How I got started
My Story
I officially started my business in January of 2023, but I've been acquiring the skills necessary to be able to do this work since a young child. My father is a real estate investor and has owned rental properties and flipped houses my entire life. I spent my childhood helping him cut the grass, paint, stage and move furniture, and of course hold the flashlight! At 13 I got my first job working for a retired couple down the road, going on Saturdays to help out with their horses and garden, as well as cleaning up and fixing one of their old hay barns during the summer. This was my foundation of being a hard worker and responsible young man.
Over the years I took on many jobs like this, starting a lawn care company with my brothers in high school, working for a master plumber as a summer job, and an apartment maintenance tech in college. Hands on work was a good change of pace from studying Chemistry at UW - Madison, and I was earning money on the weekends with a toolbox from my dad and a moped around campus. After graduation in May of 2022 I put a couple ads out to make ends meet before taking a full time job, when I realized this could be my full time job! I bought a pickup truck and a few more of the essentials that summer, and by the end of the year I had worked for 46 homeowners in Madison, and helped my father completely renovate a cabin up by Lake Superior! I spent my evenings studying how to do my own accounting and getting my contractors license, and filed the paperwork the week of Christmas to start my own LLC!
It has been an adventure and a challenge to build this Business, but overall it has been a great experience and I'm happy to continue helping others with the work I do every day!
