More From The Field

Why The General

Veteran Discipline.
Neighbor Pricing.

Punctual & Reliable

We give you a time and we show up. Quick in, quick out. No vague arrival windows and no dragging a job out to run up the bill.

Honest, Upfront Pricing

You get a flat quote before any work starts. What we say is what you pay. No surprises when you see the invoice.

Veteran Standard of Work

Backed by 30+ years in home building and remodeling, that standard of pride does not retire when you leave the service.

After years of military service, Michael Shively came home and did what veterans do: he got to work. With over 30 years of experience in home building and remodeling, Michael built The General Handyman on the same values that carried him through service - show up on time, do the job right, and never cut corners.
