Learn to repair your home as a homeowner, at a price you can afford.
You turn the wrench. Seth shows you how.
Monte Carroll, Shauna's dad, grew up in Pleasant View. He became a union journeyman plumber and backflow specialist, and he taught at Ogden Technical College and Salt Lake Community College. On Saturdays his kids went along on jobs with him, or helped with repairs around the house. That's how he taught us.
In the homes he worked in, Monte saw that many older homeowners needed more than a plumbing repair. They needed a light bulb changed, a door realigned, or small changes that helped them stay in their homes as they aged.
When Seth and Shauna bought their first home, Monte taught Seth how to lay tile, replace doors and run trim. Those projects are where the plans for this business began.
Shauna's brother Porter idolized his dad. We all did. When Porter was three or four, he became obsessed with a cartoon handyman and carried a tool everywhere. He would look up at Dad and ask, “Can we fix that?” And Dad would say, “Yes, we can.” He said it to all of us, about anything we tried.
Monte passed away while working as a facilities maintenance manager, before this part of the story. We named our company after his words. His integrity, and his belief in teaching people to repair and change their own homes, is what this Learning Center is built on.
Utah law doesn't allow handymen to replace plumbing or electrical fixtures like faucets, toilets, light fixtures and ceiling fans. As the homeowner, you're allowed to do that work on your own home.
So we come to you with the tools and the know-how, and Seth walks you through it step by step, in person, while you do the work. You save the cost of a plumber or electrician on the small jobs, keep that money for the jobs that really need one, and you know how to do it next time.

No. Seth brings the tools. You buy the parts from the shopping list we send, so you get to keep the right ones for your home.
No. You do the work on your own home and Seth teaches you, step by step, right beside you. That's what makes it a lesson, and it's why you'll be able to do it again next time.
That's what Seth is there for. He's done hundreds and hundreds of these repairs and will walk you through anything unexpected.
