So the traditional punching a timeclock mentality was what I started off doing right out of high school, and that was what I did.  I always showed up on time, always did a good job but that isn't very fulfilling in a lot of ways. 

Nothing against it or anybody who does that, but to me, I was never 100% satisfied. I always wanted to start my own business. I just didn't know what was out there. My abilities were very much focused on dentistry and the dental industry. So I didn't really even know what to do.

So after the pandemic hit, our current jobs were disrupted. That really is what got us thinking – if there is a possibility of a change, now's the time.  We can do it.  We have  the savings.  We have the ability. We don't have any kids yet, so we have the opportunity to do something  different. 

After pursuing several different avenues, we happened upon home repair. I didn't even know it was an actual thing, but we realized that was something we could do. 

After looking into it further, we thought, we can do this.  It's something we can get into involved in.  

Yeah, like I said, when we started, we wanted to help people maintain their homes, and we quickly found that it wasn't just widows or widowers. It wasn't just the 65 and over community that physically couldn't be on a ladder or shouldn't be on a ladder anymore. 

It was single parents, working moms, and families who work all day, get home, and don't have time to raise their kids and fix or replace a leaky faucet, which we weren't expecting. 

Families, though, they work two jobs, so on their days off, they don't necessarily want to spend it doing home projects. They would much rather be at the lake with their families, fishing or whatever. So we quickly found that a lot of family for reaching  out to us and we found a lot of people were looking more for small re-models and we really found ourselves in a position where large construction companies do not want or are unable to do it.   It actually costs a large company money to pull a guy off of a large job and send him out to do a small repair or a small remodel. 

So we really found there's a lane, like tile backsplashes, that a tile company, that is a very small job, or inserting one window in a house, is a very small job for a window  company. They would much rather replace all of the windows in your house. 

That is something that they have their crews for but to split up a crew and send them to replace one window is not cost effective for their company but it is definitely something that the two of us can take on and accomplish quickly and easily. 

So other things that we do, we call it the “honey do” list of  items and this is somebody who, again either doesn't have time to or doesn’t want to or perhaps doesn't know how to do certain things. We ask our customers is to make a list of three to five things that they need repaired and we do it for them, quickly, safely, and at a reasonable price.
