Featured Services
I’ve set up my business to focus on small to medium sized jobs. For example, I repair fences, but I’m probably not the right person to install a brand new fence around your whole yard. There are companies that employ lesser skilled labor that are optimized for larger sized jobs. Likewise, I’m happy to paint a wall or a room but won’t paint your whole house. The same applies to tiling, drywall, roof, and deck projects.
In general, if the job takes more than a few days, I’m probably not your guy. There are companies with crews set up to do those bigger jobs more efficiently and quickly than I can. If you are unsure, give me a call. I’m happy to discuss your project and determine if I’m a good fit or not.
I can, however, install, fix, or improve just about anything, so for small to medium jobs, I’m probably your guy!
Here’s a short list of some of my more common jobs.
NOTE: I usually don’t do drywall repair or installation unless it’s very minor and in a location that isn’t very visible. However, I have a guy to refer you to who has been very responsive, does a great job, and is willing to tackle small jobs.

I was very pleased with his workmanship. My main project was hanging a mirror above our fireplace. He had extra time so took on a few smaller projects to make use of the time left and was just charged the fee for the time slot. Quick response to initial inquiry and project done within a week. Will hire again for any handyman projects.

WOW today, THANKFULLY, I met Tobin Laursen TLC Handyman Services owner/entrepreneur/carpenter/engineer/woodworker/problem solver/and so much more, for the first time! It won't be the last. As a local Realtor I will call him FIRST for future projects (I AM PICKY) and wholeheartedly recommend him to my clients. Thank you, Tobin, for your prompt communication and meticulous adjustment to our white custom cabinetry. He did such an excellent job, I can't even tell there ever was a problem. PROBLEMS: Days before Christmas the refrigerator that was built in to our custom cabinetry DIED. Local appliance dealers could not find a new refrigerator that would fit into the space where our dead one was built in. They were all at least an inch too tall. Therefore we couldn't slide it in to the refrig opening as before and couldn't open the cabinet doors above it without pulling the new refrigerator out 10 inches each time we wanted to open them. NOOOOO! Tobin skillfully cut the doors and bottom cabinet frame for a custom fit! PERFECT! Thank you so much! I am impressed with the whole experience. 
Dan Roberts

We had a wonderful experience with TLC Handyman Services. Tobin was at our home in August and did many repairs to our home. We have old door knobs in our home and he got most of them to function properly again. He fixed our attic access and not only did it well, but found a fix that our fit our budget better than previously expected. He also came up with a very clever fix for an access panel to our basement water gauges. Tobin was very professional, very friendly, and very knowledgable. We plan to use his services again and highly recommend him to others.

Tobin was great to work with. He arrived on time, was professional, friendly and attentive to details. He installed 3 TV mounts, mounted 4 over-sized picture canvases onto the walls and fixed my son’s double closet doors. He stayed true to his 100% satisfaction guaranteed promise.

I’m in the process of making another “honey do” list and will have Tobin come back again!
