I grew up on a small farm in Wanatah and was taught the value of learning how to do things myself at a young age. Because of this, I had many opportunities early on in life to take on projects that most people wouldn't. I learned how to do many things the wrong way at first, but I always sought after the confidence in knowing I created a safe, long lasting product when I was done with a task. For
the past 10 years I have worked in the utility industry, primarily as a lineman. During my time as a lineman, I have run the electric service to hundreds of new homes being built. Every time I was on a construction site hooking up electric, I had the opportunity to see how homes were being built from the inside out. Often times other contractors were there working and I would go out of my way to ask questions about their trades. My hands-on nature combined with my curiosity of how things work allowed me to develop a thorough understanding of how homes are built. In 2019, I had decided I was going to design and build my own home. I made blueprints on regular graph paper, and had to think and plan where every utility was going to go before we even broke ground. It was a long process that would not have been possible without the help of others. I had to hire out a few pieces of the project like concrete, septic, well, and drywall. But being able to see my sketches come to life was incredible. About a year and a half later, my wife and I were able to move in and enjoy a home we built together with our two hands. This is just a little background on myself so that you can rest assured in what Chet's Handyman Service is all about. From working on 12,500 volt power lines to building my own home, I have a strong understanding of safety and doing things right. The goal of Chet's Handyman Service is to be able to help others maintain their home in an efficient manner, just as I would want for my own family.
