What Dan does

If it's around the house, he handles it.

A good craftsman solves problems for a living. Bring him the list, the annoying ones too.

General maintenance

The running list of small fixes that keep a home right — punch-outs, tune-ups, upkeep.

Interior & exterior painting

Clean lines, proper prep, no drips on the baseboards. Walls, trim, doors, fences.

Drywall & texture

Holes, cracks, water damage, matched texture and paint so the repair disappears.

Pressure washing

Driveways, patios, walls, decks — areas of every size brought back to new.

Welding & metal fab

Gates, railings, brackets, repairs — custom metalwork most handymen can't offer.

Finish carpentry

Trim, doors, shelving, cabinets, custom builds — the detail work a craftsman is made for.

Tile & fixtures

Backsplashes, floors, regrouting, faucets, lighting, hardware swaps.

Fences, gates & decks

Build, repair, restore, reseal. Wood or metal, standing straight and latching clean.

The odd job

If it's broken, leaning, squeaking, or half-finished — ask. Chances are Dan can fix it.

The man behind the tool belt

Meet Dan.

Dan Keggie is a South African craftsman who has spent his life making and fixing things by hand. When something in your home is broken, worn, or half-finished, he’s the person who quietly gets it right.

He’s a natural problem-solver. Where most people see a broken thing, Dan sees the fix, and he does it to a standard you don’t usually get from a handyman. That craft runs deep: he’s also a respected surfboard shaper who built his own labels and shaped under some of the sport’s biggest names. These days he brings the same care to homes across South Orange County.

"I treat every house like it’s my own. If it isn’t right, I don’t leave."

At 50, Dan is meticulous, easy to talk to, and quick to answer a text. He works to support his two daughters, who live with their mother in Portugal, so he treats every job like it matters. Because it does.
