I started Able Hands Handyman Services in May of 2004.  If that was the beginning, middle,
and end of the story I wouldn’t hire me either.  My journey into “the trades” started in 1985
at age 14.  What can a 14 year old do?  Like most boys of that age I found that I had a certain
skill for destroying things.  I went to work for a contractor friend doing a remodel.  My first task
was to tear the walls out of a burned out house.  Man that was fun.  To this day, deconstruction
is my favorite part of construction. 

Over the years from then to now I’ve held more jobs than I can count.  I’ve worked more food
service jobs than you can shake a stick at.  I’ve worked for at least a dozen construction
companies, as a bank teller twice, for two commercial HVAC companies, for one of the
largest computer companies in the world as an engineering technician, and for the last few
years I’ve worked for me.  I’m the best boss I have ever had!  I may not always get it right,
but I treat me pretty well.  I know it sounds cliche, but what I learned from all of those jobs is that
honesty is the most important thing

I have two rules:
1. – If I don’t know how to do something you ask of me, you will be the first to know
        (well maybe second to know is more accurate).
            I will offer to find out how to do it, and if I’m comfortable with the concept
            I will still take on the job.  If I am uncomfortable, I will not take it on.
2. – Be honest with the customer, and more importantly be honest with myself.
