At Odd Man Out Handyman, we’re proud to have two incredibly talented painters who bring skill, care, and genuine passion to every project. Chris shines indoors with his detailed brushwork, non‑toxic paint choices, and ability to handle all the little finishing touches that make a room feel complete. Merv thrives outdoors, transforming decks, fences, and exterior spaces with expert painting and staining that stand up to the elements. Together, they bring a level of craftsmanship and respect that makes them a joy to have around — and a huge part of what makes Odd Man Out Handyman a name people trust.

At Odd Man Out, we’ve learned that handyman work is about far more than repairs. Over time, the jobs turn into conversations, the repeat calls turn into trust, and the people we work with — homeowners, property managers, and even each other — become long‑term friends. When you show up for the same folks year after year, you start rooting for their success just as much as your own. It becomes a community built on reliability, shared goals, and genuine connection. We fix things, sure — but the real work is the relationships we build along the way.

As we welcome a brand‑new year, all of us at Odd Man Out Handyman want to pause and thank the people who made this past year meaningful. From homeowners who opened their doors to us, to property managers who trusted us with their busiest days, to the long‑term friendships built through everyday repairs — we’re grateful for every connection. This work has always been about more than tools and projects; it’s about community, trust, and the relationships that grow one job at a time. Here’s to a new year filled with fresh starts, continued partnerships, and the chance to keep showing up for the people who make our work worthwhile.

Merv and Chris are more than builders—they are men whose lives are anchored in family. Merv’s quiet act of tucking his daughter’s baby kitten into his tool belt while she played is a snapshot of his heart: strong enough to carry the weight of his work, yet gentle enough to protect what his child loves most. Chris, with his beautiful family of seven, lives the same way—balancing the demands of building with the deeper calling of fatherhood.

Together, they remind us that true craftsmanship isn’t measured only in beams and bricks, but in the foundations of love, trust, and devotion they lay within their homes. The heart behind these men is for their families, and that is the legacy they continue to build every day.
