Your Handyman, Scott Luscombe

From Marketing Desk to Helping Hands

For years I worked behind a desk in marketing. A path filled with strategy, analysis and endless hours indoors. I learned to think big, solve problems and communicate clearly, skills that are valuable in business. But over time I realized something important: while my head was in marketing, my heart was elsewhere. That realization led me to make a significant career change, moving from marketing to becoming a handyman.

I’ve always had an art background, a love for creating with my hands and a deep satisfaction in seeing tangible results. Growing up tools were never strangers in my home. Whether it was fixing a leaky faucet, building a small piece of furniture or painting a fresh coat of colour, I was happiest when I could transform a space or fix something that mattered to someone. The advantage of combining my marketing expertise with my artistic skills is I bring a unique perspective and creative problem solving to every handyman job.

After years of working in an office I felt the pull to get back to what made me feel most alive—using my skills to create, repair and improve. That’s how Port Perry Handyman Services was born. Unlike how handymen are often seen as just quick fixers or general labourers, I focus on delivering a higher standard of service and attention to detail, setting myself apart from the typical perception of handymen.

Why I Chose to be a Handyman

The transition from marketing to handyman work may seem like a big jump but for me it was natural. My long-standing interest in DIY projects and property maintenance played a major role in my decision to become a handyman. Marketing taught me how to plan, organize and understand what people really need. Art taught me creativity, attention to detail and patience. And years of using tools and working on projects around the house gave me the confidence to step out of the office and start helping my community in a more direct, hands on way.

As a handyman I can perform a wide range of tasks for my clients including minor electrical repairs, plumbing fixes, painting, property maintenance and general home improvement projects.

When I pick up a paintbrush, fix a leaky pipe or clear snow for a neighbour I’m not just doing a job—I’m making someone’s life a little easier. And to me that’s worth everything.

Supporting Families and Aging Parents

I’m a family man through and through. I live in Port Perry with my wife and our three kids and like most families our home is full of joy and everyday challenges. I know what it’s like to juggle work, kids and household responsibilities. I also know how overwhelming it can be when the “little things” add up—repairs, seasonal upkeep and unexpected issues.

That’s why I wanted to create a service that takes those worries off the shoulders of other families. Whether you’re raising young kids, managing a busy household or caring for aging parents, having a reliable handyman you can call makes life simpler.

I have a special spot in my heart for seniors in our community. Many parents and grandparents want to stay in their homes as long as possible but sometimes repairs and upkeep become too much to handle. Regular maintenance is key to helping them maintain their independence and continue to live safely and comfortably at home. My goal is to be the helping hand that allows them to live comfortably, safely and independently.

Community First

For me being a handyman isn’t just about fixing things—it’s about serving the community I call home. Port Perry is where my family lives, where my kids go to school and where my neighbours are my friends. Every job I take on is an opportunity to contribute to the town that has given me so much.

When I shovel snow from a driveway, repair a broken step or trim a hedge I see more than a task—I see a family that can feel a little safer and more comfortable because of it. Helping people here means more than just business—it’s personal. While larger businesses in the handyman industry focus on scaling their services and operating across multiple locations, my approach is rooted in building genuine relationships and supporting my local community. I am dedicated to serving the Port Perry location, tailoring my services to meet the unique needs of this specific area.

Blending Skills: Marketing, Art and Tools

It may seem unusual to mention marketing and art on a handyman page but they’re a big part of why I do things differently. My background in marketing and art helps with the development of my business and customer experience, allowing me to continuously improve every project.

  • Marketing gave me discipline, organization and customer first thinking. I don’t just show up with a hammer—I listen, understand your needs and make sure the work I do solves your problem fully. This approach also helps build a strong personal brand that clients can trust.

  • Art honed my attention to detail. Whether it’s painting a straight edge, finishing a wood surface or making sure something looks as good as it works, creativity is always part of the process.

  • Tools is where it all comes together. I take pride in knowing how to use them properly, safely and skillfully to get the job done right the first time.

This combination makes me not just a handyman but a problem solver with a creative eye and a professional mindset which means success for both myself and my clients.
