About
I have 25 years of experience in construction and maintenance, ranging from high-end residential remodels to various commercial tenant improvement projects. Currently, I am a real estate house flipper, and I have previously worked as a building maintenance engineer for eight years and as a facility manager for five years. During this time, I managed 30 commercial buildings and apartment complexes, dealing with their unique and evolving challenges. My current focus is buying real estate, renovating houses, and reselling them on the market. In the meantime, I also provide maintenance and handyman services until my properties are sold or require my personal attention for repairs. I have been involved in the trades since I was 13 years old, starting by assisting my uncle with tools. Now, I work alongside my best friend, helping to run his construction business. I decided to venture into the handyman business to assist others, as my work has proven so rewarding in helping family and friends. I figured, why not put my skills to use professionally? Additionally, I once worked for a nonprofit youth agency, where I helped young people acquire the skills needed for success in their lives. I have a genuine desire to help others, and I appreciate you taking the time to read my message. I look forward to building a productive working relationship with you!

Our water heater broke and flooded the basement, and Brian and his team were quick to respond and easy to work with. Brian knows a ton about houses and maintenance, and I learned so much from him along the way. Additionally, my water heater platform was slightly sloped, and I was concerned it might not properly support the new heater. Even though this wasn’t part of the original scope, they went out of their way to come up with a creative solution and install a supporting beam to the platform to make sure everything was safe and secure. Everything was handled thoughtfully and professionally, which made a stressful situation much easier. I’d definitely work with Brian again and highly recommend him!

Details: Yes, the location has an existing heater • Gas tank (standard) • I would like the pro to buy the water heater • Condo/Apartment

Brian was quick to respond and eager to help me out with my broken water heater. He was honest and gave his professional opinion. He didn’t pressure me into hiring him nor did he try to oversell me. I am grateful for crossing paths with Brian and I plan to hire him for futures jobs. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed with his work.
