Our History

Isthmus Handyman has deep roots in the Madison community, stemming from its founding in 1994 by Dennis Harrison-Noonan. Dennis, driven by a passion for skilled craftsmanship and a desire to serve his neighbors, started Isthmus Handyman to provide quality carpentry and handyman services. In the pre-internet era, Dennis's dedication to his craft led him to personally introduce himself and his services to residents in Madison's Northside neighborhoods, ensuring everyone knew about the reliable and friendly handyman they could trust with their homes.

Word of mouth quickly spread about Dennis's excellence. Clients consistently praised not only the quality of work performed but also his commitment to helping homeowners understand and maintain their properties. Dennis's open communication, fair pricing, and willingness to go above and beyond fueled a loyal clientele that referred him to friends and family. Over time, this positive reputation solidified Isthmus Handyman's standing as a trusted resource for Madison homeowners.

In 2004, Dennis's neighbor and fellow handyman, Tim Carlisle, joined the Isthmus Handyman team, bringing his own expertise and expanding the company's service offerings. Together, they broadened the scope to encompass remodeling and deck building. Their partnership proved immensely successful, allowing them to provide even more comprehensive solutions to their clients' home improvement needs for twelve fruitful years.

While Dennis "retired" from hands-on work in 2016 to pursue a new chapter as a hospital chaplain, his legacy and the values he instilled continued to guide Isthmus Handyman. Tim, assuming ownership and management of the company, maintained the emphasis on high-quality workmanship, exceptional customer service, and personal attention that had always characterized Dennis's approach.

Isthmus Handyman has grown, welcoming additional associates to meet the increasing demand for its services. Despite the expansion, the company has remained dedicated to its core values: providing personalized service, prioritizing long-term client relationships, and upholding the highest standards of craftsmanship.
