Michael started The Handyman Can RI in Cumberland in 2001. Over the years his work also grew into full-scale construction through Old School Construction RI, while The Handyman Can RI stayed focused on homeowner repairs, updates, and practical improvement work.
That broader experience helps homeowners because even a smaller job benefits from good judgment, hands-on attention to detail, and an honest conversation about the best path forward.
Today, The Handyman Can RI is focused on repairs, updates, punch-lists, painting, carpentry, flooring, bathrooms, kitchens, and homeowner projects that need an experienced local point of contact.

Michael brings a broader construction background to projects, which helps homeowners get sound advice even when the job starts small.
A realistic point of contact
You can have a direct conversation about the scope, timing, budget, and whether the project is the right fit for this brand or better served through Old School Construction RI.
Grounded local service
The goal is to help Rhode Island homeowners get solid work done without a complicated process or avoidable miscommunication.
A note from Michael
I started this business in Cumberland in 2001 and have always believed in listening to what the client wants, helping them stay on budget, and keeping communication clear from start to finish. Over the years the work has grown into full-scale construction through Old School Construction RI, but I still care about the smaller repairs and home improvement projects that help people take care of their homes the right way.

Larger Remodeling & Construction
Michael also owns Old School Construction RI for larger remodeling and construction work.
