From Tech to Trades: Building Trust One Fix at a Time
Sometimes the best career pivots happen when you least expect them...
Started 8 Years Ago
Was working in tech when I discovered I genuinely enjoyed fixing things. Started helping neighbors with repairs - nothing major at first. But seeing the relief on someone's face when their home works properly again? That feeling was unmatched.
Learned Everything I Could
Dove deep into learning proper techniques - online courses, trade manuals, hands-on practice. There's a right way to do every repair, and I made sure I knew it. Now I handle everything from quick fixes to complex renovations.
Saw a Gap in the Market
Too many contractors were unreliable - not showing up, overcharging, or doing rushed work. People deserve someone who respects their time and home. I knew I could offer something better: reliability, fair pricing, and quality work.
2020: Made It Official
When everyone was stuck at home, home repairs became crucial. Decided to turn my side work into a proper business. Got licensed, insured, and committed to doing this right. 'Handy & Dandy' - simple, memorable, and reflects our approach.
My Approach Today
Communication is key - I respond quickly, send progress updates, and work with your schedule. Digital payments, photo updates, transparent pricing. Whether it's mounting a TV or renovating a room, every job gets my full attention and expertise.
"Quality work and clear communication - that's my promise"
