Introduction

Hello! I am a full time US Navy Sailor (22 years); as well, a very experienced Handyman. I come from a long pedigree of handymen and as such I have become a “Jack” of many trades. I enjoy working as a handyman… it is my zen. If I don’t know it… I will figure it out! I am experienced in electrical wiring, outlet, switch and breaker installation; as well, drywall repair and paint. I am fluent in fan and light installation. I have novice experience as a plumber and can repair and replace broken pipes, toilets, faucets, sinks, and tubs. I can do basic masonry such as installing backsplash tiling for kitchen and bathes. And I am great at hanging pictures and televisions (to include TV’s that require wall recess for installation). I can hang doors and cabinets and easily hang any picture or mirror. I am no stranger to hard work and am not physically limited to lifting or carrying anything needing to be If there is something you need assistance with, I guarantee that I can help. No problem too big or too small!

Thankful for Ray! I had a (small) electrical fire and needed an electrician asap to take a look. Ray was available quickly, even willing to come late that night. He not only let me know what was going on and why the fire happened, but replaced the outlet, patched up the wall, and let me know what to do to prevent the same thing happening to my other outlets. I really appreciate it!!

Working with Ray was awesome! He was punctual, friendly, and professional from beginning to end. Communication was great, the price was fair, and Ray did quality work. After a tenant moved out, I hired Ray to help me repair a few broken things in our townhouse rental unit. The list of repairs that Ray did include realigned 2 crooked/sticking doors, casing for a closet door, replacing a broken baseboard/trim, repairing a large wall that had adhesive from a wall mirror, patching it and retexturing, patching and retexturing 2 window sills, added trim and molding for a TV cabinet/entertainment center, and reattaching a stair handrail. Everything was completed over 2 days, neatly done and chaulked, and Ray draped a cloth over his work area and vacuumed afterward. He was very efficient and worked quickly. After Ray completed the job and was paid, I had painters come in within 2 days to paint the entire townhouse. Upon completion of the painting, I noticed the texturing of the repaired wall was not even and sent Ray a text asking if he could come back to fix it. Ray responded immediately and said he would come back the next day. Today Ray came out, got to work, and stayed until I was completely satisfied with the results. He is truly professional, responsive, and stands 100% behind the quality of his work. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Because of the wonderful experience, I will be referring him to neighbors and friends in our neighborhood. A bonus is Ray is a Navy veteran and we were able to exchange stories and details about our work and families. Thanks so much for the great work, Ray! You really helped me out a lot the last few days!
