Testimonials
As a first-time homebuyer, and a small business owner of Monumental Market, I was excited to take on the responsibility of maintaining a home - but I didn’t have the time to learn everything through trial and error. The New Homeowner Orientation and Manual service gave me a clear, simple, and completely personalized plan. Marie’s knowledge is truly unmatched; she was thoughtful and thorough, walking through my home from top to bottom, explaining the essentials in a way that felt manageable rather than overwhelming. The result was a customized maintenance plan for my home’s specific systems and covered important homeowner basics that tells me exactly what needs to be done, how often, and how to handle issues if they arise. I now feel confident, organized, and far less stressed! I can’t recommend this service enough for anyone who wants to care for their home proactively instead of reactively.
Kelsey Munger - Owner of Monumental Market
Working with Marie the JP Handywoman was a pleasure. She is competent, capable, thorough and an excellent communicator- she gave an accurate and fair estimate, completed the project on time and followed up afterwards. I was so happy with her work, and she has a great sense of humor as well. Highly recommend!
-Katrine Burkitt, Owner of Sunnyside Organizing
Who We Are
Our Origin Story
JP Handywoman was inspired by my own difficulties tracking the required maintenance tasks for our JP home.
Despite over 10 years of work in construction, I was failing at maintaining my home.
There were simply too many tasks, each with a different recommended maintenance schedule, to keep track of.
I created a tool to keep track of all the tasks and easily run a report of all past-due and upcoming tasks.
JP Handywoman’s mission is enable busy homeowners to focus on their lives, not their home’s to-do list, with confidence that their home is properly maintained and nothing is falling through the cracks.
— Marie Meehan, owner
