Products & Services
Handyman Matters is a nationally recognized franchise serving the repair, restore and maintenance needs of
both residential and business customers. We specialize in small to medium-sized jobs covering a vast range of
“around-the-house” handyman tasks, repairs, installations and maintenance found on everyone’s to-do lists. From our
experience, the average home resident today has at least 8 to 12 things they need fixed just going from their garage
to the kitchen? Imagine the possibilities!

Why Handyman Matters?
Our business model is time + materials. This allows our franchisees and their craftsmen flexibility
in their scheduling. The benefit to the customer is they can discuss their To Do List and (even if
they add to it on the day of service), the craftsman can explain how additional tasks will affect the
total bill. It also is a window of opportunity for each craftsman to notice small repairs that he
could easily accomplish in the time allotted. This often turns a one-time customer into a lifelong
friend.
Trust is always on the minds of our predominantly female customers. Our craftsmen have all successfully passed a rigorous background check before they are hired. Our ongoing training enhances their understanding and respect for a customer’s home.
We embrace community service and understand that our talents go a long way when combined with other businesses and citizens to complete projects. Each quarter our corporate staff engages with a non-profit to model the community leadership way. From Habitat for Humanity to local food bank service, Handyman Matters continues to live their values of service and family.
