Handyman Connection & Window Depot

Marianne Heinzen is Knoxville’s Handyman Connection.  Thirteen years ago, she began helping people find the right craftsman for the job.

Handyman Connection specializes in small to medium home improvements.  That means they will paint, install faucets and even build decks and fences but they don’t do roofing or major remodels. 

 What Handyman Connection does do is match you with a knowledgeable craftsman, someone who has at least 12 years of experience.  When you phone for an appointment, Marianne will take down your information and schedule it at your convenience.  She says, “One of the biggest reasons people call us is because we show up when we say we’ll show up.”  The appointment is for a half hour range such as 9 am to 9:30 am, not between 8 am and noon.

 The craftsman comes out to your home to discuss the work you would like to have performed.  He then calls into the office from your home so that you’re part of everything that’s happening.  After a detailed discussion about the job with Marianne, he presents you with an estimate.  This estimate is a “no more than” and “as low as price” meaning that it will be no higher than or lower than the two amounts on the estimate. 

The customer’s role is to purchase the materials needed for the project.  If you’d like to have a ceiling fan or a new front door, choose the one you want and buy it yourself, or, our craftsmen can assist you with the purchase.  Because many contractors purchase supplies and have a mark-up on those items, this is one way Handyman Connection saves you money.

 Their work carries a 12-month guarantee on the labor portion of the job, unless otherwise stated on the contract, but does not cover the items you purchased for the job - those would be covered by whatever manufacturer’s warranty the item carries. 

 Marianne says she has “an excellent rating with the Better Business Bureau” and she attributes this in part to the care she uses in choosing the craftsmen who work for her.  She doesn’t simply check out their carpentry skills but also checks them out with the Sheriff’s Department and does a national background check.  She says, “I’m here to protect people from unscrupulous craftsmen.”

 Marianne also owns Window Depot USA of East Tennessee.  After installing many manufacturers’ windows over the years, she decided to partner with Window Depot and their SashLite technology.  She explains, “The windows are energy star rated, will not fog up and are built so well that they come with a lifetime warranty which transfers to the next owner.”

She explains, “Window Depot windows can save 30-40% on heating and cooling bills.”  They’re also priced well compared to other major brands.  To determine the efficiency of your windows, Window Depot USA of East Tennessee can send an energy auditor to provide you with an energy assessment. 

Knoxville’s Handyman Connection serves Knoxville and surrounding areas such as Lenoir City, Tellico Village and Maryville.  Their phone number is (865) 777-1500.
