Veterans serving the community we live in.
Genesee County is home to more than 5,200 veterans, over 1,300 of them service-disabled. Many are living with injuries, seen and unseen, that turn routine home upkeep into a real obstacle. The Handy Family was started by a veteran to close that gap: a repair and maintenance company that understands what our fellow service members are dealing with, and treats every customer with the same patience and professionalism.
Our owner, Keith Decator, is a U.S. veteran rated 100% Permanent and Total by the Department of Veterans Affairs. That is not a marketing line. It is why the company exists, why we hire veterans who need flexible work, and why we bring a military standard of preparation, communication and closeout to every job, whether it is hanging a door for a neighbor, securing a site, or running a maintenance contract for a public building.
We serve everyone. If you are a veteran or a veteran's family, tell us when you call.
