Hello, my name is Wilson Hoyer, and I’m a state-licensed and insured Home Improvement Contractor, offering light remodeling and handyman services in the Farmington, CT area.

I can be reached using the options in the orange box above.

I’ve been involved in home remodeling and repair for over 25 years. While my degree (and earlier career) is in Information Technology, I have a greater affinity for solving problems with—and improving—tangibles. Such as a home. The ability to see and touch the results of my efforts I find more satisfying than solving tech issues.

In 1994 I started working for a landlord / flipper who taught me much of the basics. Eventually I bought an investment property of my own, and have since performed countless repairs and renovations for my properties. There isn’t really any formal trade school or certification for handymen—we mainly learn by doing. And I’ve done a lot.

In 2020, I left the corporate world, and began offering bathroom remodeling, and other mid-scale services. In most cases, the client would invite me back to address smaller issues, which I realized I also enjoy, so I added handyman services to my offerings.

Then COVID arrived, schools went online, and I had to take a break in order to be home with my two young children. Since then, I’ve continued to perform services on the side for my established clients, while mainly continuing as a stay-at-home dad.

Speaking with candor, I continued only working part-time through referrals because of fear and doubt. While my abilities were proven, and I have full confidence with respect to the work, I questioned my ability to run a successful business. Deciding to face this head on, I dug in, I spent months planning my strategy, getting licensed, taking business courses, and spent some time getting the back end set up before jumping back into making house calls. So here I am, ready to assist.

My mission is to provide the reliable, convenient service of a larger, established franchise, with the personal touch and passion for quality that comes with a company of one.

I know firsthand what it’s like to be at the mercy of a company that fails to measure up: in 2015, one of my rentals suffered catastrophic water damage, necessitating a complete gut of the first floor. It was beyond what I had time to handle, and also covered by insurance. So I brought in a franchised remediation company. Initially it was great. The GC was professional, and inspired confidence. So I left it in his hands—this is why we hire help, after all. All went well for a time. Until the project manager effectively went AWOL, along with his subcontractors. The franchise owner was responsive, but failed to make things right. I eventually had to pay someone else to finish, because the lost rent was costing more. Even the big fish can screw it up, sometimes.

So if you’re someone who takes pride in your home, doesn’t want to micro-manage your contractor, and appreciates quality work, integrity, and value (not to be confused with price), then I’m the one you should consider.

If you want to learn more, or schedule a service, you can reach me via the orange box at the upper RHS of this page. Email, phone, or text—whichever you prefer. My availability fluctuates, so if you’re ready to go, take a moment to get in touch now. I’m often unable to pick up the phone while on a job, but I’ll always get back to you.
