About Us

Welcome to The Affordable Handyman
I’m Mark Armstrong—proudly rooted in Montana’s pioneering spirit and dedicated to delivering high-quality home repairs and renovations. Born and raised in Helena, I’m a second-generation descendant of Montana’s turn-of-the-century pioneers. My grandparents, who homesteaded near Billings beginning in 1910, instilled in me the timeless values of perseverance, hard work, and integrity—values that continue to shape every project I undertake.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Trust
My journey in the world of construction began at the age of 14, when I helped my parents with a complete interior remodel of our family home in Helena. Over the past 52 years, I have honed my skills across an impressive range of trades. Whether it’s residential and award-winning commercial foundation work, specialized concrete flatwork, or high-stakes projects like repairing 50 kV electrical concrete tower bases, my experience speaks for itself. I’ve also been fortunate to contribute to innovative projects—such as testing experimental concrete repair solutions for Belzona Molecular—while mastering roles in structural steel erection, wood framing, sheetrock installation, and more.

Expertise Backed by Credibility
I hold a degree in Computer-Aided Drafting and Design from Gallatin College at Montana State University in Bozeman and have even had the opportunity to teach courses in Architectural Materials & Construction Methods and Descriptive Geometry. This blend of practical experience and academic knowledge ensures that every project is approached with thorough technical precision and the hands-on expertise you can trust.

A Mission of Quality and Affordability
With Bozeman’s living costs on the rise, I made a deliberate choice as I near the end of my career—to dedicate my time and skills to offering exceptional repairs and renovations that remain affordable. At The "Affordable Handyman", my mission is simple: to combine decades of construction wisdom with genuine care, ensuring that every repair or installation meets the highest standards while staying comfortably within your budget.

Every project, whether large or small, is a new opportunity to bring the values of old Montana to life in your home. I invite you to explore my website, learn more about the services I offer, and reach out to discuss how we can turn your ideas into lasting, high-quality results.
