Home Section: Mr. Handyman 

Tell us about you and your business. 

I’m Thomas Fiordelisi, Owner & CEO of Mr. Handyman of North Oklahoma City and Edmond. I opened our location on December 7th, 2020—“a day that will live in infamy.” After 27 years in the U.S. Air Force working in aircraft maintenance, I was inspired by my mentor, Armand Burleigh, to lead a business that puts skilled hands to work serving our community. 

What motivated you to open a local Mr. Handyman franchise? 

I’ve always been energized by the trades and guiding talented professionals. Mr. Handyman is a 30-year-old franchise with over 200 locations across the U.S. and Canada, and our Edmond/OKC location allowed me to blend craftsmanship, leadership, and service to support homeowners and local businesses. 

What services do you provide, and what makes you stand out from competitors? 

We are really “handy” for repairing, restoring, or replacing doors, drywall, siding, decks, windows, floors, gutters, fixtures, carpentry, bathrooms, kitchens, patios, painting, and more. Our advantage is that we attempt repairs first, preserving original design—especially important in older homes where matching materials can be difficult to find. Every job is supported by our Done Right Promise. What trends are shaping your industry, and how are you responding? 

Homeowners are increasingly seeking specialized services such as smart home installations or aging-in-place upgrades. Labor shortages and DIY culture make professionalism more important than ever. Since opening, we’ve earned nearly 800 Google reviews with a 4.8/5 rating—customers praise our punctuality, professionalism, and care for seniors. 

How do you connect with the local community? 

We celebrated our June 2024 relocation with the Edmond Chamber of Commerce at our new offices, 185 W. 15th in Edmond. We stay active in local business groups and have received recognitions like A+ BBB accreditation and the 2024 Angi Super Service Award. We hire veterans, support local causes, sponsor community events, and keep strong civic and church ties. 

What’s new for your business? 

We’ve expanded our service area to cover Yukon, Mustang, Piedmont, Bethany, The Village, and Nichols Hills. 

What else should people know about Mr. Handyman of North Oklahoma City and Edmond? 

Our team—including office staff and service professionals—has decades of combined experience and shares a passion for helping people. Whether it’s a small repair or a major renovation, we treat every home like our own and work hard to ensure each project is completed correctly, on schedule, and with full transparency.
