Custom projects:
Do you want something custom made around your house, yard, or garden? The best way for me to help you on these things is find pictures in home or garden decor type magazines and pull pictures of what you would like to have.

Need something welded or fabricated out of steel? Let me know what you need.


Garage Straightening: Does your garage lean a few inches, or maybe looks like it's about to fall over? I can fix most of them back to plumb and square or darn near. See before and after pictures, click here.

It makes great economic sense to fix your old garage rather than build a new one when you consider the costs to tear down an old garage, remove debris, and build a new double garage with a new slab; as much as $20,000.

Another advantage of fixing rather than building new is that city code may demand you move the location of your garage if building new.

I can get your old garage straightened in most cases for about $950.00. This includes new bracing to hold it in place again. This covers a common 20' X 20' double garage.

Additional costs need to be considered if your garage is larger, two-story, or has rotted framing or rotted sill/sole plates that need to be replaced. Or if the cement footings under the walls have settled or have disintegrated and need to be replaced.

NOTE: Your interior garage walls should not be finished, just studs. If walls have to be opened up to studs, this obviously costs more to do.

I'm one of the few (if not the only one) that does this service, most people want to sell you a whole new garage. And sometimes that could be the best route, but I can fix the majority of cases.

Call me: John Schulte, 612-788-0608

Do you have projects around the house you would like to do yourself, but need help to learn how to do them?

I can help you learn how to do your own home repairs while you work on your own home. Over time you can save hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars by knowing how to be handy. Plus you get your projects done while you learn.

I’ll come to your home and guide you on the projects you want to get done. I will be your personal instructor as you do the job. Once you learn a skill, you can do your own work when needed from then on, saving you money.

Call or email me with what you want to do. Personal, One-on-One Training is just $60.00 per hour. I will provide the tools for you to use.

Other areas I can help: I can teach you what tools to buy to have around the house, and what not buy.
