HANDYMAN SERVICES

Serving Waynesboro City, Nelson County, Crozet and Ivy, Virginia

Hello. I’m Rick Pennock.

After 32 years working for the second largest fire department in Virginia and serving as a chief officer for 7 years, my wife and I moved to the Afton area. I spent my entire career solving problems and helping others, and this is something I want to continue during my retirement. My late father was "mister-fix-it;" so, as my family says, it comes to me naturally. 

I know it can be stressful to allow strangers into your home. As a firefighter/medic, I went into people’s homes when they were most vulnerable. I had their trust and hope to earn yours.
