About
I bring decades of hands-on home improvement experience and have proudly run my own one-person handyman business for the past 6 years. I handle a wide range of projects, including carpentry, appliance repairs,tiling, drywall repair and texturing, plumbing (including emergency and drain repairs), minor electrical work, lighting and fan installations, and picture or art hanging.
I believe in treating people and their homes with respect, and I stand behind the quality of my work.
To keep your project efficient and affordable, I usually ask for a brief phone conversation before scheduling. This helps me arrive with the right tools and materials so I can get the job done in one visit and save you time and money.
Thank you for your consideration—I look forward to helping with your next project.

I’m so glad I found Donnie to help with my clogged kitchen drain. I had tried diagnosing the problem myself by taking apart the garbage disposal and P-trap, but both were fairly clean. At that point, I knew it was time to call a professional, and I’m soooo glad I did.
Donnie arrived with a 25-foot drain snake and carefully worked through the blockage, pulling out grease that had built up deep inside the drain line. This was definitely not a job I could have handled myself without risking damage to the pipes or flooding the house.
He also noticed that my drain pipe was too long and had not been installed properly, so he took the time to reinstall my garbage disposal correctly.
On top of that, Donnie explained what I should avoid putting down the drain to help prevent future clogs. His pricing was very reasonable, and he never tried to upsell me on anything.
I only wish more handymen were as skilled, honest, and helpful as Donnie.
Do yourself a favor and hire Donnie for your job!

Great experience! He installed a retractable hose reel on a 4x4 post for us and did an excellent job. The post is sturdy, straight, and looks great. He was professional, efficient, and easy to communicate with throughout the project. Very happy with the result and would definitely hire him again.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am honest and transparent with pricing. I stick with my original estimate unless there are some unusual things that couldn't be seen.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I normally like to schedule a phone call to ask questions about a project so that I can give an accurate estimate of labor costs and tools and materials that I may need. A phone consultation is much quicker than texting back and forth and likely can save you money by increasing the chance that i have the right tools and materials for the job.Also having an accurate description and photos helps immensely.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
40 years of new construction. remodeling, home repairs,appliance installations and repairs.
