Meet your handyman
Hi, I'm Richard.
I've been doing construction for almost 15 years. I started The Northeastern Handyman so I could do the work my way: showing up when I say I will, doing the job right, and charging a fair price for it.
I live in the Scotia area with my wife and our two kids. When I'm not working, I'm spending time with them, out fishing or camping, or cracking a cold beer every now and then.
When you call, you get me. I treat every home like it's my own family's.
★★★★★
“Great work! Quick and efficient. Reasonable prices and very trustworthy. Will hire again!”
