About Us
Meet Annette, President & Founder
Annette’s background in residential repair is long and skilled. Her father was a general contractor and she was exposed to all kinds of projects from an early age. From being on the farm and watching her father build barns and repair barbed wire fences to building her own home at age 19 with her now ex-husband (and yes, they are still friends) to having a specialized career in the plumbing field, highlighted by the instructor position, teaching the plumbing trade at a technical trade school.
Annette is still very much hands-on in the work field as well as making strides in the growth and development of Handyma’am, Inc. Annette attributes her focus and balanced work ethic to her upbringing. ” There were hard times, and we weren’t handed everything on a silver platter. Often we heard the word “no”, not because my parents were mean, but because they wanted us to build character, learn to problem solve and learn how to survive and make good choices. The choices part, well, we all grow.”
