About

I’m a local handyman with 15 years of experience. My specialities include painting/staining, fence building and repair, exterior wood decay and rot repair, deck repair, simple custom carpentry, furniture assembly, & more. If you are seeking quick price-shopping, and prioritize cost over craftsmanship, I am probably not a good fit for you. I am ethically oriented. I show up when I say I'm going to, stick to my word, and love what I do. Whether it’s a one or fourteen day project, I bring solid craftsmanship, clear communication, and respect for your space.

I’m happy that I was able to find someone like this gentleman to install my new mailbox and stand. I only needed to order the supplies from Home Depot so he could pick them up on the way to my property. Honest and helpful.
