Personal experience & credentials 

My name is Mike Plunkett and I founded The Residential Handyman about 25 years ago. At that time, there were only 5 handymen in the yellow pages. I have been in this line of work for over 30 years and still do all my own work. The customer benefits by getting all of those 30+ years of experience by ONE individual. That translates into SKILLED craftsmanship with guaranteed results in several trades. This also translates into trust by only having ONE person in your home for ALL your needs. Not like other companies that claim years of experience of having someone else do the work, I strive to be the "Go to company" when you want Trust, Skill, and Value for your hard earned money. 70 % of my customers have used me for several years.

I spent 10 years in high rise building engineering. Then I decided one day to go it alone. I have since acquired a GENERAL CONTRACTORS LICENSE, 1990. I also am a CERTIFIED APARTMENT MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN with the Apartment Association of Indiana, 1985. I graduated from Ben Davis High School and have attended Ivy Tech and ITT Technical Institute. With over 30 years of hands on experience in Building maintenance, Apartments, Hotels and Motels, and residential housing repairs and construction, I have the tools and knowledge to GET THE JOB DONE! I hold a Universal CFC certification, a certified lead renovator certification, a general contractors license, I have been bonded for over 15 years, and hold certificates of general liability insurance.
