Recently updated list of services below.


Hello everyone.  Thank you for visiting my website.  I love what I do, and I hope you do too!

Notes about my services:

I have typically stopped fence post replacement or furniture moving, etc.  Room sized flooring jobs and repairs are becoming too physical for me now that I'm older.

Service Area: 

I have posted a map on Yelp and on this website to indicate my approximate service area to help you decide whether to call me.  If you need a very small job, and you are at the very edge of the map....It may not make good business sense to take that job, don't be offended.  



Comprehensive list of Services:  (if you don't see it, ask)
  • Ceiling fan replacement--all makes and models; with or without remotes.  Ceiling height can be a factor.  Please let me know the ceiling height in advance so I can come prepared or let you know if I can't do it due to height-of-ceiling.  
  • Installation of:  Security cameras; RING, EUFY, ARGO, WYZE and other doorbell cameras; wireless home security systems; keyless entry systems; 
  • WIFI thermostats like Nest, Honeywell, ECO BEE and others.
