MEET THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK
HI, I’M DMYTRO.
LET’S WORK ON YOUR HOME.
I run HandyDY as an owner-operated home improvement business. You discuss the project directly with me—from the first photos to the details of the estimate.
I enjoy seeing a space come together: a freshly painted room, a finished floor or a carefully tiled shower.
Show me the project.
Send photos, your city, approximate dimensions and what you want to change.
Agree on the scope.
We’ll discuss preparation, materials, timing and what the estimate includes.
Plan the work.
Once the scope is agreed, we’ll arrange the schedule and access to your home.
BEFORE WE GET STARTED
A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS.
Where do you work?
Sumner, Puyallup, Tacoma, Graham and nearby Pierce County communities. Projects farther away are considered based on scope and scheduling.
Can I combine several jobs?

Is a starting price my final quote?
No. Starting rates assume the conditions described above. Preparation, damage, materials, access and special details can change the cost. The estimate will identify your agreed scope.
What about electrical or plumbing changes?
Mention them when describing your project. The scope, required trade qualifications, permit requirements and price are confirmed before scheduling.
