After spending 15 years working for various firms performing engineering work, it was time for a change...and in 2012, The Nashville Handyman was born! After 7 years of running a successful Nashville location with high levels of customer satisfaction and receiving multiple excellence of service awards, I expanded my handyman service to Knoxville. Over 20 years of experience repairing, building and creating around the house, ownership of a large commercial landscape maintenance company, along with complete remodels of multiple flipped homes gave me the experience and confidence to start a handyman business. I put in the extra effort each and every day to ensure that my clients are satisfied with every job I complete. I pride myself in providing excellent service, reliability, and unmatched craftsmanship. I strive to deliver to you that peace of mind that comes with knowing that your property is well maintained. Contact us today for all of your handyman needs!
Our Vision - Ask any company in our industry and you will probably get a different answer on how to fix a crawl space, waterproof a basement or insulate an attic. Our vision is to create the standard in making crawl spaces, basements and attics dry, clean, healthy and efficient. We are tired of fly by night companies taking advantage of people and offering horrible service with even more horrible products. We have created a Gold and Platinum Package for crawl spaces that we feel will be the industry standard for years to come.
