01 · Story

Start with the problem, then the work

People call with a house that needs a plan, a repair that has gotten confusing, a rental question, or a technical one. I want the how, the what, and the why clear before anyone opens a toolbox or signs anything.

The trades side runs from retaining walls through kitchen and bath remodels, and through the smaller jobs that fill a week. Communication comes first. A repair list can take over a week. You should still know what is happening in your own home.

The same habit shows up with rentals and with technology. Find the actual problem, say it in plain language, then decide what to do. Contracting, real estate, and IT are different rooms. The useful part is having someone who will sit in any of them and sort it out.

02 · How I help

Homes, rentals, and the people doing the work

Contracting

Licensed general contractor in Indiana. I consult on contracting work and I still take on problem-solving handyman and home issues: the job that needs a clear scope, a straight explanation, and someone who will follow it through.

Sometimes the snag is on the operations side — how a crew should run a day, or how a job should be explained so the people doing it can actually do it. That is practical talk from the contracting side.

Rentals and real estate

Finding the right rental, managing a property, growing a rental portfolio, and finding good renters. If you want that conversation before you commit, it is a real estate consultation.

Owners and tenants in Lafayette, West Lafayette, and Tippecanoe County show up with the same question: what should happen next, and who is responsible. Maintenance belongs in that conversation, including a 24/7 mindset when something cannot wait.

A note from people who hired the handyman work

“Frank’s craftsmanship is top notch and he is very dependable. I’ve hired him time and again.”

Ryan — Public note from a customer

“He is a great handyman. Very communicative and worth the money.”

03 · Technology

The background I consult from

Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology from Purdue Global, a four-year program completed in 2014. Certifications: CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+.

That covers project management, servers, data centers, networking, infrastructure, and where AI fits a real workflow. A conversation can be a plan review, a second set of eyes, or a plain explanation of what the technical side is actually doing.
