About Us
Honest Work, Fair Prices
Tradewinds Handyman was founded on a simple idea: charge fairly for good work. Owner Tom O'Malley spent years being sent out by other handyman companies that billed $100-150 an hour for his time — so he set out on his own, charging $50 an hour for the same work, same tools, same materials.
Military, teachers, fire, police, and nurses get 10% off labor. No job too small, no job too big — and if a project needs extra hands, Tom brings in other trusted handymen to get it done.
