Jared Kempson, your neighborhood handyman

Good help is next door

No trip fee. I live here. Coming out to look at your problem isn’t a trip. It’s a walk. Happy to stop by and talk it through.
Small jobs, fast answers. Most little things I can price on the spot, and often fix the same visit. Bigger installs get you scheduled right away.
Straight prices. You’ll know the number before I start. If I find more once I’m in there, I tell you first.
I walk it with you. Big job or small, I come look and we figure it out together.
Communication is key. I update you when something changes. I’m clear and courteous.

And the odd jobs that don’t fit any category: unconventional possibilities are kind of my thing. Bigger work too: decks, bathroom refreshes, real renovations. I’ve re-built two houses. And if a job truly needs a specialist, I’ll say so and point you to someone good. Bigger jobs get their own rundown below.

When it’s bigger than that

I do that too.

Full remodels, not just the small stuff. Same guy, same straight prices — just more of it.

A gas fire feature burning in a ring of boulders on a stone patio — Gas line & fire feature.

New roof joists going in across a commercial building — Roof framing.

One written scope, one price. You’ll know the number before I start — same as always.
I run the trades. Electrician, plumber, whoever it takes. You deal with one person.

One free neighbor project a month. On the house.

One Saturday a month, my four kiddos and I take on a couple-hour project for somebody in the neighborhood, completely free. Yard cleanup, a wobbly mailbox, the shelf that never got hung.

The point isn’t the shelf. It’s that when we’re all out walking the neighborhood, we actually know each other. That’s the whole idea.

Nominate yourself (or a neighbor who’d never ask)

Who am I?

I’m Jared Kempson. Before I fixed houses, I spent a decade as a nurse — most of it at Riley Children’s Hospital — which turns out to be perfect training for this work: show up calm, listen first, don’t make a mess, tell the truth.

I’ve re-built two houses, I’m raising four kids (still in progress), and I live right here in Warfleigh.

There’s always multiple ways to solve a problem. I help you understand your options and choose the path that’s right for you.

“I’m not free — but I’m not as expensive.”

“It’s cheaper to have it done right once than done wrong twice.”

— me, every estimate
