Hi, I’m Andrew—the founder and hands-on handyman behind Hands On Improvements.

I started this business to help homeowners, renters, and small business owners with the jobs that are too small for big contractors but still too important to ignore.

Whether it’s fixing a door that won’t close, updating your bathroom, or putting in a new deck, I’m here to make it happen—quickly, properly, and with care.


With years of experience in carpentry and home improvements, I take pride in the work I do. I treat every job like it’s in my own home. I believe in doing things right the first time, being on time, and leaving your space clean and tidy when I’m done.
