Discover the potential of your New Build/Home Renovation dreams


Home Transformation

As The Fixer, I’m an old hand at home renovations and repairs, helping homeowners transform their interior & exterior spaces into functional and beautiful environments.

The active and creative parts of my ADD mind (mixed with an obsession for detail) help me make short work of just about any renovation or build situation.

There isn’t much I don’t/can’t do, but there are some things I’m either not equipped or haven’t the staff for (or even want to do). That said, I can take of:

  • ”Honey-Do” lists
  • Small renovations
  • Item/furniture assembly
  • Electronic & hardware security (and locksmith services)
  • Audiovisual 
  • Communication (telephone, wifi, network cabling, satellite, etc)
  • Drywall
  • Painting
  • Lawn/yard work
  • Post Holes
  • Yard Material moving (sand, gravel, mulch, etc)
  • Bobcat services
  • Concrete removal
  • Demolition work
  • Plumbing fixtures
  • Electrical fixtures
  • Wall/ceiling hangings
  • Etc, etc

FULLY INSURED & BONDABLE


And now, for you looking to DIY Build or Renovate…


Home Reno & New Build Consulting 

Extensive experience in home renovation projects like; full kitchen, bathroom and basement remodels, and full Home and Yard transformations are just the tip of the iceberg.

I’m a Renaissance Man, a Multipotentialite.

I’ve worked many years in the Security, Audiovisual, Communications and Smart-Home industries. My high school years spent in Automotive Mechanics & Body. While my formative years were spent building and racing pedal motor-bikes and copying almost anything out of a Popular Mechanics magazine.

A fan of all things Space, Science and decades in/with Tech, I’m nicely balanced with a love of humanity, history and Sustainability. 

So you can be absolutely certain I can mentor or direct you to create your very own project, and get it done with a minimum amount of grief, aggravation, stress and cost overruns.
