About us

When I was 5, mom caught me taking apart a watch and a toaster at my grand parents home. She scolded me, but grandpa insisted that she let me be. I fixed the toaster. The watch, well it didn’t work in the first place. When I was 15, my mom hired my cousin Jim, 10 years my senior, to finish our basement. Being an ever curious young man, I asked Jim questions and he put me to work alongside him. We worked a night or two a week for 2 years. Then Jim became busy raising his own family and work came to a standstill. Mom wanted the basement finished for my older sisters’ graduation. Jim asserted that I could finish it. I wasn’t so sure, but he said he’d tell me what to do over the phone. He did, and the job was completed on time, much to the delight and pride of mom. In 1977 I purchased and lived in a duplex. I graduated Vo-Tech in 1971 with "Outstanding Student" and "Perfect Attendance" Awards. In 1980 I purchased and live in one side of a double bungalow. The ensuing 21 years of pulling permits, passing city, fire department and HUD inspections made for an excellent background to performing construction, installation and repairs properly. From 1972 to 1983 I worked for Gould Battery (also known as GNB). I worked in engineering at the Mendota Heights facility. I was a product and applications technologist, a fancy title, but it contributed to my handyman skills by requiring problem solving. Some of the engineers owned duplexes and we would problem solve together at lunchtime. Hence, many of the jobs I got, challenge me to solve a problem along the way to making the repair, installation. In 1995 I began my Handyman business. In 1997 I sold my duplexes. In 1998, I got my license and became incorporated. Today I enjoy listening for and producing my customers intended results. “Being Of Service - I Love It” John Thomas CEO, The Handyman Can®!!! Inc.

John Thomas, The Handyman Can!!, was just the guy I needed to fix our garage. I made an appointment with him a couple weeks out, as Johnny is a busy man. He charged a base fee for making the appointment, which covered showing up and the first hour. I was surprised, but impressed with how smart a business practice that was. Johnny confirmed by text the night before, and showed up as scheduled. He arrived with a "rolling workshop" in his large van, prepared to work. He quickly assessed the damage and work required. He made a list for my husband to get from the home store, which saved us money for the time involved. Johnny was able to rebuild the frame of the wall to the concrete block. We were not able to find new vinyl siding in the size on the garage. Johnny was able to repair the pieces that were damaged in order to re-use them. He brought equipment necessary to form aluminum wrap to the trim piece on the garage door frame. He was very detail conscious to be sure everything was square and the door would go up and down properly. By he time Johnny was done, the garage looked good as new. He did a beautiful job, while working in the hot sun. The total cost was $876 for a total of 5 hours work. Johnny is a talented professional with all the necessary equipment, and charges accordingly. I would recommend The Handman Can!!! for quality home repairs.
Description of Work: I accidently hit the side of the garage door with my car, causing structural and finish damage. I looked for a handyman who had carpentry skills to rebuild the base of the wall, but also had the skills to finish vinyl siding and trim with aluminum wrap.

Response from The Handyman Can!!! Inc
Dear Customer, Wow. I could not have hired a marketing agent to capture your service experience as well as you did. Thank you for sharing your surprise of my 1st hour base fee and being impressed with that as a business practice. "Rolling Workshop - Large Van"...forgive me if I steal that and use it in a commercial. Perhaps you and your husband in the commercial? Just a thought...for now. I got to know your husband, a former local cable TV personality (though I never did see the show). I could tell he was a character and not too easily won over. By job's end I couldn't have been happier to have met him, as he shared stories (one historical newspaper chronicled mystery). Thank you so very much for your detailed and eloquent review, among the best I have received. Please call on me again even if you hit the opposite garage wall...who cares...stuff happens. Sincerely, Johnny John C. Thomas CEO The Handyman Can!!! Inc. "Being Of Service - I Love It"

Dear Customer, I have been broken into in my lifetime. It's very upsetting. I was glad to know that no harm came to you and your loved ones, save the items taken. It was nice to hear that a neighbor assisted by making your home temporarily secure. Thank you for taking time in your already busy life to provide this review. Thank you for the hospitality in sharing a cup of delicious soup. It was a pleasure being at your home and meeting your family. Please call on me again.

John showed us what was happening BEHIND the tile (which was not pretty - wet wall, mold, etc.) We opted to get the materials ourselves, so while he was working on removing tile, my husband went to purchase materials. John made excellent use of time, and informed us when he was "off the clock" and when he was "back on the clock." It turned out to be an all day job with ripping out, vacuuming, putting in tile and sheet rock, regrouting, etc. I greatly appreciated his tips and coaching regarding best materials to use and on how we can do some of the work ourselves in future. He's a great guy and easy to be around, and we'll be hiring him in future.
Description of Work: We need several projects done including window trim and tile repair in the bathroom. Since it was rainy the day of our appointment, we opted to start on the bathroom tile (a corner that involved floor tile and wall tile.)

Dear Customer, I made good use of the time off the clock. Softball started on Monday of that week. Of all the days to pick, my team plays on the day the phone rings a lot. I was behind in my calls and was able to catch up while you got the materials. I enjoyed that you and Mr. took me up on watching and asking questions. Good luck with your craft project using your new found grout info. I will finish the remaining exterior work when the weather clears up. Thank you for writing the review prior to total job completion. Sincerely, Johnny "Being Of Service - I Love It" John C. Thomas Owner, The Handyman Can Inc.

Johnny was great. He made sure to show me what he was doing and teaching me at the same time. I can now take care of any other windows that need repair in the future. :-). Additionally, while he was here, I asked him to fix an outlet outside and he was right on it. I appreciated his counsel/coaching and responsiveness to my requests.

Dear Customer, You are among my customers who observe as I work. For the readers, I send out a "Pre-Estimate" which includes this invitation: "You are welcome to learn how to do the work by observing and asking questions. Please keep in mind if this is an hourly job, you are being charged." The truth is, I can work and talk AND chew gum at the same time. Over the years many others have showed me how, and sometimes it took a while to catch on. Goodness they were patient. A pleasure being with you. Please call on me again as need be.

Dear Customer, I recall it was last fall and too cold to do the test for a roof leak. Sure enough, you called this spring. FYI to the readers: First we looked for sunlight peaking into the attic around the chimney where you suspected a leak. No sunlight. Then with cell phone communication, you in the attic, me on the roof with a garden hose, I moved the hose to different locations around the chimney as you replied when a leak appeared and to varying intensities. I hope to run into you at your 'retirement' job at the Science Museum. I find it fascinating that a former engineer now designs and assembles displays including Jurassic variety. Please call on me again as need be. Sincerely, Johnny "Being Of Service - I Love It" John C. Thomas Owner, The Handyman Can Inc.

Great. Johnny was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He is pricey, but he was efficient and moved immediately from one task to another, so as not to waste time. He accomplished more in 4 hours than I could have done on my own in 4 days. There was one task that he couldn't fully complete because it required a plumber, but he was very open about that.
Description of Work: We had a LONG list (12 tasks), ranging from installing door sweeps to fixing a gas fireplace to installing shelving.

John called within hours of my posting to Angie's List. He explained his pricing and we set up an appointment. He arrived on time and performed the work as promised. He finished a few minutes short of the minimum one hour and so he asked if there was anything else he could help us with. As it happens there was. Five minutes and five bucks later - it took him a few minutes longer than the hour already purchased - a persistently stickly front door lock was fixed. I gave John a B on pricing, which may be unfair. I admit that I may not know enough about the repair market to assess his prices. I thought his prices were a bit high, although he did give us a discount for contacting him through Angle's List. We've got John's number on speed dial now; we know who to call when there are repairs needed on our house that we can't manage ourselves. Excellent service, delightful man.

I think the rate quoted to me was $240 for the first hour and $120 for every hour after that. I think that's an outrageous rate for a single individual. It's more expensive than a licensed plumber or electrician. Heck, most doctors don't make that much. I ended up going with Home Depot. They did a great job for half the price.

It went well. John went up the ladder to the second story roofline. He cutout the rotted area. I went to get the new board to save time at Home Depot. He helped to patch some holes in the siding.

I got him from Angie's List. He did the work but he was very expensive, much more than I expected. He took 5 hours to hang 3 things up on my wall. I wouldn't call him again, he was just too expensive. He cost by the hour. It was 225 an hour and I thought it was outrageous.

Dear Customer, You are correct, it did take a quite a while to hang your three items. Upon completing the 1st 3, you added a 4th item to repair a kitchen drawer that sticks. May I say, the foyer area was tight to set a ladder 16 feet up. The 2nd was on a stairway and it did take time to arrange a scaffold of ladders on the steps, find the studs and center the item in your desired location. The 3rd item was a wall mounted pot and pan rack. For all of the above, I do find the studs so your items are sure to remain securely in place. I'm sorry to hear you find my rates high. If you do not find someone less expensive, please feel free to call on me again. Sincerely, John C. Thomas The Handyman Can Inc.

Johnny was able to do the job the day after I called. I was thinking it would be fall since I called so late. The promptness was a big bonus. The house is almost 100 years old so I knew he was going to run into challenges. The window is in, and he framed around it to cover up all the mess of the old uneven brick. The frame is deep and he made it so I can use it as a shelf (working with NO straight edges). I rated quality a "B" because it was a basement window and didn't have to be beautiful and flawless like an upstairs window in a million dollar house. It was more than sufficient for the application. The guy knows how to work hard and get it done.
Description of Work: Replace basement window; dryer exhaust vent.

Response from The Handyman Can!!! Inc
Dear Customer, That was a fun one. It was the first glass block window that I used a diamond edge grinder to cut the glass in one cell to run the dryer vent through. Ended up doing another later in the year. Thanks for taking my suggestions to add a shelf to the window and letting the folks know in your review that none of the measurements were square. I'm glad you like the end result. Thank you for sharing a plate of dinner and sharing the recipe with my wife. It was delicious. Lest I forget, thanks for finding and shipping my box cutter to me. You are a person of integrity. I wish you all the best and much happiness. Sincerely, Johnny "Being Of Service - WE Love It"

Job easily completed and fridge was replaced with the new one which John had gone and picked up. He then took the old one to be recycled. John responded promptly to our inquiry and did the work 3 days later. He offered suggestions on different options for the replacement. He acted very professionally and when he was delayed getting here he had phoned to let us know the new time
Description of Work: A under counter refrigerator needed to be replaced
