6 Key Facts About My Handyman Repairs Service
My Handyman Repairs is co-owned by the McCollim family, with two generations deeply involved in the home renovation business and the third generation on its way. We consider the greater Houston area our neighbors, even though we may not live on your street.
Background
It all started with our Houston siding, window, and roof replacement business: Home Exterior Systems. Over two decades, H-E-S’s reputation and repeat business flourished. Past customers regularly called us to ask us to consider expanding into interior renovation, remodeling, and handyman services in Houston.
We resisted handyman repairs at first.
Many things about my handyman repairs service changed after a series of weather disasters, including Hurricane Harvey and the pandemic. We heard our neighbors’ calls for help. Our core business was more unpredictable than ever, with skyrocketing material prices (if we could find any). We decided to relent and do some interior work. We took on more repairs, mending, and handyman work for customers who already knew us and trusted us, even as all the “storm chasers” rolled into town.
The customer requests persisted.
Regular calls, emails, and side conversations kept coming. Always asking about handyman services. Apparently, the handyman vocation isn’t what it used to be, and good, dependable, and reliable help is scarce for so many in Houston.
Why about my handyman repairs services are we avoiding?
One day, all of a sudden, we asked ourselves why we were avoiding handyman services. Finding no good answer, we finally said, “Let’s do this.” Let’s go for it and see what happens. Wow. This is fun!
We had no idea how high the pent-up demand for our handyman services was.
Our crews of craftsmen collectively have many decades of experience and highly diversified skills. Most of them have, at one time or another, been a part of our exterior business family. They are trusted friends.
About My Handyman Repairs Service Area
My Handyman Repairs Service covers most of the greater Houston Metro area, including inside the TX-99 Tollway and some select areas outside of it, depending on your needs and urgency. We always do our best to handle requests, but sometimes it just doesn’t make sense for us to drive 200 miles for a very small job. We won’t pad the hours either. If we can do some real work to earn our pay, we will be there for you. Just talk it over with Vicky and see what happens if you’re in an outlying area like Brenham or Galveston.
