Libby and Mike McCalley “There are many ways to grow my business, and by having this peer group I can harvest ideas that I think will work best for me.” Our Story JoAnn McCabe “My advice to owners is know your customer, master the basics, follow the system and reach out for help because we have an entire system who will help you succeed.” My Story Wayne & Kim Owczarzak “If you have a solid plan of where you want to be in five or ten years, but know you need a little help in getting there, then a franchise has the missing pieces to your puzzle." Our Story Allen & Penny Ellison “I’ve never asked an owner for anything that they haven’t helped me with almost immediately. We have a system of great people.” Our Story Prev Next close Libby and Mike McCalley Mr. Handyman Owners Since 2008 Libby and Mike's Story Libby and Mike's Background Mike was the handy kid in the neighborhood growing up, doing lawns and leaves when younger, and eventually turned that into painting, drywall, minor drywall and roll roofing work on garages. He worked for a builder for two summers during college before doing his own handyman work his last summer before graduating. As a homeowner and hobbyist woodworker, he also updates bathrooms, painted every home he has ever owned, built furniture, shelving and the like. He and Libby have an apiary and he builds their hives. He says he doesn’t have the skills to do the work his staff does day in and day out (not quickly anyway), but he has a good idea of how the work is done, and has the business background to operate and manage a business that does this type of work. Additionally, during his corporate career he’d call on contractors and service providers when his busy schedule simply didn’t allow him to complete something that needed done, and it was always a miserable experience. In two different instances, home additions took much longer than the contractor promised. Weeks’ worth of work took 2 months. A 6-week room addition, took 4 months. His IT career was supporting call centers and customer service organizations and he lamented how badly the ‘trades’ needed a ‘white collar’ customer service approach. “Mr. Handyman was my opportunity to bring this idea to fruition. 10 years later, this is still the backbone of our operating philosophy.” How many years? 9 Why Mr. Handyman? “ Having spent almost 25 years in the corporate world, and dreaming of being my own boss, my layoff from Citigroup as the financial crises unfolded seemed the opportune time. We explored many concepts with a franchise consultant, but Mr. Handyman connected with us.” What were they doing before? Mike: IT professional for GE (12 years) and Citigroup (11 years). Last position held prior to MRH was as divisional CIO for a Citigroup business in Jacksonville, FL. Mike has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and a Master of Science in Business. Libby: Bachelor of Science in Marketing and a 10-year career in hospitality/restaurant management before starting a family and raising three boys before opening Mr. Handyman with Mike. Key Benefit of Mr. Handyman franchise ownership? Hands down, the key benefit to owning a Mr. Handyman franchise vs. opening my own home repair and improvement company, is the owner peer group. With 125+ other owners out there, no matter the situation that I run across, I can find somebody that’s had a similar situation and I can pick their brain. As we’ve grown over the last 10 years, I’ve always had a few rabbits (larger, growing owners) ahead of me and I’ve monitored what they were doing and how I might leverage it. If I was an independent home repair and improvement company, I wouldn’t have this peer group in other cities, and everybody in Jacksonville would be potential competitors and less likely to share as openly. close JoAnn McCabe Mr. Handyman Owner Since 2008 JoAnn's Story JoAnn's Background JoAnn McCabe is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, with a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering.
