Mr. Handyman of Atlanta Surpasses 10,000 Job Mark

Celebrates Major Milestone At First Annual
'One-Team' Family Picnic in East Cobb County

ATLANTA, GA -- September 18, 2003 -- Mr. Handyman® of Atlanta, the leading local provider of home and commercial maintenance, repair, and improvement services recently celebrated a major milestone in its business by holding their first annual 'One-Team' Picnic at Terrell Mill Park in Marietta. In August, the company surpassed the 10,000 mark for service jobs performed for clients throughout greater Atlanta. On hand to enjoy the celebration were more than 70 Mr. Handyman employees and their families representing their four Atlanta-area offices.

The day's festivities included a barbeque in which the managers of each of the offices served as chefs, a potluck dinner, contests and prizes, and plenty of fun and fellowship for the Mr. Handyman 'family'. The 'One-Team' theme was chosen for the event as confirmation that the Mr. Handyman team of master technicians and customer support specialists delivers greatest value to its clients by leveraging the collective expertise from all its members, both locally and nationwide.

"We wanted to set aside some time for all our team and their families to enjoy themselves and share in the success that we are experiencing", said Skip Gunther, manager of the first Mr. Handyman of Atlanta office in Marietta. "We are very grateful for the support that Atlanta has shown for our uniquely professional approach to delivering handyman services, enabling us to reach this milestone much faster than we ever imagined."

Darrell Bauer, manager of the Lawrenceville office noted, "It was terrific to get everyone together for day a day of fun. We wanted to recognize our team for truly delivering on the "On Time - Done Right' commitment that we make to each of our clients everyday. Reaching this important milestone would not have been possible without their outstanding dedication."

"This gathering gave us all a greater appreciation for the size and diversity of the Mr. Handyman team", noted Chip Ahrens, manager of the Woodstock office. "It was particularly interesting to consider the broad range of skills and experience that exists across our team. By witnessing the camaraderie of the group, I am more confident than ever about the value we bring to all of our Atlanta area clients."

In addition to virtually any size and type of interior and exterior repair work, Mr. Handyman® provides complete home improvement, building maintenance, and installation services. Every Mr. Handyman master technician is a uniformed employee that arrives at the job site at precisely scheduled appointment times in a well-marked company van equipped with the tools, materials, and know-how to handle most every need. One call to Mr. Handyman® often saves clients the time and added expense of hiring multiple tradesmen to handle their needs.
