Hi! I’m Tonya
I’ve been a handymom since 2004, and I love it.
It started when my husband volunteered me to fix a wooden desk for a friend. She loved it, and word of mouth did the rest. In under 18 months, the business had multiple employees.
Customers, especially women and seniors, trusted me because I answered the phone and kept my word. I’ve run this business for over 20 years, and I want to help you start yours.
Experience
20+ years helping 100s of repeat customers
Mission
To help you so that you can help others.
