Fellas... we need to talk about the "Honey-Do" list on the fridge that has been there since Thanksgiving. 😂I know you can mount the TV. I know you can put together that IKEA dresser. But let's be honest — do you really want to spend your entire Saturday fighting with an Allen wrench and trying to find a wall stud?Let me save your weekend (and maybe your marriage). I charge $65-$75 an hour to come in and completely wipe out that list. TV mounting, furniture assembly, changing those hard-to-reach lightbulbs — I do it all.Send me a DM. You can take the credit, I won't tell. 🤫

Nobody is coming to save you.
That’s not a motivational quote I read on the internet. That’s a lesson I learned the hard way.
Ten years ago, I was at the bottom. I lost my mom and my money at the exact same time, and it broke me. I was battling a op**te addiction, dealing with severe mental health struggles (bipolar 1 and schizoaffective disorder), and sitting in a jail cell. I had nothing left. The only person who stood by me was my girlfriend. Everyone else was gone.
I had a choice to make: stay at the bottom, or build my way out. I chose to build. I got clean. I stayed clean. I started AJ's Handyman Services from absolute scratch, with no loans, no handouts, and no safety net. Just 20 years of woodworking experience, a set of tools, and the refusal to quit. Today I own a business I'm proud of. I build custom furniture, fix homes across Springfield, and travel doing commercial facility maintenance. I'm telling you this because I know what it feels like to think it's over. It’s not. If you are at the bottom right now, pick up a hammer. Pick up a pen. Pick up whatever tool you have and start building your way out.
Nobody is coming to save you. But the good news is, you can save yourself.

Most people know me as the guy who fixes their plumbing or hangs their doors. What a lot of people don't know is that I spent 15 years doing custom woodworking and apprenticed in antique furniture restoration.I don't just fix things — I build them from scratch.From custom patriotic picnic tables and cedar pergolas to high-end concealment furniture. If you can dream it up, I can build it in my shop. Summer is right around the corner, which means my build schedule for outdoor furniture is filling up fast.Send me a message if you want something custom-built that will actually outlast the stuff you buy at the big box stores.

I'm going to do something most contractors absolutely hate doing: I'm going to tell you exactly what I charge before you even call me.

We need to have a serious talk about the guy on YouTube who told you that fixing your own plumbing was going to take "15 minutes."
That guy lied to you.
I know he lied to you, because I am currently in my truck, driving to your house, to fix the geyser that used to be your kitchen sink. 😂
Look, there is zero shame in trying to fix it yourself. But when the YouTube tutorial ends and the water is still running, it's time to call a professional. I've got 20 years of experience, a million-dollar liability policy, and I actually show up when I say I will.I don't play games with pricing either. Here's what you can expect when you call AJ's:
💧 Kitchen Faucet Install: $150
💧 Bathroom Faucet Install: $125
⚡ Outlet/Switch Replacement: $50
🚪 General Handyman Labor: $65–$75/hr
Stop watching the 14th tutorial video and just give me a call. Your weekend is worth more than fighting with a stripped pipe thread.
