Why Hire a Professional Handyman?

Save Time – Why spend your weekend on projects when you could be enjoying time with family? We’ll knock out your entire list efficiently.

Save Money – Our hourly rates are much more affordable than calling specialized contractors for each small job. We can often complete multiple projects in one visit.

Professional Results – We have the right tools and experience to do the job correctly the first time. No more “that’s good enough” DIY solutions.

Safety – Some projects (like electrical work or working on ladders) are safer left to professionals with proper training and insurance.

No Tool Investment – We bring all necessary tools and equipment. No need to buy specialized tools you’ll only use once.

Our Handyman Approach

Flexible Scheduling – We offer convenient appointment times, including evenings and weekends, to fit your schedule.

Comprehensive Service – Bring us your whole list! We’ll prioritize projects and complete as many as possible during our visit.

Honest Assessment – If a project requires a specialized contractor (like major electrical or plumbing work), we’ll let you know and can coordinate with other divisions of Fountain Electric & Services.

Clean Work Sites – We clean up after every project, leaving your home tidier than we found it.
