He was awesome. 🥰 took care of all our door repairs (and there were a lot of them 😂) in a reasonable amount of time. Worth the money for sure and would 100000% hire again.

We had a particular request that a prior welder came out and botched. We needed structure on a hollow metal door to screw a latch plate onto. The pior welder welded the latch plate, BUT latch plates must come on an off to change out a knob or replace the actual latch. Tinker fixed it!!!!

I had an old riding mower from about 10 years ago that i hadn't used in years. I couldn't get it to start, but tinker was able to come out and refurbish it in under an hour. I was shocked. He knows his stuff, was professional, and would highly recommend him.

Details: Riding • Doesn't start • My home, venue, etc.

Tinker is very polite and knowledgeable. He diagnosed the problem with my mower in about 20 minutes and found that it needed a new carburetor. He then fixed my snowblower in about 15 minutes. He also patiently answered all of my questions. I highly recommend him. Mike - Wenham

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to be extremely affordable. If it's something I can do quickly I will only charge for the time. I will only adjust my price for materials. If I quote something and it takes me longer than I expected, that's on me. I thought that was the way it was supposed to work for everyone, but I guess I was mistaken.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
To get as much information on what they want the finished product or project to look like. There may be a more efficient and affordable way to accomplish what is needed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have formal training in motorcycle mechanics, bartending, automatic door testing and safety, welding, fire door regulations, locksmithing, and I have been working in the commercial door and hardware industry for 20 years.
