Our Handyman Services
Our goal is simple—we want you to be entirely satisfied with every project we complete.
Most people don’t have the time or expertise to complete small home improvement and repair projects.
We were tired of seeing people spend too much money on poor workmanship or be taken advantage of by contractors who take payment and then don’t start or finish a project. That’s why we provide professional handyman services that support a worry-free experience.
Our pledge is simple — we promise to treat you and your home with care and respect.
All of our handyman services, whether a home repair, home improvement, or small construction project, are backed by a 5-Point Promise that guarantees you will be entirely satisfied with our handyman services.

All email inquiries will also be returned within two hours of receipt during normal business hours.

Clean, Organized, and Safe Work Areas
We promise to maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area that minimizes disruption to your family and your daily routines. Before starting any construction work, we lay down protective coverings, install dust barriers around the work area, and stack materials and tools as neatly as possible.
Being considerate and respectful of you and your home is important to us. Rest assured; you can also expect our technicians to never smoke on your property.

Andy Haste
Owner
Andy Haste is the president and owner of Home Care and Repair, the visionary behind the handyman service division, and the manager of operations. Andy’s 20+ years in the home services industry started when he was a young man working for his father’s residential construction business.
Early on, he learned by listening and taking the time to understand Lafayette homeowners’ needs and expectations. Andy eventually took his working knowledge of building materials, building codes, and blueprint reading and estimating and in 2008, turned it into Riverside Construction—a thriving design-build remodeling business.
One of his best qualities is the ability to listen. When his Riverside customers began requesting handyman services, he wanted to fulfill his mission of serving others. Because of this, Andy launched our professional handyman division in 2021.
