My Story

I actually spent the first 39 years of my life quite sure that I was NOT handy -- not handy AT ALL! Anything more involved than changing a tire, you could count me out. I was absolutely the kind of guy that would need to hire a handyman. And there were several things that I DID hire a handyman for over the years. So, I actually really do understand where you -- a person who may need the services of a handyman -- are coming from!

Then I took a job installing and maintaining displays in home improvement stores. And through my job I discovered something that actually really surprised me:  I AM handy! First, I fixed everything at my girlfriend's place that needed to be fixed. Then I built this awesome computer out of discarded components. I told my girlfriend, "Don't tell anyone about this! The last thing I need is everybody calling me to fix everything!"

She did such a marvelous job of keeping the "secret" that within a month I was suddenly the fix-it guy, and the computer guy, for my Mom, my sister, and all of my friends. I still had my jobs in the home improvement stores. But all my spare time was, "Hey Matt, could you take a look at my _____ ?"  (My girlfriend actually did me a huge favor, because I started really enjoying "everybody calling me to fix everything"! So thank you, Pamela!)

That went on for about 12 years.  And then one day I thought, "Gee, do you suppose I could actually make a living doing this?" Believe it or not, that had never really occurred to me, because I never charged my friends or my family a dime.

But, you know what? I did get something out of all that hard work. Between all the projects I did for friends and family, and all the different product lines I learned about in my regular job, I became quite "well-rounded". I had become a multi-discipline, multi-trade, repair, installation, and maintenance specialist. (A Handyman!)

So I decided to set out on my own and start a handyman business. I decided to make a career out of what I enjoy so much that I did it for free, in my spare time, for 12 years. And, I gotta tell you, it's the best "job" I've ever had! I love working with my hands, I love fixing things, and I love helping people, so it really is a perfect fit for me. That's why I am a handyman service you can rely on.

Let me do for you what I love to do -- thus freeing you up to do the things important to you!
