Small jobs around the house, done right.
From a sticky door knob to a new dishwasher, I take care of the little fixes you've been putting off — quickly, cleanly, and without the runaround.
What I fix
If it's small, awkward, or you just don't have the time — it's on my list. Here are some of the most common calls.
Door Knobs & Locks
Swap, rekey, or install new hardware that actually works.
Light Fixtures
Ceiling lights, sconces, dimmers, and ceiling fans installed safely.
Hang a Door
New interior doors hung level, plumb, and quiet.
Appliance Swaps
Dishwashers, garbage disposals, range hoods — out with the old.
Toilet & Faucet Fixes
Wobbly handles, slow flushes, drips — fixed in an afternoon.
Odds & Ends
Shelves, TV mounts, picture hangs, weatherstripping, the whole list.
Hi, I'm Dave.
I've been a handyman since I was old enough to lift a hammer. Along the way I've worked as a carpenter, an airplane mechanic, and a green-energy mechanic — every one of them a trade where you have to think on your feet and actually solve the problem in front of you. That's the mindset I bring to every project: figure it out, do it well, and leave it better than I found it.
Based in Winsted, CT, I serve homeowners within about 20 miles — from Torrington and Norfolk to Canaan, New Hartford, and the surrounding hill towns. I focus on the jobs that are too small for big contractors but too annoying to do yourself. Straight answer, fair price, clean workspace.
I love the freedom of working for myself, and even more than that I love helping each customer finally cross things off their to-do list — with high-quality work and friendly service every visit.
Got a list? Let's tackle it.
