I'm Flemming, and I operate Better Call Fletch the Handyman.

Building on over 35 years of DIY homeowner experience, I started the business with encouragement from our Realtor following a move from Edmonton to Phoenix (I have gladly traded minus 40c for plus 40.  You don't have to shovel hot!). BCF has formally been in operation since February 2024.

We should work to live, not live to work.  Having a business that permits flexible scheduling allows me to make time for the things I enjoy, while providing the income to pay for those activities.  

The bonus is earning that income by doing things that my clients appreciate.

Favorite Thing About Being a Business Owner:
The freedom to serve others with heart and honesty. Every job I do gives me purpose. Being able to help people, hear their stories, and build something real—even while battling health challenges—is something I’ll never take for granted. I may not have a big crew or fancy setup yet, but I show up every day with passion, gratitude, and a will to grow.

Looking forward to connecting with other hard-working folks here!

Hi my name is Dee and I’m the owner of Mirelect Contractors.

We’re an appliance repair and handyman services company and we’ve been in business for 7 years with 25+ years professional experience. 

My customers when I worked for a few Big Box Companies that sale appliances and such always call me the Miracle Man thus is why my company name is what it is and I feel I help out my customers and community by offering an honest diagnosis of their issues and a fair price for them to consider repairing vs replacing. And what a like about owing my own business is the capability to available for my new born twins who are my Miracle Babies because they came at 22 weeks and 1 day (4) months premature and are 18 months old now and keep me on my toes and are the lives of my life now. So being able to be there for them is really important and being able to be back doing what I love to do which is help others and be on the road somewhere different every few days, rather than stuck in a factory or a desk all day is a big difference. But I’m just blessed to be doing what I like and getting paid for it. 

Hello! I'm Lary, Yes with one R because my parents couldn't afford the other I guess. I own Renovation Dudes, LLC in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have been doing this for 15 years. My favorite part of being a business owner is the freedom to watch my daughters grow.

Hi! My name is Corissa Jones, I lead in the Marine Installation, Diving & Mooring Services Sector. We have been refining this business for the last 5 years. My favourite thing about being a small biz owner? Having the freedom to shape a business that reflects our values—professionalism, connection, and care—and seeing the real impact it has on our clients, our team, and community. Plus, we love the challenge of carving out a niche in a unique industry and setting a new standard along the way.

What is your favorite thing about being a business owner? Turning something most people never think about—clean, safe water—into real peace-of-mind for customers, while having the freedom to blend technical know-how with a dash of creativity and humor every day.

My name is Marta Dixson. My husband and I own a gutter company called Scout Gutter Solutions. We've been in business for over 17 years! My favourite part of being a business owner is that I get to work on solutions that directly improve homeowners’ lives, while constantly growing and challenging myself to be better every single day, and I get to do it all side by side with my husband!

Hello!  My name is Sonia Tolson.  Greg and I are co-owners of Tolson Irrigation Specialists LLC.  We have been in business her in Tucson for over 47 years.  Our favorite thing about owning our own business is the independence to make our own decisions about what is best for the company and our employees.  The flexibility is nice too, but as we all know - when you own your own business and have employees depending on you for stable jobs and income, sometimes we work more hours than we would like.  That said, you want a bigger paycheck, you just work a little smarter.  =)
