My Story

I Didn't Build This From a Boardroom

I built it from 20 years of crawling through crawl spaces, rewiring outlets at 10pm for a single mom who couldn't afford a $300 service call, and fixing things people didn't know how to fix.

"I never upsold. I never fluffed a quote. I gave the same price to the mansion on the hill that I gave to the house in the tough neighborhood. That's not a business strategy — that's a conviction."

During COVID, I started Agape Handyman Services from scratch. $80,000+ a year. 750+ jobs. Zero paid ads. Just trust, skill, and a work ethic that doesn't clock out.

Every job I took — from 2 full basement builds to a dozen kitchen remodels — required the same skill: building trust before asking for results. They didn't pick me because I had the best website. They picked me because they could trust my word and my skill backed it up.

QuickAskDAD is what happens when you take that conviction and give it to everyone.

What People Say
"

Chris is one of the most organized and service-driven men I know. He oversaw an entire church renovation — finished ahead of schedule, turned an outdated space into something state of the art. He did all this on top of his full-time job. A man of integrity who leads by example.
