Mr. Handyman Marks Successful Expansion Into
Commercial Handyman Services Market

Businesses Embrace Professional, Comprehensive Approach
to Maintenance Services

ATLANTA, GA -- June 30, 2003 -- Mr. Handyman® of Atlanta, the leading local provider of home and commercial maintenance, repair, and installation services marked its first anniversary in the commercial handyman services market by announcing that revenues from this segment have grown to over 30% of the company's total revenue. After launching its home services business in December 2001, Mr. Handyman of Atlanta has now successfully expanded operations to provide its full range of professional handyman services to commercial clients. The company now employs 30 fulltime master technicians and over 40 total employees in four offices in greater Atlanta.

To insure success in this market, Mr. Handyman leverages core competencies from its revolutionary residential services business model, tailoring their wide range of service capabilities to meet the specific needs of commercial clients. Key among the company's practices that business clients most value are: work performed on specific time appointments rather than time frames or estimated times, satisfaction guaranteed with work backed by a written warranty, highly experienced master technicians with the broad skill set required to handle most any job in a cost and time efficient manner, and the professionalism displayed by clean-cut uniformed technicians that are direct employees (not sub-contractors) of Mr. Handyman.

Commercial services provided by the company range from simple one-hour repair jobs to complete ongoing facility management services. Mr. Handyman master technicians are capable in every department of a business including customer-facing areas, front and back offices, service and industrial departments, and business exteriors. Examples of the commercial services provided by the company include plumbing, flooring, walls and partitions, furniture repair, lighting, showrooms, pool and tennis courts, parking lots, and many other general maintenance items. The company provides these services on a one-time, on-call, or scheduled maintenance program basis and offers a variety of contract and payment options.

Speaking about the company's services, Mr. Eric Peterson, General Manager of Fadó Irish Pub in Buckhead stated, "Mr. Handyman is very effective in all areas of our business. They keep everything in proper condition and repair for our customers - from tables and chairs to tile floors. They have a true customer service mindset, which is very hard to find in this market. Time is money in our business, and by covering all of our maintenance and repair needs, Mr. Handyman saves us the time of tracking down individual tradesmen to handle all the various maintenance and repair needs of our business."

Moore and Cubbedge, LLP is a CPA firm with two office buildings near the Marietta Square. "We view our Mr. Handyman technician like one of our staff", commented Ms. Laura Kirkland, Administrative Assistant. "We utilize both regularly scheduled visits and on call services to handle all of our general maintenance and special fix-it needs. We find them to be much more responsive and capable than maintenance services that we used in the past. Their service technicians are professional and are always dressed in uniform and look neat, which is critical to maintaining our image with our clients."

Mr. Terry Fortson, Service Manager at Nalley Lexus of Marietta, also noted the company's professional approach. "The entire Mr. Handyman organization is highly professional. We can absolutely depend on them to deliver expert quality in a timely manner. They provide a wide range of services to this, and other Nalley dealerships including bathroom remodeling, flooring, lighting, plumbing, parking lot maintenance and more. Their dependability, quality of work, and convenience make them an excellent overall value for us. We're tickled with Mr. Handyman and recommend them to any business that places a high level of importance on their time and the maintenance and appearance of their facilities."

"We are very pleased with the response to our commercial services offer", stated Brad Mikes, vice president at Mr. Handyman's Marietta office. "We launched this initiative based on demand that was generated from clients that used us first for their home handyman needs, and wanted that same level of professional and reliable services in their businesses. Clients like the fact that we can handle virtually all their maintenance needs in a single visit. Most general contractors don't effectively execute on general maintenance and small-medium size jobs as they focus their priorities and best manpower on large projects. We fill this gap with highly skilled, uniformed master technicians that provide these critical services with a level of professionalism and reliability never before available in this market."
