Handyman Connection, the number one ranked handyman company by home improvement publication Qualified Remodeler for the past 11 years, recently expanded to Fayetteville. This new business is owned by Army veteran John Brock and works to connect customers to local craftsmen in their community.

 

“One thing that stood out about Handyman Connection right away was the professionalism embodied by everyone involved in the brand,” Brock shared in a press release. “I am very excited to start my new business in my home community and begin helping those who need a bit of assistance with home improvement projects and repairs.”

 

Handyman Connection provides a number of home improvement and repair services from carpentry, flooring, and electrical work to painting, plumbing, and remodeling. If Handyman Connection can’t complete a particular task for any reason, the brand’s expansive network of local craftsmen allows them to refer their customers to someone who can get the job done right. The company’s core values of delivering on its commitments, respecting its connections, continuously striving for improvement, and having pride in what they do have allowed the brand to uphold its standard of quality assurance for over 30 years.

 

“We take great pride in the quality of our franchisees, and John Brock is the perfect example of a committed franchisee who is looking to create lasting relationships with those he services in his community,” said Handyman Connection CEO Jeff Wall in a press release. 

Handyman Connection is currently open for business and serving the Fayetteville community.
