"I was particularly impressed with the variety of projects that HandyMike Services tackled for me, including repairs to patio door locksets, rot on rear patio and deck doors, replacement of light fixtures, and installation of pull-out slides in kitchen cabinets. Each project was completed efficiently and effectively, with a focus on attention to detail and a commitment to using high-quality materials."
"Handy Mike went far beyond what I expected. When they realized that they did not have the equipment/expertise to complete my job, they found a professional to work with them to be able to complete my job! "
"The men from Handy Mike arrived on time, completed the job, and cleaned up so well that one would not have known that a job had just been completed."
"HandyMike and crew really went out of their way to do an outstanding job. They replaced our front porch, built a really nice front dormer of architectural interest, replaced our back deck & railing and even rebuilt the side steps going into our kitchen. Super great job and compliments are already coming in."

HandyMike is a locally owned company built around Mike’s decades of experience, Mike and Jan’s connection to Charlottesville, carefully selected team members, and trusted specialty professionals.
Mike began working in carpentry, home repair, construction, and property improvement in 1978. His experience includes household repairs, woodwork, maintenance, remodeling, additions, outdoor structures, and the unexpected conditions often found in older properties.
After retiring from law enforcement, Mike founded HandyMike in 2016 so he could continue serving the Charlottesville community through skilled and dependable property work.
His background helped shape the company’s values of reliability, accountability, careful communication, respect for clients, and honest responses when concerns arise.
Mike and his wife, Jan, have called Charlottesville home for more than 30 years. They raised their family here, built their own home, and developed deep roots in the community.
HandyMike has grown through relationships with local homeowners, property owners, businesses, and returning clients. Mike and Jan remain focused on building a company people can contact again as new needs arise.
That local connection helps the company understand the character of Charlottesville-area homes, rural properties, farms, rentals, estates, and older buildings throughout Central Virginia.
HandyMike has grown beyond the amount and variety of work one person can complete alone. Mike leads experienced carpenters, technicians, helpers, electrical professionals, and trusted specialty partners who allow the company to serve a wider range of needs.
Team members are selected for ability, professionalism, reliability, communication, and respect for clients and their properties. Different projects may require different combinations of skills, tools, staffing, and licensed trade support.
This structure allows HandyMike to handle household project lists, repairs, decks, carpentry, electrical work, remodeling, additions, maintenance, and multi-stage improvements.
Genesis was created for clients whose needs extend beyond an ordinary handyman visit. It provides a clear path for substantial renovations, additions, custom-built spaces, and larger residential improvements.
Genesis combines Mike’s experience, the HandyMike team, trusted trade professionals, planning, and construction coordination under the same local company clients already know.
The goal is continuity from the first conversation through project planning, construction, finishing, and final review.
A client may first contact HandyMike for maintenance, a repair, or a smaller home project and later need a substantial renovation. Genesis allows that relationship to continue without starting over with an unfamiliar company.
