About Mike

Hi, I’m Mike, owner of Affordable Handyman Services.

I’ve been working with my hands for most of my life. Before starting Affordable Handyman Services around 2003, I worked in cabinet manufacturing and residential construction.

I work directly with every customer from the estimate through the finished project. My goal is simple: do quality work, communicate clearly, and leave you with a finished project you’ll be happy with.

Every home and project is different. I enjoy helping people find practical solutions, and I am straightforward when a project is not the right fit for me.
