One builder, start to finish.

Freedom Handyman is one owner-operator: a remodeling contractor based in Bolivia who spends his days renovating homes up and down Oak Island.

Salt air and hard weather wear on a coastal house faster than anywhere inland. We build for it: real materials, tight framing, and finishes that hold up long after we leave.

You talk to the builder. He writes the quote and he is on site while the work gets done.

Renovations, room by room or wall to wall.

We take on one bathroom or the whole house. Tap a service to see what's included.

We coordinate every trade, keep the job on a schedule, and hand back a home that feels new without losing the character that made you buy it.

  • Whole-house layout & wall changes
  • Flooring, drywall, trim & paint
  • Coordinated plumbing & electrical
  • One point of contact the whole way
Start this project

We rework the layout, hang the cabinets level and run the counters tight, so the room looks sharp and works every morning.

  • Cabinet install & countertops
  • Backsplash, tile & flooring
  • Island builds & layout changes
  • Lighting, sink & appliance hookup

Small rooms punish sloppy work. We waterproof it right, set the tile straight, and build showers and vanities that stay dry for years, not seasons.

  • Walk-in & tile showers
  • Vanities, tubs & fixtures
  • Waterproofing done to code
  • Flooring, tile & ventilation

Coastal living happens outside. We build decks, porches and screened rooms that stand up to sun, salt and storm season.

  • Railings and stairs built to code
  • Decks, porches & screened rooms
  • Weather- & salt-rated materials
  • Permits & inspections handled
Start this project

Rinse the sand and salt off before anyone walks in the house. We build outside showers that fit the spot, give you privacy and hold up to sun and standing water.

  • Enclosure built to fit your space
  • Materials chosen for salt air and constant water
  • Benches, hooks and shelves where you want them
  • A written estimate before work starts

    Why folks on the island call this number.

    Veteran-owned and operated

    The discipline carries over: show up on time, do the job right, stand behind the work.

    The owner is on your job

    The person who quotes the work is the person swinging the hammer, from the first walkthrough to the final sign-off.

    Built for salt air and storm season

    We pick materials, fasteners and finishes for the beach, because a renovation that can't handle the coast isn't finished.

    A written estimate, before anything starts

    The estimate is free and done on site. An estimate is not a final price, so if the job turns up something behind a wall you hear about it before the cost moves, not after.

    Four steps, no runaround.

    You know what's happening and what it costs before we pick up a hammer.

    Questions we hear on every job.

    Do you charge for estimates?

    No. Estimates are free and done on site. The owner walks the space in person and puts the estimate in writing before any work starts.

    Is the quote the final price?

    No. A quote is an estimate, not a fixed final price. If the scope changes, or something turns up once the walls are open, you hear what it costs and approve it before that work goes ahead.

    What areas do you serve?

    Oak Island, Southport and the surrounding areas of Brunswick County, NC.

    Do you handle permits and inspections?

    Yes. For decks and structural work, we handle permits and inspections as part of the job.

    How do I get started?

    Call or text (434) 981-0188, or send the form below. Tell us what you're planning and we'll set up a time to walk the job.
