About Tim

Meet the Team

Like the Army slogan “I am an Army of One”.

Hi, my name is Tim Gawry and I’m a husband, father, brother and son. I am originally from Cleveland, OH and am a lifelong Browns, Indians/Guardians, Cavaliers and Buckeyes fan. I moved to Oklahoma City in June of 2021 for better weather and a safer environment for my family.

I have been married to my beautiful wife Tracy since 2003, when I saw her in a Walmart in Columbus, OH and we got married 3 months later. We have 3 great kids, Clayton, who is in the Army, Eleanor, who is learning how to become a farrier (horse shoeing) in Purcell, OK and Emily, still in high school. I have another son, Kyle, from a previous marriage, who is in the Michigan Army National Guard.

 

My Story

I am a 35-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps (1981-1985), Army National Guard (1986-1999) and U.S. Army Reserve. I retired from active duty with the Army Reserve in 2016 and after working as a trucker, plumber with Roto Rooter and Army JROTC instructor, a voice inside my head told me to be become a handyman in December of 2019.

I started out in Cleveland, handing out cards to local business like hardware stores, real estate agents and going to networking meetings and telling family/friends of my new business. I moved to Oklahoma City in June of 2021 for better weather and a safer environment for my family. My clients range from real estate agents, property and building managers, and home owners. Since I started, I have 611 customers between Ohio and Oklahoma and done over $377,000 in sales.

 

Why do I do what I do?

When I was on active duty with the Army Reserve, I served in staff positions, meaning I worked in an office, stared at a computer all day, sent and read emails, made and received phone calls, worked on slide and spreadsheets…..and went to meetings. A LOT of meetings. It was drudgery.

When I got off active duty and I couldn’t find a job I felt I was qualified for, despite having a Master’s Degree from Duquesne University and a Secret security clearance, I tried other things that DIDN”T require sitting in front of a computer and I also liked working with my hands. I worked on helicopters in the Marine Corps, industrial maintenance after the Corps and even had my own outdoor furniture business, so becoming a handyman was a natural fit….and I like helping people. Believe it or not, I was NEVER complimented on my slides or spreadsheets during a meeting. Now, I help people everyday that are grateful for the help. I am the best and most affordable option for plumbing Mustang OK has to offer and you will see that when you give me a call!

Why I’m different

Unlike most handymen, and contractors, I reply back to all phone calls, email and texts, usually within 48 hours this immediately helps me stand out as the most responsive option for plumbing Mustang OK has to offer. Go ahead and give me a call, where most contractors take days to respond, I will call you back within 24 hours, often times a lot sooner.

I know my strengths; plumbing, drywall repair, furniture assembly, and minor tasks around the house, and my weaknesses; tile, carpentry, roofing, electrical, and flooring. If I don’t know how to do something, I will let you know and refer you to someone who is more qualified than I am for your project.

When I am working on something, like installing a thermostat, I’ll explain to the customer how to program it or where to set the thermostat on a water heater.

Unlike many contractors, I am willing to do the small jobs. Actually, I prefer them. I refer to myself as the “Honey Do List project manager”. I even replaced the battery in a door bell once.
I also drive a well wrapped van that is clean and wear a company shirt and pants that are clean and I keep my hair short and am clean shaven.

When I’m finished with your project, I’ll leave your house cleaner than when I got there.

Lastly, I bring treats for you dog(s). My wife Tracy makes bread and will cut it up into cubes (croutons). My dog Winston LOVES them and most of my customers’ dogs do too!

 

The benefits of working with me

As I said earlier, I know my strengths and weaknesses. I know what I am good at and even if I think I can do the job, but know someone that could do it better, like painting, I’ll refer you to the other person. I’d rather pass on a job and have a happy potential customer, than do the job, not do it well and have an unhappy one.

  • I’ll clean up the jobsite before I leave.
  • I’ll communicate with you to coordinate a time that is best for you and if I am running late, I’ll let you know.
  • I’ll wear a clean uniform and bring treats for you dogs.
  • I’ll explain to you what I’m doing and why and if there are problems, explain what those are and if there are additional costs beyond my estimate.
