Hi, I'm Austin Smith.

I've been doing this work since 2014: first as a contractor for private family estates, then as a building engineer at The Austonian, then as a construction manager for Perry Homes. In 2024 I started Austin's Handyman Services to do the work myself, for people I get to know. Most of my customers live in downtown high-rises, and I also work in houses and businesses all over greater Austin.

Running a building taught me how high-rise units actually fail: clogged condensate drains, packed dryer vents, worn seals. That's why so much of what I do is maintenance that stops the expensive call before it happens.

How I work

  1. I'm the one who shows up

    One-person business, on purpose. The person you text is the person in your home.

  2. Price before work

    Estimates are free. If I find something unexpected, I stop and ask first.

  3. Guaranteed

    I guarantee my work, and I keep at it until we're both satisfied.

  4. I'll teach you the easy stuff

    Filters, aerators, dishwasher filters. I'd rather you call me for the jobs that need a pro.

Insured

My certificate of insurance is live online. Building managers can check it anytime.
