Testimonials
I've been an ICU nurse and university professor for 22 years. You do not have
to be “Handy” to be a Mr. Handyman Owner. My husband and I have enjoyed
working together on homes we purchased and renovated. We're both creative
and willing to work hard for that potential we initially see in a house. Some of
our purchases require more "vision" than others but we are passionate about
turning houses into homes. I feel we bring this passionate drive and energy to
my management of Mr. Handyman. When I don't have a paintbrush in my hand, I
enjoy reading and growing roses. Janet Sipp (Mr. Handyman Owner)
