Sometimes you don’t need a general contractor, or an entire crew, to get done what your hubby can’t or won’t. You just need a guy with a level, drill or ladder to install that TV, unclog the sink or install the new light fixtures that have been sitting in your garage for the last six months.
We took the time to locate a few of those guys for you. Some of them prefer to do tile, some of them like electrical better, but they are all just a phone call away from getting that “Honey Do” list knocked out in record time.
Anthony Torre, Handyman of Hilton Head, 13 years in business
What sort of handyman services do you offer? Installing ceiling fans, chandeliers, vanity lights, televisions, fire alarms, artwork, mirrors, closet organizers, receptacles and light switches, wood rot repair, painting, etc.
Is there such a thing as a job too small? We are here for our island community so no service is too small, as we know how important even the smallest tasks are to those who need them done.
What’s your favorite type of project to take on? We enjoy working together with homeowners in designing both remodeling, which is changing the form of the building, and renovating to revitalize the existing space of a home.
When you have to turn down a job, what is usually the reason? Are there building red flags you try to avoid? Turning away a project is always difficult for me as we always aim to please. But when I do, it is typically because of timeframe, as we are commonly scheduled out weeks and months at times. We do not find anything too complicated, so no red flags for us.
If you had to choose between working in extreme cold or heat … pick your poison! I would prefer to work in the cooler times, as it allows more production, compared to the sweltering high humidity we live in, when you have to pace yourself.
When you’re not working, we can find you …Spending time with our family doing anything together has always been very important to me. Getting out onto our local waterways is relaxing on Saturdays, and my family worships together at Central Church every Sunday and Wednesday, as my household puts God Almighty first in all things – including our company – as we not only enjoy rebuilding homes but also hearts. That’s why we have two slogans: “Your Home Your Way” and “Restoring Homes & Hearts.”

Evan White, Nailed It Handyman Solutions, 7 years in business, plus 3 in the industry
What sort of handyman services do you offer? I am a licensed carpenter and painter, although that doesn’t describe the extent of my work. I also wash windows, pressure wash houses, do maintenance checkups and reports, honey-do lists, etc.
Is there such a thing as a job too small? There really isn’t such a thing as a job too small. I get calls about everything from painting someone’s entire house to seeing if I can remove a broken hinge from a door and replace it.
What’s your favorite type of project to take on? My favorite work is either painting houses or repairing wood rot. Between the two, I like wood rot more, as sometimes it requires more problem solving, which is very fulfilling. Painting is also more of a cosmetic fix (although a fresh coat of caulk and paint can do wonders on protecting your house from damage) in comparison to wood rot, which is a much bigger problem that feels awesome to remediate from someone’s home.
When you have to turn down a job, what is usually the reason? Are there building red flags you try to avoid? I book out about three months in advance, so most of the jobs that I turn down are unfortunately ones that require someone to fix it ASAP. I wish I could help everyone but unfortunately those types of jobs I end up turning down.
I try to remain positive about my industry and the professionals in it, so I can’t think of any building red flags off the top of my head. It’s an incredible job that I feel blessed to be able to do every single day.
If you had to choose between working in extreme cold or heat … pick your poison! Between working in the heat and the cold, that’s an easy one. I’m picking the cold every time. While the cold takes a toll on the batteries for my tools, the heat takes a toll on me.
When you’re not working, we can find you … If I’m not working, it’s a Sunday and I’m either in my garage cleaning my tools and getting ready for the next week or cooking and meal prepping. On the surface it might not seem too exciting, but I found something that I love to do and I do it six days a week!

When you have to turn down a job, what is usually the reason? Are there building red flags you try to avoid? I’m a one-man show, so there are times when I have to turn down a project that might be bigger than I have resources for, but other than that, I try to take on almost anything a potential client needs.
If you had to choose between working in extreme cold or heat … pick your poison! I was born and raised in Chicago, but I’ve been away from the Windy City for more than 10 years, so these days I’ll take the heat!

Matt and Christine Price, CMT Home Services LLC, 5 years in business
What sort of handyman services do you offer? We offer a wide range of handyman services focused on repairs, maintenance, and small improvement projects to keep homes safe, functional, and well maintained. That can be anything from replacing garbage disposals, plumbing fixtures, lighting, and ceiling fans to repairing wood rot and handling light bathroom remodels. We also assemble furniture and take care of the smaller jobs homeowners don’t have the time or tools to tackle. In addition, we provide home watch services for seasonal and traveling residents, giving them peace of mind that someone they trust is regularly checking on their property while they’re away.
Is there such a thing as a job too small? There really isn’t a job too small. Those are often the projects homeowners need help with most. Since Matt typically works solo, we focus on smaller repairs and maintenance projects rather than large-scale renovations, so we can keep our quality high and schedules reliable.
What’s your favorite type of project to take on? Our favorite projects are troubleshooting issues for homeowners. We enjoy figuring out why something isn’t working the way it should. Many times, it’s a small but persistent problem they’ve been living with for months. There’s something really satisfying about tracking it down, fixing it properly, and seeing the relief when it finally works the way it’s supposed to. Our favorite jobs are the ones that end with, “I should’ve called you sooner.”
When you have to turn down a job, what is usually the reason? Are there building red flags you try to avoid? We try to avoid situations where the scope isn’t clearly defined or the expectations don’t match the size of the project. Our focus is on smaller repairs and maintenance work, so we want to make sure homeowners are set up with the right type of professional for larger renovations. Clear communication upfront helps everything go smoother for everyone involved. We won’t take on a job that we cannot do.
If you had to choose between working in extreme cold or heat … pick your poison! Having moved here from just outside NYC about five years ago, we’ll take the heat any day. We’ve had our fill of the cold!
When you’re not working, we can find you … When I’m not working, you’ll probably still find me working, just on my wife’s punch list instead of a customer’s, and spending time with our two kids, Mason and Taylor.

Cameron Letzinger, Letzbuild, 6 years in business
What sort of handyman services do you offer?
We do everything – flooring, electrical, plumbing, doors, windows, painting, drywall, exterior work, and pressure washing.
Is there such a thing as a job too small? Absolutely not. We treat every job as an opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with the client.
What’s your favorite type of project to take on?
Full home remodels are my favorite. It is rewarding to change the landscape of a home and have the whole team focused on a single project for several weeks.
When you have to turn down a job, what is usually the reason? Are there building red flags you try to avoid?
We rarely turn down work. When we do, it is typically because we cannot meet the client’s timeline. We don’t have any specific red flags; usually, what others might see as a big issue, we look right at the ways to fix it.
If you had to choose between working in extreme cold or heat … pick your poison! Definitely the heat – we always keep a water hose nearby!
When you’re not working, we can find you … Usually tinkering on projects at my property. I also love to hunt and fish, so you can often find me on a boat or in the woods.
