Meet Jesse
Jesse is the owner and the person who'll actually be working on your equipment. With more than six years of hands-on experience on small engines, he's spent his share of time diagnosing the no-starts, the surges and the machines that have been sitting in the shed a little too long.
When you reach out, you talk straight to him. He'll give you a clear, honest read on what your equipment needs and what it'll take to get it running right.

“Jesse was easy to reach, explained what was going on with my chainsaw, and gave me a very fair estimate before doing the work. Got my chainsaw back running like new!”
“Jesse worked on my weed whacker and mower. He was so thorough, detailed, and made sure I knew what I could do to avoid the issue in the future! Definitely my first call next time!”
“I had a tiller that sat for years and rodents had been at it and I called Jesse hoping I wouldn't have to buy a new one. He picked it up, explained the issues, gave me an estimate and a few days later delivered a tiller that ran like new!”
