Testimonials
I grew up in construction, and after a tour of duty in the USAF, I worked in commercial construction for more than 10 years. Then I moved into home repair, where I built up a client base almost entirely from word of mouth. I kept many of my clients until they moved away or into a place with its own maintenance service. Some clients have had me doing jobs for over 30 years. I smile remembering one client who tracked me down after I had moved 40 minutes away from her - I assumed she would just replace me, but she wanted me back!
I have had clients who trusted my work so highly they recommended me to their adult children, often children I had watched grow up over the years.
I enjoyed a working/friend relationship with a builder and his realtor wife. She loved my abilitity to make a home inspection report repair list evaporate quickly and the convenience of needing to call only me, most times. I could write a book about that amazing couple and my experiences with their home, realty clients, rental properties, their grown up children - AND PARENTS!

"I've used Michael Dare to do everything from running power to the far corner of my ranch for my well system and everything in between to upgrading my irrigation system and including a fire hose connection. From sealing off my crawlspaces to installing a custom dog bath station. He responded to emergencies and continued support until I sold the property. Then he worked for the new owners!"
