JEFF SHUMAN | Lead Handyman
We have been lucky to have Jeff’s diverse handyman knowledge, skill, and can-do attitude on the team since he joined us as a Lead Handyman in 2021! He is always up for whatever job comes his way, from resurfacing countertops to electrical work and everything in between.
ROB ROBINSON | Handyman
SAM ANDERSON | Lead Handyman
Sam brings several years of experience in carpentry, home repair, and renovations to our team, and we're glad to have him! Some of his favorite projects include installing trim and creating custom furniture. Sam and his wife, Whitney, live here in Black Mountain with their two sons. When not at work, you can often find Sam knee deep in woodworking projects, playing and recording music, and enjoying our local food and beverage scene.
PIERCE WOMACK | Handyman
RYDER VAN DYKE | Handyman
Ryder’s positive attitude and willingness to learn a new skill make him an excellent member of the team. Ryder says his favorite part of the job is being able to see a revitalized transformation, and knowing he had a hand in it – whether it was a complete remodel or a simple coat of stain on a deck. Ryder is newly married to his wife Diana and loves studying history, playing board games, reading good books, and watching hockey!

JONATHAN BROWN | Logistics Coordinator
Mark and Kenda Mullert started Black Mountain Handyman in July 2018. They built a respectable handyman business with a dedication to integrity, respect, and great communication that services the Swannanoa Valley. Since the very beginning, Mark and Kenda have operated the company with a clear vision to provide quality workmanship at fair prices, and build a team that could help improve customer homes. Though they have moved out of state and handed the ownership reins over, their vision remains at the heart of our company.
“Workmanship was impressively good: the focus was to “get it right”. A notable component of the Black Mountain Handyman crew was their teamwork.”
