No Job Too Small.No Corners Cut.

Everybody figured that out about five years ago — and a lot of them figured out something else too: when you're the only guy who answers the phone, you can charge whatever you want.

So now you can't get somebody out to hang a ceiling fan, and when you finally do, the number's insulting.

Rick called me looking for work. I'd been kicking around the idea of starting a construction and handyman company for a while, and the timing was perfect — he's got the hands, I've got the truck, the trailer, and 30 years of selling. We went in together because he was tired of watching good people get quoted numbers that had nothing to do with the work.

We're not cheap because we cut corners. We're fair because we don't have a crew to feed, a fleet to finance, or a sales guy in a golf shirt marking up your bathroom by forty percent.

Fix the fence gate. Patch the drywall your kid put a foot through. Haul the pile out of your garage. Swap the light fixture you've been staring at for two years.

Nobody wants that work anymore. We do — because that's how you meet the people whose bathroom you'll remodel next year.

I own a lake house that needed everything. Here's what he actually did — by himself, start to finish.

It took him longer than a big crew would have. That's because it was him, by himself, and every detail is right. He's also the best painter I've ever hired.

The shop wants $900 for brakes. The dealer wants more than that. I just did the pads and rotors on my HD Silverado myself for a fraction of either number — and the parts are the same parts they would have put on.

That gap isn't the work. It's the building, the service writer, and the markup. We don't have any of those, so we don't charge you for them.

If it's a bolt-on repair — the part comes off, a new part goes on — we can do it. If it's catastrophic, we'll tell you straight and point you to somebody who does that for a living. No guessing on your dime.

What we don't do: engine or transmission rebuilds, internal transmission work, body and paint, airbags, or anything needing a lift and a diagnostic bay. That's a shop's job, and we'll say so before you spend a dollar.

Same rules as everything else we touch — free estimate, firm price in writing, and photos of the old parts so you can see exactly what came off your vehicle.
