About Me
RC&G is an acronym — it stands for "Richard, Charlene, and the Girls", because it's a great reminder of what I'm working for. I'm Richard, and my wife and daughters are the most important thing in the world to me. Also hugely important to me is doing great work in my business as a handyman.
I've always been mechanically inclined and good at fixing whatever's broken. With decades of experience, now I'm truly a master handyman. Whatever you need — I'm here to get it done. Looking forward to meeting you.
