About

I am your Gentleman Handyguy. I specialize in small jobs from two hours to two days. I enjoy fixing and repairing, but also improving your living areas such as finishing basements, adding shelving, taking down a wall, moving a door, installing electrical devices, hanging a fan or installing a disposal or faucet. I have 18 years as a retired aerospace engineer and handyman, from So. Africa to Arizona to the mountain communities of Utah, making life more beautiful for others. Calling me will make you very happy indeed!

Bruce was awesome!! It took us a few months to schedule a time to get the job done but he was very patient and easy to get a hold of. He did a wonderful job putting up the banister and it looks beautiful! Thank you, Bruce!

Bruce provided exceptional service. He offered other possibilities [What will work better] and found materials at lower cost. The quality of work performed was amazing and in a timely fashion.

The job is scheduled but hasn't been completed so it's too soon to rate. I can say that Bruce was quick to respond and come to give me an estimate. He is very pleasant and knowledgeable and I imagine he will do quality work.

Bruce put in new french doors for me in the back of my house. My other door was falling off its hinges. He did a really nice job. The doors look awesome and are working very well.
