Mr. Fix-It™ has been "fixin" things for about 25 years. I built decks, patios and such for
friends and friends of friends and was paid in various ways. Usually with tools. Once I
was paid with a video camera for building a deck. The work was always done on the
weekend or after I came home from my "real" job. About 13 years ago, after receiving
a reciprocating saw for building a deck on a friends home, my wife grabbed me by the
collar and said "Listen up Mr. Fixit, your next free job is going to be building a patio
cover for me, and your prices are going to be adjusted". Thus, Mr. Fix-It™ was born.
The work was still being conducted after normal business hours and on the weekends.
All work was referred by word of mouth and was performed by myself. In 6 months, it
got to the point of choosing between my "regular" job and Mr. Fix-It™. The "regular" job
won.
Present day: After 22 years in the corporate world, I grew weary of politics and their
effects on peoples lives, including my own. If you treat people like people, take pride in
yourself, and the work/service you perform, life is less complex and much more
rewarding. 65% of my residential business comes from referrals of existing customers
who recommend Mr. Fix-It™ to their friends or associates. My customers receive
instant gratification when the work is complete & I no longer have to deal with 5 year
returns on investments, million dollar capitol expenditures and the like. No payment is
rendered with regards to labor until the customer is happy with the work.
We're a little bigger now, with 14 crews working in all areas of construction, electrical,
plumbing, flooring, etc... I personally perform about 10% of the work, but at some point,
I'm at every job, (excluding the handyman/honey do stuff). I meet every customer and
inspect all work performed.
I own the company and my name is associated with all work done, so it will be done
right the 1st time, every time. My goal is long term. I want customers for life, not one
project. I want you to call me for any/all needs regarding your home or business.
Repair, improve, or something brand new.
So... for those of you in the corporate world who don't have time, don't know how, or
simply have a job that you don't want to do, please give us a call. We'll take care of
what you need to do while you take care of what you want to do.
