YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD HANDYPERSON

Hey there! I'm Mike!

I’m a neighborhood handyperson serving Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, and Arlington. If something’s broken, squeaky, wobbly, leaky, flickering, or just plain annoying… I can probably fix it.

From sticking doors to wonky cabinets, light fixtures to leaky faucets, I handle all sorts of small jobs — the kind that don’t need a big crew, just someone with the right tools and right experience.

Who is this guy!?

I’m a former high school science teacher turned general contractor turned house repair nerd! I have experience building whole houses, but I’ve found that the hands-on stuff is way more fun than the management stuff. Lucky for you, though, I learned plenty from the amazing framers, carpenters, drywallers, plumbers, electricians, roofers, siders, and painters I met along the way.

What I Do?

is it in your house or apartment?
then I can fix it!
