I was nine years old the first time I fixed something that mattered.
My dad was installing a garbage disposal in our kitchen. He got stuck, needed a part, and left for the hardware store.
I was sitting there looking at it, and something just clicked.
I thought, maybe I could do this.
So I got under the sink, started matching the colored wires, figured out how everything connected โ and by the time my dad got back, it was done.
He checked everything. It was right.
I haven't put a tool down since.
I'm 29 years old, and I've been doing this for twenty years.
While most kids were playing video games, I was outside cutting grass, pulling weeds, and figuring out how things worked.
By the time I was a teenager, I knew I wanted to work with my hands for the rest of my life.
I spent years working for other companies โ kitchen and bath remodeling, commercial cabinetry, HVAC, plumbing, framing, trim work. I wasn't just clocking in. I was learning every trade I could get my hands on, building a skill set that most contractors never develop because they only know one thing.
In 2018, I started The Jack of All Trades.
The first few years weren't easy. I went through a tough season personally โ lost my direction, questioned everything, had to figure out who I was and what I was meant to do.
But that struggle shaped me.
It's what made me realize that this work isn't just how I make a living. It's my gift. It's the thing I was put here to do.
"I treat every home like it's my own. If I wouldn't accept it in my house, I'm not leaving it in yours."
โ Chase Jack, Owner & FounderI'm a perfectionist.
If I'm installing cabinet handles and one is just slightly off โ even if nobody else would ever notice โ it bothers me. Because I know it's there.
I've seen too many contractors take shortcuts because "it's not their house."
They run out of lumber and piece something together. They use the wrong size pipe because it's what they have on the truck. They look at it and say "that'll work" instead of doing it right.
This is my name. These are people's homes. People are spending their hard-earned money, and they deserve someone who cares as much about the result as they do.
One of the jobs that stays with me is a woman whose husband had passed away.
He was a police officer. After he was gone, the house started falling apart โ fence collapsing, yard overgrown, drywall damage inside. She was trying to sell the home but was overwhelmed, running out of time, and didn't know how she was going to get it all done.
We went in and took care of everything.
Ripped out the old fence and built a new one. Cut down trees, cleared the overgrowth, fixed the drywall, and got the whole property ready.
When we finished, she said it was like a weight had been lifted off her chest.
That's why I do this. Not the paycheck. Showing up for people when they need it most.
Today, The Jack of All Trades is a family business.
My dad Jamon runs sales and operations. My wife left her career to join us. We're growing, building crews, and taking on bigger projects.
But we made a promise: no matter how big we get, we'll never lose the thing that makes us different.
If an elderly woman calls because her light bulbs went out and she can't climb a ladder โ we're still going to show up.
That's the kind of company I want to build. That's the kind of company I want to pass on to my kids one day.
I'm not trying to sell you anything. I'm trying to build a relationship.
When the job is done, I want you to feel like you gained a friend who happens to be really good with a hammer โ not just another contractor who showed up, got paid, and disappeared.
Your home is where your life happens.
I don't take that lightly.
