I Have a Guy Handyman Service

I’ve been building, fixing and repairing just about anything I can get my hands on for over 30 years.

Old Homes, Car issues, “you broke what?!”, and that ever growing honey do list...

09/04/2026

One of the funny things about being a handyman is that somehow… you don’t necessarily do handyman work on your own house. Ughhh my wife is a saint

Apparently my kids have figured this out, because they have now started submitting their own “work orders” for their bathroom.

And then this morning, the my bathroom decided to escalate things.

My wife was in the shower when the handle broke and she couldn’t turn the water off. 😳

Nothing like starting your day with an emergency plumbing repair before coffee.

That shower valve was the one that gave me the most trouble. Getting the handle apart was an adventure all by itself.

Can’t beat some fine German engineering. 😂🇩🇪

Once I got that handled, the rest of the bathroom “work order” included:

🔧 Repair the shower handle
🧻 Fix the toilet paper holder
💡 Replace the bathroom light fixture
🚰 Replace two faucets
🛠️ Replace the sink drain assemblies

At this point, I’m starting to think my family is treating I Have a Guy Handyman Service like an in-house maintenance department.

Bathroom work order officially CLOSED.

Well… for now.

I figure it’s only a matter of time before the next request simply says:

“Dad, can we just replace the entire bathroom?” 😂

The worst part?

They know a guy.

Happy Friday All!!!

If you made it this far… take a look at new light. These new bulbs are slick! What Kelvin number are you? 3000k or 3500k. Comment on photo.

Repeat client… and I think I may have finally found someone whose OCD is "almost" as "good" as mine. Almost.

The TV in this room was mounted about 3 feet off-center from the windows across the room.

Could you live with it? Probably.
Could she live with it? Absolutely not. And rightfully so!

The solution sounded simple enough: move the two outlets over so the TV could be centered properly.
Her electrician handled the electrical work, and I have to give the guy credit because this wall fought him every step of the way. There was a TON of blocking inside the wall, steel lath, plus a steel column running right through the area where he needed to get the wires. Look at circles, you can see how much the wall bowed around the column.

Looking at the photos, you can see what he was up against.
He got it done and did a great job… but I’m pretty sure there were a few four-letter words said along the way.
You know… darn, drat, and shuck(s).

Once he was finished, I came in and handled all the patch work.
A few openings, a lot of blending, sanding, and feathering… and eventually the goal is simple: make it look like nobody was ever inside that wall in the first place.

Speaking of OCD, the TV mount was way too high... I moved that down too. Much better.

That’s one of those jobs where the finished result isn’t flashy. In fact, the better the repair is, the less there is to see.

In the end, the outlets are where they belong, the TV can finally be centered, and everyone’s OCD can rest easy again. 😂

A little different kind of handyman job today. 🚗🔧

This client has a junior driver who is just getting her license, and the car didn’t have Apple CarPlay.

So… time for an upgrade.

I sourced and purchased the headunit, all wiring components, removed the factory head unit and installed a new system with wireless CarPlay so she’ll have easier access to navigation, music, and hands-free features while she’s on the road.

And for all my 40+ year old audio geeks… installing a radio isn’t what it used to be. 😂

Years ago it was a few wires, a harness, and you were done. Now there are adapters, steering-wheel controls, factory connections, interfaces, and enough wiring behind the dash to make you question some life choices. 🤣

But everything came together, the new unit looks great, and most importantly, the client is happy knowing their daughter has CarPlay available as she starts driving on her own.

It’s only a mater of time till we put a 1000w amp and two 12” subs. 😏

Home repairs, car projects, and the occasional “can you figure this out?” job…

Love when repeat clients call me back.

This one started with a door that was basically being held together by the doorknob. 😂

Ever wonder what the inside of a hollow-core door looks like? Well… there you go. See the photos. Once these doors start failing around the lockset, there usually isn’t much left to work with, so this one got replaced. I ended up having to do several custom cuts to get it to fit in this “mature” door frame.

While I was there, I also upgraded the exterior lights.

And let’s just say the previous installation involved duct tape… and a bad neutral wire. 🤦‍♂️

Yep. Duct tape. I hear it fixes everything?

That was all removed and corrected, and the new fixtures were installed the way they should have been in the first place.

A new door, upgraded lighting, and a couple more things checked off the list for a great repeat client.

Another “no job too small” kind of day. 🔨 This client patiently waited till I got back from vacation, but her young son was ready to order a door “off Amazon” if I didn’t come soon. 😉

The homeowners had brand-new carpet installed, which looked great… but a couple of the doors were now rubbing and wouldn’t open and close properly.

So I removed the doors, trimmed the bottoms for the proper clearance, and rehung them so they work the way they’re supposed to.

While I was there, I also repaired two bathroom exhaust fans and replaced a broken plastic piece on the toilet seat.

And yes… I did take a picture of the toilet repair. 😂 But you’re only getting the zoomed-in plastic piece that came off the seat. That’s all I’m showing. As clean as the toilet was, nobody needs a toilet glamour shot on their Facebook feed. 🤣

Nothing huge or flashy, just a handful of those little household repairs that pile up and need to get done.

Vacation mode… kind of. 😎🏖️

Even while I’m away, I couldn’t leave a local landlord hanging. A shower curtain rod broke, and new renters were arriving in one hour.

Sometimes it’s not about the size of the job, it’s about helping someone out when they’re in a bind. I was able to swing by, fix the rod and got it installed, and have everything ready before the tenants arrived. I may also have replaced the bulb in the master shower too.

No job is too small. That’s been my philosophy from day one.

Now it’s back to vacation and off to the Tiki Bar! 😄 Thanks to everyone for your patience while I’m away. I’ll be catching up on messages as I can and will get back to everyone as soon as possible. Thanks for understanding!

Vacation Mode: activated!

Just a quick heads-up to everyone…

I’m taking a week off to enjoy some much needed family time at the beach. (I’ve already fixed two things in my motel room 🤦‍♂️)

If you’ve sent me a message, called, emailed or sent a carrier pigeon, thank you for your patience! My responses may be a little slower than usual this week, but I promise I’ll get back to everyone as soon as I can.

Running a small business means wearing a lot of hats, and it’s important to take a little time to recharge so I can continue giving my customers my best.

Thank you all for your support. I truly appreciate every referral, message, and opportunity to work on your homes.

See you all soon—and then it’s back to fixing things! 🔨

Cheers!

Looks can be deceiving…

This storm door looked pretty good from the outside. It’s actually a VERY nice door. But once I started taking it apart, I quickly realized it had reached the end of its life.

At some point, the mounting screws had stripped out, and instead of fixing them properly, someone filled the holes with caulking and screwed them back in.

Let’s just say… bubble gum, hopes, and prayers were holding this bad boy together. 😉

The old door came out, a brand-new storm door went in, and now the homeowner has a door that’s not only looks great but also opens, closes, and latches the way it should. These Anderson 3000 series doors are sooo nice!
Thank you to another great customer for trusting me to get the job done right.

No job too small. If something around your home isn’t working quite right, send me a message for a free quote.

Repeat customers are the best compliment a handyman can receive. It means they trust my work, and I never take that for granted.

When I stopped by to provide an estimate, the customer’s existing over-the-range microwave actually started sparking while it was running. I immediately recommended they stop using it, as it had become a potential fire hazard.

Once the new microwave arrived, I picked it up for them, removed the old unit and installed the replacement. While it may look like a simple swap, it was anything but. The new microwave required a completely different wall mounting bracket, new mounting holes in the upper cabinet, and because of the existing tile backsplash, I had to fabricate spacers behind the mounting bracket so it would sit perfectly flat and securely against the wall.

After carefully measuring, leveling, and securing everything, the new microwave was installed, tested, and ready to go.

Another happy repeat customer and, more importantly, a much safer kitchen.

Thank you to everyone who continues to trust my work with your home projects. Your repeat business and referrals mean more than you know. Cheers!

Sometimes, it’s not about remodeling… it’s about making things look like they never happened.

This homeowner had some old water damage around their brick chimney. The leak had already been repaired years ago, but the peeling paint and damaged plaster were still there; something that definitely stands out when you’re getting ready to sell your home.

The damaged material was removed, repaired, blended into the existing finish, and prepared for a fresh coat of paint. Once completed, the room will be ready to show without buyers wondering what happened. (Also did a quick touchup job on the spare bedroom while I was there, 4th photo)

When you’re getting your home ready for the market, it’s often the small repairs that make the biggest difference. Buyers notice the details.

Thinking about selling? I’d be happy to help knock out those lingering repairs before the first open house.

Interested in this house? Let me know, I’ll connect you to the listing agent. This one is going to go quick!!!
