The beginning of The Small Stuff

Over the last few years I have met many people from various walks of life and they all had something in common, they could use help in some way, shape, or form.

Help is out there, but it can be difficult to locate or afford. I had the thought that there should be a way to pair willing and knowledgable people with those that could use some help. This is where The Small Stuff comes in. We have all been there, you have a small issue and you don’t have the knowledge or time to correct it (broken garbage disposal, sticking doors, glitchy wifi, etc.) so you call a professional, which is great because they can easily fix these problems, but because they have spent years becoming a professional they charge at the rate of their skill. If instead you reach out to The Small Stuff we have the ability to fix or at least troubleshoot most problems. Here is where you benefit, if you have a leaky faucet, need a printer set up, and need a few bushes trimmed, you don’t have to call a plumber, a tech, and a gardener. You can make 1 call and have everything taken care of in the same day without having to manage multiple appointments.

Hi, I’m Carlyn.

I have always loved helping people. It brings me great joy. I am a jack-of-all trades and I love learning new skills. I grew up in a constant remodel project and I would help out wherever I could, even if it was just fetching the tools my parents needed. I have a natural inclination to fixing problems. I don’t like to throw things out, but would rather repair them or at least attempt it even if I fail. A few years ago I bought my first house and spent most of my free time fixing it up. I did everything myself (with help from family). This was a great learning experience. I was able to try my hand at plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, appliance installation, tiling, rebuilding walls, interior and exterior painting, and landscaping.
