About Handyworks Property Services, Inc.
Mr. Mike Zelski is the president and founder of HandyWorks Property Services Inc. Born in Amesbury, Massachusetts, Mike grew up in a blue-collar environment that included a parochial school education. His early values were also shaped by his lengthy involvement in the local YMCA. From a very early age, Mike was exposed to a blue-collar education that included learning a variety of trades to help maintain his family's 19th-century New England farm house and provide him with the skills that would support him while attending school.
Following his Honorable Discharge from the United States Air Force, Mike earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from California Polytechnic University in Pomona, California. In the Air Force, Mike met his wife Karen, and both of their children were born in California while Mike and Karen were pursuing their education. Mike spent the next 25 years in marketing and customer service but never lost his passion for honing the trades he learned in his early years. During the following years, Mike and his wife bought and renovated several "project" homes, performing most, if not all, the trades required in the renovations.
In the late 1990s, Mike was allowed to help a friend build his commercial contracting business. Mike was initially responsible for securing new projects, but he quickly found himself managing many of them as well. That chance opportunity ignited Mike's passion to pursue his State Contractor License and establish a business built on the values he had developed at an early age that had served him throughout his professional career—honesty and integrity.
Mike Zelski founded HandyWorks Property Services, Inc. in 2002, and within a few years, its annual gross sales exceeded $1,000,000.00. The company was built on Mike's belief that INTEGRITY is its number one responsibility and is best accomplished through "Res Non-Verba" - "Deeds, not Words." With Mike's extensive customer service background, he is focused on providing top-quality service to all his clients. HandyWorks has built its business by developing a loyal customer base and a strong referral network.
