Russian River Handyman

Company Overview

I began my journey in construction, remodeling, and handyman tasks at the young age of eight. Thanks to my grandmother's real estate and contractor's license, I learned vital skills including drywall, painting, flooring, and window installation. We would acquire house parts at auctions, transport them to her properties, and remodel 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. Prior to that, I worked for family members who had homes needing remodeling or construction. At the age of 17, I spent three to four years working for a contractor, remodeling and building homes, and I helped him build his own house. Since that time, I have ventured into numerous trades in various sectors. I worked in the carpenter's union and contributed to the Graton Rancheria Casino. And yes, I know the location of the vault! In recent years, I have worked intermittently with contractor friends and founded a worker cooperative. I have been involved with Daily Acts, Clean River Alliance (now Russian River Keeper), and volunteered for a month after the flood to help clean garages. During the fires, I volunteered and successfully saved a friend's home from burning. I contributed to building homes for the homeless, and they were no longer without shelter. My focus now is to help clients tackle their honey-do lists and create joy in their homes while working alongside trustworthy individuals.

I have spent roughly 30 years in the trades. I began working on homes at the age of eight and learned a great deal from my grandparents. Having a family full of contractors, I was always engaged in fixing or building something during my childhood, often 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 regularly helped my mom with improvements around the house and property.
