Meet the Business Owner

Liz P.

Business Owner

Living in a city where busy professionals outsource everything from home cleaning to dog walking, I recognized a critical gap in the marketplace for reliable handyman services. I started my company in 2011 after being cheated, belittled, and let down by handymen who I hired to do minor renovations and repairs in my own home. One skipped the country with my money before finishing a project. Another insisted on speaking only with my husband, not recognizing that I was an experienced DIYer, with a husband who didn’t own a drill before marrying me. And then there were the handymen who showed up late, didn’t return phone calls, and littered my sidewalk with cigarette butts. There had to be a better way. So I wrote a business plan, quit my corporate job, and have never looked back.
