About

**DO NOT waste my time and money by requesting roof work in the middle of winter.** I’m a local handyman with 15 years of experience. My specialities include painting/staining, fence building and repair, exterior wood decay and rot repair, deck repair, simple custom carpentry, furniture assembly, & more. If you are seeking quick price-shopping, and prioritize cost over craftsmanship, I am probably not a good fit for you. I am ethically oriented. I show up when I say I'm going to, stick to my word, and love what I do. Whether it’s a one or fourteen day project, I bring solid craftsmanship, clear communication, and respect for your space.

Sam was great. I needed help assembling a very heavy midcentury marble and acrylic dining table. Sam arrived early and was very careful throughout the process and even tested the assembled table to make sure additional tightening would not be required once it was used. Sam even agreed to haul away the 50 pound crate it came in. Sam’s great and we will hire him in the future for our handyman projects.

Details: 2 items • Desk or table • Yes, I have assembly instructions or make and model information • Disassemble existing furniture

I’m happy that I was able to find someone like this gentleman to install my new mailbox and stand. I only needed to order the supplies from Home Depot so he could pick them up on the way to my property. Honest and helpful.
