General Repairs

Shelving, cabinet hardware, towel bars, curtain rods — the whole punch list in one visit.

Caulking, weatherproofing, gutter clearing, and getting your home ready for mountain winters.

About Luke
Luke Prater smiling in his workshop, holding a power drill in front of bookshelves and a pegboard of tools

I got into this in my early 20s when I bought my first house. Most of the rooms had no windows. January in Georgia with no windows is no joke — I stuffed a towel under the bedroom door, boxed myself in with a space heater, and learned real fast how to replace windows.

That was the beginning. Over the years I've fully renovated four houses on my own — plumbing, basic electrical, drywall, doors, flooring, tile, painting, and just about everything in between. Friends and family have been calling me for advice ever since.

By trade I'm an electrical engineer — I earned my degree at Kennesaw State University's Southern Polytechnic School of Engineering and spent five years working as an electronics engineer. In 2020 I joined my wife's online continuing-education business for digital designers as CTO, running operations, automation, front-end development, and the rest of the technical side of the company.

Now I want to put those skills — the engineering background, the hands-on remodeling, the problem-solving — to work for my neighbors. Real, local help with the stuff around your house that's been on the list too long.

I'm local, insured, and straight with you about what I can and can't do. If a job is outside my scope I'll tell you up front.
