About me

I realize with the busy day-to-day hustle of everyday life, there are many “honey-do” lists, maintenance projects and updates that do not get addressed when owning a home. That is why I started Renew N Refresh, where I specialize in those handyman, pressure washing and window cleaning projects that a homeowner often just doesn't have time to do. As the sole owner and operator of Renew N Refresh, I focus on those smaller, yet sometimes just as important homeowner projects, rather than large renovations and remodels. There are many large companies out there with large crews to handle those projects, but I have found in the 20+ years I have lived and worked in the Southwest Michigan area, many people say they just can't find someone reliable to help with the small projects they need done at home. For example, one gentleman I spoke with was getting a little older and needed several additional handrails added to his stairwell leading to the upstairs and to the bathroom. He stated how hard it was just to get someone out to give a estimate on a small project like that, most contractors saw it as too small of a job! 

these are exactly the size of jobs I enjoy helping people finish. Whether it is installing needed hand rails for safety, repairing a rotten door frame, cleaning a slippery moss and algae ridden deck, or making your home windows as clear as they were on the day you moved into your home, I am here to help!

I realized that when you have a boss over you that you often can not give the customer the full attention they deserve. They are often telling you, “your quality is great and the customers love the work you do, but you need to do it quicker so we have a better bottom line”. Well, I decided when I started Renew N Refresh that customer satisfaction would be my #1 goal. I would rather spend a few extra hours at someone’s house making sure the project was finished right and the customer was happy, rather than worry about “the bottom line”. Now…, I do have a wife and two kids at home and this is a business, so obviously I need to make a profit or there is no business, but I believe if you try to make each customer happy and do the work as if it was your own home, the rest will come, as word of mouth advertising is the best there is!

I am NOT perfect, nobody is, but I still strive to get as close as I can and aim to do every job in the best and longest-lasting method possible. I pride myself on thinking “out of the box,” for solutions to problems that others may not have thought of or taken the time to consider. When I work on a project that involves the homeowner’s safety or well-being, that is at the top of my priorities.
