About Us
Ed Burt
Ed has had an interest in how things work virtually all his life. His father, Big Ed, was his mentor, having been a "handyman" all of his non-9-to-5 life. Ed was the one to hold the flashlight as Big Ed reassembled the engine of a 1951 DeSoto. Ed also supplied a great deal of the labor on many of Big Ed's home improvement and repair projects (there were many.)
Ed disassembled a lawnmower and its engine by the time he was in fourth grade (it was NOT the family lawnmower!) By the time he was in 9th grade, he was able to completely disassemble, then reassemble, the lawnmower...and have it run. (Ed also disassembled his portable reel-to-reel tape recorder in 6th grade. Never ran again.)
Ed is a trained, Lead Safe Renovator, with expertise in lead-safe work practices to help protect you and your family during renovations and provide proper clean-up when renovations are complete. He was the first individual to earn this designation within the New London - Wilmot - Sutton - Sunapee - Grantham area.
Besides loving the handyman business, Ed has a wide variety of interests and hobbies including his family, frugal living, energy conservation, personal and behavioral finance, and small business consulting. He has a BS degree in Biological Sciences from NC State University and an MBA from the Rutgers Graduate School of Management.
Mark Brady
Having been born and raised right here in New London, Mark is already a familiar face to many of our clients. His recognizability is also enhanced by having spent 25 years in the local retail building supply industry: he was manager of both the RP Johnson’s Andover and Sunapee locations and spent time at Ace Hardware and Emery Waterhouse.
Mark began honing his handyman skills as a youngster when at the age of three, he was caught removing covers from electrical outlets. Thankfully, he did not discover the jolting effect of 120 volts coursing through his little frame and continues to enjoy working with his hands. Coupled with his admiration of craftsmanship, a love of tools, and a passion for pleasing clients, Mark brings much value to the business and ultimately our clients.
Mark received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from the University of New Hampshire and is a bona fide sports enthusiast (hockey, baseball, golf, skiing and football). He loves his family and is trying to relive (hang on to?) his youth through his kids. We’ll keep you posted on how he is doing with that.
