Dave Patterson
Owner · Wheat Ridge, CO
18 yrs experience
The guy who actually shows up.
I grew up in Wheat Ridge and spent 18 years in residential and commercial construction — framing, drywall, finish work, tile, you name it. In 2017, I went out on my own.
Why handyman instead of GC? Because I was tired of big jobs with big headaches. I like the small stuff. Fixing the door that's been driving you crazy for six months. Hanging the gallery wall you've had planned since you moved in. Assembling the 14-piece bookshelf your partner's been dreading. That's where I thrive.
My customers are mostly homeowners who are too busy to do it themselves and tired of waiting for contractors to call back. I answer my texts, show up when I say, and charge what I quoted. That's really it.
I live in Wheat Ridge with my wife Jenna and our two dogs. When I'm not working, I'm probably hiking somewhere in the mountains that requires a cooler.
Credentials
How I work
I return every text within 30 min during working hours
Not because I have a fancy CRM — because I actually care whether you hear back. Most contractors go silent after they decide your job isn't big enough. That's not how I operate.
I don't start jobs I can't finish
If I open up a wall and find something unexpected, I tell you what I found and give you options before touching anything else. No surprises on the invoice.
I tell you if you need a specialist, not a handyman
I'll tell you honestly when your job needs a licensed electrician or plumber. My reputation is worth more than squeezing a job I shouldn't touch.
