"99 problems. Call Mat."

My name is Mat. After a 28-year career in IT, I decided in spring 2026 to turn my hobby into my profession for the second time in my life: my own handyman business. Fixing and building things is in my blood.

"What I bring from my IT career might be just as valuable as my hands-on experience: I'm used to communicating clearly, planning ahead, keeping my word, and turning up on time."
Mat Merx, Handymat Services

With me, you know exactly where you stand. You get an honest estimate upfront, I show up when I say I will, and if anything changes, you'll hear it from me first. That also means a clear invoice, a clear agreement on what is and isn't included in the price, and honest communication if anything comes up during the job.

I genuinely enjoy the work: rolling up my sleeves, solving problems, building things well, and seeing the result. When a job calls for extra hands — heavy lifting or highly specialist parts — I bring in help where needed. I only take on jobs I know I can deliver well, and where I can accurately estimate the time and work involved upfront.
