A San Marcos location of Handyman Connection, 120 W. Hopkins St., opened in August. The company provides a full range of maintenance, installation and remodeling services.

“My dad worked in construction for the majority of his career, and I always admired the level of workmanship and customer satisfaction he prioritized above all else at work, and these attributes have stayed with me,” owner Jason Whaley said in a written statement. “With Handyman Connection’s proven business model and franchisee support, I have the proper tools and resources needed to deliver quality experiences for our customers."

Handyman Connection was founded in 1991 and has established more than 65 locations in the U.S. and Canada.
