From assembling furniture and toys to fixing what’s broken, hanging pictures, painting, tiling and setting up tech, I’ve done it all—and I actually enjoy the work. I know how busy life can get, and my goal is to take those lingering tasks off your plate so you can enjoy your space without the stress. I take pride in doing the job right the first time, leaving no mess and no missing pieces. Reliable, friendly, and detail-oriented—you can count on me to treat your home with the same care I give my own.

Rich hung two curtain rods for me. They were wood rods, and the brackets were more complicated than the normal metal rods that look like wood. He did an amazing job taking his time to make sure that they were perfect!!!! I am really happy that he did such an amazing job. I am ordering another rod, and he will be the one I call for installation for sure. Rich thanks again so much.

Rich helped us get ready for a bathroom remodel project, removing fixtures and baseboards so we can get busy with the tile and wallpaper. He was very communicative before around details, was on time, and did a great job. Well def have Rich back when it’s time to install the new vanity!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have a 1 hour minimum plus any materials I have to provide.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I’ve always been the go-to person for fixing things—whether it’s assembling furniture, troubleshooting IT issues, or handling home repairs. As a stay-at-home dad, I’ve spent years honing these skills, making sure everything in our home runs smoothly. Now, I’m excited to take that experience beyond my own four walls and help others with their projects. If you need something done, chances are I’ve tackled it before and can get it handled quickly and efficiently.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I refurnished a kids room over spring break so they could come home to a nice surprise.
