Russian River Handyman

Company Overview

At just eight years old, I started my path in construction, remodeling, and handyman work. With her real estate and contractor's license, my grandmother imparted valuable skills such as drywall, painting, flooring, and window installation. She bought house components at auctions, and we would move them to her properties, assemble them, and renovate them for rental income. By the end of high school, I had participated in remodeling and constructing around 40 homes. I spent some time working for another contractor until I decided to return to Guerneville and launch my own business, delivering honest and quality services to my clients.

I launched my own business about twelve years back. I previously worked for family members who needed help with their home renovations or builds. When I turned 17, I worked for a contractor for three to four years, remodeling and building homes, even constructing his house with him. Since then, I have explored various trades across different industries. I worked in the carpenter's union and contributed to the Graton Rancheria Casino. Yes, I know where the vault is! More recently, I have collaborated with contractor friends on and off for the past ten years and established a cooperative of workers. I volunteered with Daily Acts, Clean River Alliance (now Russian River Keeper), and dedicated a month post-flood to cleaning garages. I volunteered during the fires and was able to protect a friend's house from being destroyed. I also assisted in constructing homes for the homeless, and they found shelter. Currently, I aim to assist people in finishing their honey-do lists and enjoy their homes while collaborating with good people.

I have been in the trades for about 30 years. I began working on homes at the age of eight and learned a great deal from my grandparents. My family has a significant number of contractors, and growing up, I was always fixing or building something, often including my own room. We moved frequently, so as the older brother, I often ended up with the less desirable rooms, which I would remodel. I consistently helped my mom improve the rest of the house and property as well.
