About

I’m a local handyman with over 10 years of experience tackling everything from painting and drywall to furniture assembly, TV mounting, picture hanging, light fixtures, and more. My summers are spent near Portland, Maine and my Fall/Winter/Spring is spent in Virginia. I work solo most of the time, but occasionally bring a helper for larger jobs. Whether it’s a quick fix or a full-day project, I bring solid craftsmanship, clear communication, and respect for your space. Locally owned, ethically oriented, and owner operated.

Hired on Thumbtack

Sam was great. I needed help assembling a very heavy midcentury marble and acrylic dining table. Sam arrived early and was very careful throughout the process and even tested the assembled table to make sure additional tightening would not be required once it was used. Sam even agreed to haul away the 50 pound crate it came in. Sam’s great and we will hire him in the future for our handyman projects.

Details: 2 items • Desk or table • Yes, I have assembly instructions or make and model information • Disassemble existing furniture

Sam worked hard on a very hot day to free up plugged drain pipes from leaf residue. Unfortunately we are presently in a drought period and cannot evaluate the success of his work.
