About John

One man. One toolbox. Twelve years.

I've been fixing, building, and maintaining homes in the Austin area for over 12 years. I show up on time, I do the job right, and I don't disappear after the check clears.

No crew of strangers. No upsells. Just me, my tools, and a commitment to doing it right.

Years in Austin
"Had a water leak that wrecked our ceiling drywall. John came out the same week, matched the texture so well I can't even tell where it was. Just an honest pro."
Megan R.·Hyde Park
"Installed a ceiling fan and fixed a bedroom door that wouldn't close right. In and out in two hours. Cleaned up better than my house was before he got here."
Daniel K.·Mueller
"Third time hiring John. At this point I won't call anyone else. He tells me straight up what's worth fixing and what isn't. That kind of honesty is rare."
Priya S.·South Lamar
"Honestly nervous about hiring someone I found online. John was upfront on price, on time, and respectful of the house. I've already sent his number to two neighbors."
