Company History

The company began as a one-person truck service focused on mobile home repairs and small plumbing jobs. Over time, local demand for moisture and waterproofing work led the business to add specialized equipment and trained staff. Growth happened steadily, driven by repeat customers in rental communities, older lake-area homes, and small businesses.

Handy Works kept a practical approach while expanding—keeping prices straightforward and jobs well documented. That practical focus helped it build steady referrals in towns along the Minnesota River and nearby lakes.

Leadership

Leadership comes from hands-on trades experience. The founder and crew lead regular training sessions, stay current with local building codes, and work with regional suppliers for parts suited to cold Minnesota winters and seasonal thaw cycles.

Staff involvement includes local job fairs and trade meetings, and technicians often consult with property managers about recurring moisture issues common in older basements and mobile homes.

• Experienced in mobile home systems and foundation details unique to park-style housing.
• 24/7 emergency response for urgent plumbing and waterproofing failures.
