Gifford Teeple is a reliable handyman. He’ll fix that fidgety light switch or that leaky faucet, do drywall work, install cabinets and countertops, replace the trap under your sink, put down adhesive tile flooring, stop the toilet from running, patch, plaster and paint, repair floors, walls and ceilings, hang doors, replace locks and fix windows, patch your roof, and do any other reasonable work to cut your “To Do” list down to size.

He likes to do physical work and got into this personally rewarding trade in 1994 by working for his landlord as property manager in Evanston, Illinois. Mr. Teeple feels that any job worth doing is worth doing right.

While no job is too small, some are too large, so repairs are limited to what one man can do and he’s that one man. He’ll tell you straightout what he can and cannot do. For example, he won’t add a room to your house, he doesn’t do major plumbing, re-wiring, or re-roofing.

COMPANY PHILOSOPHY
"A Reliable Handyman will do the work the customer wants in the way the customer wants. While advice might be given, the basic approach is to understand what the customer wants, then do it.”
