Testimonials
“I had Mr. Blakemore do some electrical work at my home; remove and reinstall an electric outlet, replace can light, rearrange stove outlet so the stove could be moved closer to the wall and install an electric outlet in the entry way. Mr. Blakemore is very professional, attentive to the project at hand, perfectionist and takes great pride in his work.
I am so thankful I hired Mr. Blakemore for my project. He is reputable, trustworthy, prompt and does exceptional work. I will definitely be using him in the future for any small or large project. I highly recommend him for all your handyman work.”
“John Blakemore took on a challenging repair job for me. He replaced about half the fence in my back yard after storm damage knocked it out. John was able to take out the existing fencing that was broken—including concreted in posts, line and square up the new replacement posts and slats, and anchor it all securely. The hardware store did not help him either. They sent the wrong posts which I had ordered and he helped re-order.
He did some nice work for us. And he is a solid guy. I would recommend him to do handy work to a friend.”
“I contacted John to build a storage shed at my house. Not only did John do an outstanding job with assembling the foundation, walls, and roof but also he added a window, flower box, workbench and drip edge. John is the only person I’ll be calling for my next project. Fast, quality work at an affordable price.”
“John is a meticulous and skilled resource if you need work done in your home. He has done multiple projects in my home and the outcome has always been excellent. John consistently communicates his progress towards project completion and stays true to his price quotes.”

About Me
My name is John Blakemore
Prior to a career in Construction Management, I was a General Contractor in Southwestern Virginia. Being involved in many different types of large commercial and residential construction projects gave me a thorough and comprehensive repair background and the depth of knowledge to overcome difficult problems and situations.
After relocating to Knoxville, TN to be near family, I found there was a great need for people to have a reliable, knowledgeable, and affordable Handyman to call on.
I started I’m Your Handyman after many years of working on my own properties. I enjoy meeting people and helping them with all manner of small projects.
My construction knowledge started with my father’s guidance as I accompanied him in maintaining the family properties. After high school I entered the Coal Industry where I learned about Industrial electrical, hydraulic and other mechanical systems. I started working with a General Contracting firm and quickly progressed in site work and layout of buildings. I started my own General Contracting firm in the late 80’s, starting out in residential construction and progressed into commercial construction. I acquired my Master Electrical Credential in 1994 with the State of VA.
