Carpentry
Rot cut out of a porch header
Soft, rotted wood over a front porch opened up, cut back to sound timber and closed with a new board, so the gutter and trim have something solid to hang from again.
Licensed · Bonded · Insured general contractor
The Residential Handyman. One stop, since 1990.
Repairs, remodels, painting and hot water power washing for homes across Indianapolis and Central Indiana. Mike does all of his own work, and every job starts with a free written estimate.
From the job file
Five jobs. The same pair of hands on every one.
No crew of strangers and no subcontractors. The contractor who writes your estimate is the one who shows up with the ladder.
Hot water power washing
A roof washed with hot water
The custom mobile machine on a roof, running hot water and a formulated house cleaner that kills, cleans and inhibits mold and mildew before the rinse.
Decks
Rails, steps and boards stained
A backyard deck brought back with a solid red-brown stain across the rails, the stair treads and every board in between.
Bathrooms
A tub surround set in ceramic tile
Ceramic tile installed around a tub and its fixtures, the kind of bathroom job that starts with the old surround coming off the wall.
Sealcoating
A driveway sealcoated end to end
Fresh blacktop sealcoat laid down the full length of a driveway to the garage door, the job their trailer has listed for years.
Lettered on the van door
Licensed.Bonded.Insured.
Three words most handymen skip, and Mike has carried all three for decades. When the licence holder is the one doing the work, there is nobody else to hand the job to.
- Licence
- General contractor's license with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Plan Commission and Building Authority
- Bond
- Mutual Surety Bond with Western Surety Company
- Insurance
- One policy in force for over 30 years, and per Mike it has never had a claim against it
Start to finish
The job before he touched it, and the job when he left.
Half bath, pedestal sink
Front staircase
A garage, finished out
Can one contractor really handle all of this?
That is the whole idea. From a dripping faucet to a full kitchen, from a sagging fence to a sealcoated drive, one licensed contractor does the work himself and gives you one written estimate.

Same number on the van, the trailer and the estimate. It rings the contractor who will do the work.
The hot water pressure washing system
Hot water first. Then a Rain Coat.
A custom mobile machine washes your siding, shed, fence, deck, driveway or sidewalk with hot water and a formulated house cleaner that kills, cleans and inhibits mold and mildew. Afterwards a formulated Rain Coat can go on, so rain beads up and runs straight off instead of leaving the grime to build back.
One way or the other, we'll get it clean.
Out back and inside
Decks off the back door. Kitchens on the other side of it.
