Founder’s Note
I’m Keith Bennett, 70 years old, retired contractor and digital agency owner. Like attorneys who give pro bono services, this is my way of giving back in my final chapter — helping hardworking tradespeople get the visibility and credibility they deserve.
For 40 years, I built a career in construction, and for 30 years I’ve run a digital agency. OC Handyman Services is where those two worlds come together: creating opportunity for deserving tradespeople who may not yet have the online presence that today’s economy demands.
This is not a business. It’s a passion project. My goal is simple: to provide exposure, build digital portfolios, and help honest, skilled people stand out so homeowners can find and trust them.

OCHS is ‘da bomb!
Orange County handyman services is ‘da bomb. Seriously. My mother lives alone and had an outlet that sparked when she used kitchen appliances. The owner made fast fast work of that and moved onto a short list of tasks. Mom was happy. Me? I am elated!
OCHMS took care of everything quickly and neatly

I highly recommend them to anyone that needs experienced help
I got a Big Screen for my birthday. I had no idea how to securely mount it where I wanted. O.C. Handyman services got my TV installed and then took on a growing list of tasks I didn’t have the tools or knowledge to do myself. All got done for his minimum fee. 🙂 I highly recommend them to anyone that needs experienced help.
