HandyMike Services
General Carpentry
HandyMike has two lead carpenters, each assisted with a helper. We can build, repair, and finish whatever carpentry project you have going on. Many everyday carpentry jobs include repairing or installing siding, roofing, trim, soffit, fascia, wood rot, decking, door jambs, fencing, support posts, beams and more. You name it, we can repair it.
New Deck & Deck Rehabs
HandyMike builds decks! That means we repair decks too! Our team can offer great ideas of how to economize and customize your desires. We work with clear pine, exotics such as Ipe, or composite materials! And yes, we stain decks too!
Window & Door Repair and Installation
HandyMike can usually repair rotten window and door trim and jambs, but when they have gone too far we can install new replacements! Any size! Even if there is no current window or door, we can install them for you.
Electrical
HandyMike has a Master Electrician and can do ANY electrical job you need—from the smallest job of swapping out receptacles, ceiling fans and light fixtures, to changing out or upgrading your home’s electrical service or installing a home generator. HandyMike has your electrical needs covered!
Custom Projects
HandyMike can build a toolshed, a raised garden bed, custom closet shelving or make indoor wall adjustments or modifications. Even treehouses! We have you covered!
Fencing
Need a fence repaired? Looking to fence in the yard or the farm? Whether it’s repairs or new builds we can do it. From picket to hog wire to stockade, we can fence you in!
Gutter Cleaning and Repair
We often replace sections of gutters or downspout, clean, inspect and repair (re-secure) your gutters. We can also install or remove gutter guards. HandyMike won’t install all new gutters but as a Class A licensed business we can take care of every aspect of home repair.
Home Repairs & Honey-Do Lists
HandyMike will assemble furniture, hang artwork and mirrors, mend fences, repair closet doors, install curtains and blinds, power wash, finish projects started by others, repair cabinets, you name it, we’ll likely fix it.
Drywall Repair
HandyMike installs drywall on our remodels, or yours! So of course we make drywall repairs too. Whether the plumber made a dozen holes, or the kids made one, we can fix it. Even if it’s plaster, our guys can fix it like new!
Power Washing
HandyMike will power wash your deck, your house, your sidewalk, your furniture or whatever needs washing! We have the right chemicals—the ones that respect your plants.
Tile Work
HandyMike installs and repairs tile backsplashes and can reaffix or replace broken tiles. Need a new shower or bathroom floor tiled? We know and contract the best in the business to handle any tile job big or small.
Light Plumbing
HandyMike can install or change plumbing fixtures, such as faucets, toilet bowls, sinks, hose bibs, and garbage disposals. Need a new hot water heater? We know a guy 😉
Wet Basement and Grading
HandyMike has learned that 99% of the water getting in a basement is either grading at the foundation or downspout drains overflowing or leaking near the foundation. We can access and repair either situation hopefully saving you ten of thousands of dollars in foundation work.
Patios
HandyMike can help you design and create your oasis in your front, rear or side yard. Whether it be a deck, pavers, or adding lighting, we have the skills and contacts to make it your getaway.
Micro-Additions
HandyMike loves these! Is your kitchen too small? Dining room too tight? Do you wish you had 3-6 foot extra in one room? A micro addition is like a bump out that expands a room a tad, and often that does wonders to make a lot more room.
Additions
HandyMike will build your full blown addition. Whether it is a simple room, or several, whether it is a kitchen, a dining room, or a Master Bedroom Suite, we can do it exactly as you want it. In fact, in the city this is a great idea for our older and smaller homes.
Basement & Home Remodels
HandyMike loves to remodel homes, especially basements. We can do it all from designing the layout, building the bathrooms, including adding the ejector pump, installing egress windows, running the electric, everything from studs to painting, we can remodel your space perfectly!
