The handyman who actually shows up
I've been working with my hands for over 25 years, and in that time, I've learned something important: most homeowners don't need the fanciest work—they need someone reliable.
I started out doing small repairs for friends and neighbors in Ottawa Carleton. Word spread, not because I was the cheapest or the fastest, but because I showed up when I said I would and did what I promised.
Over the years, I've built custom decks, installed high-end doors, finished basements, and created one-of-a-kind furniture. But I've also hung hundreds of pictures, fixed countless leaky faucets, and helped people check off their "someday" to-do lists.
These days, I focus on smaller projects and maintenance work. Why? Because I value my time and flexibility, and I've found that homeowners in Lanark County and West Ottawa desperately need someone who can handle the jobs that big contractors won't touch.
If I say I'll be there Tuesday at 9am, I'll be there. No ghosting, no excuses.
I charge by the hour or by the project. No hidden fees, no surprise charges.
I take pride in doing things right the first time. If it's not up to my standards, it's not done.
I respond to emails and texts promptly. You'll always know what's happening with your project.
From custom carpentry to everyday repairs, I've seen it all. I know how to solve problems, work around constraints, and deliver results that last.
When you hire me, here's what you can expect:
It sounds simple, but in this industry, it's rare. That's why my clients keep coming back.
I've done the big renovations. I've managed multi-week projects. And I've learned that what I really enjoy—and what homeowners really need—is someone who can handle the smaller stuff with the same level of professionalism.
The door that sticks. The fence post that's rotting. The "honey-do" list that's been sitting on the fridge for six months. These aren't glamorous projects, but they make a real difference in how you live in your home.
By focusing on smaller jobs, I can give each project the attention it deserves, keep my schedule flexible, and maintain the quality that I'm known for.
Here is a laundry-list of my handyman skillsets:
If you don't see what you need in this list, drop me a text or send a request and let's discuss posibilities.
A jack of all trades - a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.
Whether you need a quick repair or a custom build, I'd love to hear about your project.
