Meet Adam Taylor: Handyman in The Woodlands, TX

 Here's something most homeowners don't know: in Texas, replacing a ceiling fan or a garbage disposal is regulated work. It involves electrical and plumbing connections, and the state requires a license to do it for hire. A lot of handymen do these jobs anyway, without holding one. I don't operate that way.

I hold the two licenses Texas requires for this work, issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR):

Residential Appliance Installation Contractor License #894 — this is the parent company license, which my wife and I own (Taylored Home Solutions). It also carries a state-mandated general liability insurance requirement, so when I say I'm insured, that's not just a phrase — it's a condition of holding the license.  Click here to view it. 

Residential Appliance Installer License #376398 — this is my personal license, the one that authorizes me, individually, to perform the installations.  Click here to view it. 

In plain terms, that license covers replacing and upgrading the appliances already in your home — ceiling fans, garbage disposals, and similar fixtures — done safely and to code. If a job calls for running a brand-new electrical circuit where none exists, that's the work of a licensed electrical contractor, and I'll tell you so honestly rather than take on something outside my license. Knowing where that line is, and respecting it, is part of doing this right.

And I bring real experience to every project. I've worked as a full-time handyman for a decade — since 2016 — and I've been serving The Woodlands since 2023. A license tells you I'm qualified on paper; ten years of doing this work, house after house, tell you I've put it into practice.  You don't have to take my word for any of this. Both licenses are public record, and you can verify them yourself on the TDLR website. I'd rather you check than wonder.

This is really what "your neighbor, not a franchise" comes down to. I'm not a call center or a name on a truck — I'm one licensed, insured, experienced person whose reputation is built right here in The Woodlands.
