About Tradewinds Handyman
Honest, fairly-priced handyman work in Honolulu.
Our Story
Fair Pricing, No Runaround
Tom O'Malley spent years working for other handyman companies that billed customers $100-150 an hour for his time. He does the same work, with the same tools and materials, for $50 an hour — which is how customers started calling his company "Half Price."
Military, teachers, fire, police, and nurses get 10% off labor. Tom handles most jobs personally, and for anything requiring a licensed plumber or electrician, he'll tell you honestly rather than take on work outside his scope. No job is too small, and no job is too big — for larger projects, he brings in other trusted handymen to get it done.
