Here’s part of a “big for me” drywall job I’ve been working on for a great family. I’m proud of the way this patch worked out! Can’t wait until it’s painted and the homeowners get their final look🎉!

I love what I get to do for families in and around Abilene! I have been called to do such a variety of work and each job is a unique opportunity for me.

I have a list of roughly 20 jobs I am working on, some small and some pretty big.

If you’ve reached out to me for help, thank you! Please feel free to write me to check in on progress. If you have a sensitive timeline for the job you need done I’m happy to hear about that as well.

I also want to make sure I communicate that Handydan is a part-time venture for me. I work full-time at Hendrick Home for Children. I generally work on the weekends, early mornings, and late evenings. If I seem a little slower than the average bear, that’s probably why. 🙂

Thanks so much for the calls and for allowing me to be part of your projects! It means the world!

Here’s a pic of one of the reasons I do what I do ❤️

A customer called to have a fence repaired and a “dog-proof” latch Installed. Their typical latch design allowed the dogs to actuate the latch and escape.

Instead of spending $80+ on a new latch, I pitched an idea to the homeowner that she allowed me to try.

I repaired the pickets and modified the esisting latch to operate as a “pull-style” handle rather than simply pushing down on the bar, which the dogs could easily do for themselves. I tightened the spring to give it a little more resistance.

It worked great and solved the issue that was most concerning to the homeowner. And the best part, we were able to reuse a perfectly good latch instead of replacing it!

I reinforced the bottom of the pickets with a plank of wood wrapped in wire mesh to discourage the dogs from chewing on the soft red cedar.

This was a fun one for me! Thank you, dear homeowner, for choosing Handydan to handle this! 🙂

A recent customer wrote a very kind review.

"Thank you so much Dan! Selfishly we’d love to keep you a secret as you do fantastic work! We ever so much appreciated your attention to detail and making the repair blend in seamlessly; not to mention, going above and beyond with your service! We will definitely be using your expertise again."

I am happy to help you with projects you need done around your home.

This new gable vent is sealed, painted, and ready to install. I’ll be painting gables and installing this new vent tomorrow for a wonderful family! I built the custom trim to ensure it covers the entire cutout. They have already found additional jobs for me around their home that I’ll be doing soon! Reach out if you have something that needs attention at your home and I’ll get you in the schedule! 🙂

This was a super-fun family to work with! I’m grateful for all the opportunity I’ve been given and I hope my work and attitude exceed expectations. ❤️

A customer called with a beautifully hilarious story! Their “most cautious child” decided to ride in a box down the stairs. The result can be seen in the photo on the left! 😂

I was happy to repair the hole and I gave them the damaged cutout to frame for their kiddo!

Call me if you have a similar story and are ready for the fun memories in your lives to live only in the photo albums on your bookshelves!
