Mammoth Handyman

Company Overview

Previously known as Mammoth Handyman, I specialize in essential home fixes, installations, and improvements. I currently possess my license for electrical contracting and will shift my focus more on both residential and commercial electrical projects.

In 2005, I joined WECA, an apprenticeship for electricians, having minimal experience about construction. Over the course of the five-year training in commercial and residential electrical work, I learned a great deal in the electrical field. Alongside this, I watched other trades, asked questions, and gained insights through trial and error.

I completed the apprenticeship program within the expected timeframe in 2010, although I was short on hours due to the economic downturn in 2009, which led to a two-year slowdown.

I felt weary of being the junior member on the totem pole. Reluctant to travel for long periods, I was laid off whenever work slowed down. Thus, I decided to create my own path. Whenever I faced a layoff, I began taking action to establish my own company and cultivate it for growth. It was doing well, but I encountered numerous opportunities for jobs exceeding $500 (the cap for handyman work), and not enough jobs under that amount. Consequently, I limited the handyman business and worked towards obtaining my electrical contracting license.
