About Helping Hands Handyman

A Neighbor You Can
Count On

Hi, I’m Shawn the owner of Helping Hands Handyman — a locally rooted business serving Sussex and Kent Counties of Delaware with honest, reliable help for small home repairs, odd jobs, and everything in between.

I moved to Delaware from Pennsylvania about four years ago to work for another local company. It didn’t take long to notice something: a serious shortage of trustworthy companies that actually show up, do good work, and treat people right — especially when it comes to smaller jobs.

In a community like ours, filled with retirees, widows, and seasonal homeowners, that gap becomes a real problem. And over those four years, I saw it firsthand: good people needing help with important things that weren’t “big enough” for most companies to bother with.

Why I Started Helping Hands

I didn’t just want to be another handyman service. I wanted to build a business rooted in something deeper — integrity, trustworthiness, and a genuine desire to help.

Helping Hands is about being there when others aren’t. We’re not chasing big remodels or long-haul construction jobs. We specialize in the things that often get ignored — the “too small” jobs that still really matter:

  • Installing a grab bar for safety

  • Replacing a lock or smart keypad after someone moves

  • Mounting a TV or assembling furniture

  • Cleaning out a dryer vent or decluttering a garage

  • Coming out quickly when you’re locked out or need urgent help

To me, these aren’t small — they’re essential. And I believe helping someone feel safe, comfortable, and supported in their home is one of the most important jobs there is.

Helping Hands, Not Just a Handyman Service

Yes, “handyman” is the closest title for what we do. But really, Helping Hands says it better. Our mission is simple:

To be the go-to neighbor when you need a hand — no matter how small the task may seem.

We believe the “little things” often have the biggest impact on daily life — especially for those who are aging in place, live alone, or don’t have family nearby. Helping Hands is here to fill that gap and do so with heart.

Our Values

We built this business on three core promises:

🛠️ Integrity – We say what we mean and stand behind every job we take on.
🤝 Trustworthiness – You can count on us to treat your home with care and respect.
❤️ Genuine Helpfulness – We’re here because we believe in helping people, not just making money.
