Welcome to the Silver Hammer website. We have a lot to offer, so please take a minute to look around!

I have worked hard to build Silver Hammer's reliable and credible reputation by focusing on smaller to medium size projects and home repairs. I work alone and choose the projects that best showcase my attention to detail to give the greatest results.

In 2023 Silver Hammer expanded. My wife Barbara Ann and I started B & D Wood Decor (and more). We make items for the home, weddings, commemorative events, etc... We sell our crafts locally at vendor events, pop-up stores and do local delivery/pick ups in our area. You can learn more in the B and D Wood Decor section in the menu.

We look forward to hearing from you. As always, thank you for supporting our small businesses.

What to expect...

Estimate vs Consultation and site visits.

When I first started this business I was so excited people were calling I would drive around going on estimates in person. As my reputation and business has grown over the years, I now receive so many emails, calls and texts I can't possibly drive out to meet everyone as much as I may like to so I had to change how I provide estimates, consultations and site visits.

Estimate:

The first step is to submit pictures of the project(s) or damaged areas.

You can email them silverhammerhandyman@gmail.com .

Once I receive and review them we can discuss further and I can provide a FREE ballpark estimate over the phone and/or email if I feel this is a project I can do for you.

Consultation and site visit:

I can also offer an in person consultation and site visit to go over your project in more detail such as providing damage solutions, design ideas, etc...

An in person consultation costs $100 which will be credited toward the total of the project should you choose to move forward.

My preferred way to correspond is email. I am up at 5am every morning answering emails while enjoying a cup of coffee with our two cats Sadie and Ashley who are wide awake! Once I head out for the day I am focused on the project so I can not always answer the phone or check emails, so please leave a voicemail or send an email.

I do my best to respond as soon as possible.

Subcontractors.

I work with specific electricians and plumbers that I have used many times and have built a relationship with. As a handyman I am allowed to do minor electrical and plumbing like changing fixtures, but for more involved work I call in the licensed professionals.
