About Me

Hi! I'm Collin. I am more than a handyman. I perform practical magic. I make problems disappear!

I've been working exclusively for homeowners doing home improvement and repair for about two years. Before that I worked as a commercial metal and wood fabricator/installer/CAD person, a residential cabinet builder and installer, and a murphy bed expert. Before that I ran a metal fabrication shop (commercial and residential) for almost a decade.

These days, I might be replacing flooring for three days straight, or just a few hours over two days. Meanwhile, I’m also handling caulking, drywall, trim, painting, and uninstalling and reinstalling toilets, faucets, mirrors, and cabinets as part of a remodel. There are often other small tasks a homeowner might be able to do but not want to do - like hanging some décor in hard to reach spots, replacing a faucet, repairing trim, mounting a TV or hanging shelving. I demo, repair and install tile. I still do a little metalworking. Whatever it is, I've got you covered.

Homeowners hire me to efficiently solve many problems and they keep me around because it reduces their stress and improves their quality of life.
