Introduction

My farmer granddad and electrician father taught me that a job worth doing is worth doing right. I want to help you get your projects done as beautifully and efficiently as possible. I will work for you like I am working on my own home. Thanks for reaching out!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I estimate about how long each job will take. I do a minimum trip and labor charge of $100, to cover my travel time and wear and tear on my vehicle to get to your location.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Please send applicable photos of the work that needs to be done, and all pertinent information. I try to reach out promptly and find out if it’s something I need to come out and give a quote for, or if it’s a more straightforward job, I set up a time to come out and get it done!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I’ve been fixing things almost as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, where there are constantly things to be repaired, from fences to barns to vehicles. My dad was a jack of all trades, and passed along to me his ability to troubleshoot and problem-solve in real time.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Over the years growing up on a farm, fixing my own house as a homeowner, and working for various construction and handyman companies, I've picked up a lot of random knowledge and a pretty good eye for troubleshooting problems and figuring out how to fix them!

What types of customers have you worked with?

I’ve worked with mainly residential folks on house projects of all kinds!

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I am particularly proud of a recent project where I had to do several different small projects in one day, including fixing a leaking toilet, straightening a door, cleaning out gutters, and installing new screens. I got everything done in about 8 hours! There's nothing like the feeling of a job well done!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

We all have a lot of irons in the fire. We want to get back with you and help you out with your project, so have a little patience and give us an hour or two before reaching out to the next provider.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Pictures are SUPER helpful. Fill in as many details as possible. Remember, you're the homeowner. You know a lot of things about your project that we don't. Fill us in on anything you think we might need to know. Better too much information than not enough!
