About us
SDHI provides handyman services for Pittsford, VT and the surrounding areas.
Spotted Dog Home Improvements, LLC (SDHI) provides professional handyman services for homeowners, property managers, and businesses in Pittsford, VT and the surrounding areas.
My name is Andrew Lenius, and I started SDHI after my wife and I moved to the Pittsford area. I am a self-starter who, after 23+ years in the global Information Technology space, needed to get out of the office and away from the computer.
I enjoy working with my hands, excel at problem solving, and find it rewarding to help others in my community while still being able to support my family. I’m constantly growing my service skills and have experience in almost all aspects of home and property maintenance (see our service list below along with our project photos page). I’ve built these skills over the past 17+ years of home ownership and assisting family and friends with their projects.
The SDHI business name is inspired by our company mascot Violet, a highly energetic black & white English Cocker Spaniel. You can see a few photos of her on the main page and will add more as we update the website.
Go ahead and give us a call at the number listed above to discuss your project or fill out the form at the bottom of the page and we will follow up. Thank you for taking the time to visit our site and we look forward to working with you!
Customer satisfaction & workmanship
We believe trust is built with honesty and integrity.
Customer satisfaction is extremely important to SDHI and we believe it needs to be at the core of any successful business. We are committed to fully understanding each customer’s needs so we can recommend the right service and will not advise for any services that are unnecessary or do not add value.
We have a very strong attention to detail and work to ensure every project is completed to the same high standard we have for our own projects. In the event any workmanship issues are identified we will work with the customer to determine and agree on the best resolution. We want to make it right and understand word of mouth is very important in our community. We want to build long lasting partnerships with our customers and believe trust is built with honesty and integrity.
