Grand Rapids Handyman Services by Michael Carpenter
Michael Gives Back
I started Michael Gives Back with a simple belief: sometimes the smallest projects make the biggest difference in how a home feels. Not everyone has the tools, time, or know-how to knock out those lingering fixes — but I do. And I want to put that to work for my neighbors here in Grand Rapids.
This isn’t a big business. It’s not an agency. It’s just me, showing up with care, craftsmanship, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
If you need a hand, I’m here to help.

Why This Exists
This page is part of something simple: giving back.
The same hands that built the early YARDHAUS prototypes in the shop are the hands that show up here — ready to help with the everyday projects that make a home work better.
This is a way to stay connected to the community, extend a little generosity, and make life easier for the people around me. Good lighting changes a backyard; small acts of help change a neighborhood.
