Ryan Curtis, handyman and remodeling for homes in Knoxville, Farragut, Oak Ridge and Maryville. Repair lists, painting and full remodels, done by one hands-on contractor from the first walkthrough to the last look-over.
Start with a small repair list or a full remodel. Every service below is work shown in our own job photos, and a job can mix two, like a bath remodel with new floors and fresh paint.

This is where most calls start. Ryan handles the repair list that piles up around a house, one trip at a time, and keeps a running punch list so nothing gets skipped. Small jobs get the same walkthrough as big ones.

Interior and exterior painting, with the prep done first: patch, sand, caulk and prime before color goes on. Neighbors on Nextdoor mention his interior painting and board-and-batten feature walls.

Pressure washing brings back concrete and wood that look tired from dirt and weather. We confirm which surfaces and how much area at the walkthrough, then wash them in one visit where the job allows.

We turn a garage into living space with new stud walls, doors, a ceiling and a finished floor. One past conversion ended up a bright room with knotty pine barn doors and a beadboard ceiling.

Full bathroom remodels and smaller updates, from a swapped vanity to a freestanding tub beside a tiled walk-in shower. We work out the layout, tile and fixtures with you at the walkthrough.

Kitchen updates that change how the room looks every day. Past jobs include stacked marble backsplashes set over granite counters, scoped to the kitchen you already have.
/filters:strip_exif()/filters:no_upscale()/media/f7af4be9-c441-4e43-b0f7-459ce4e7c03e.jpeg)
Luxury vinyl plank in halls and full rooms, plus new trim where a floor meets a door or wall. We check the subfloor for soft spots before plank goes down.
/filters:strip_exif()/filters:no_upscale()/media/1c91ec3f-41ca-43d9-89f2-07c502bb4cc7.jpeg)
Framing, doors, trim and built-ins made on site, like pine shelving beside a front door and a fireplace mantel with a new surround. Handmade barn doors on a track are a regular request.
/filters:strip_exif()/filters:no_upscale()/media/7f2d27c7-f2a6-4204-a2e6-68be11cbd3f2.jpeg)
New pressure-treated decks with railings and stairs, a spiral stair between levels, a pine porch floor and a screened porch addition. We confirm footprint, rail style and stairs at the walkthrough.
Curtis Can Do LLC is a home-based handyman and remodeling business run by Ryan Curtis, serving Knoxville, Farragut, Oak Ridge and Maryville, Tennessee. Handyman work comes first: drywall repair, fixture swaps, shelving, trim, doors, soffit and exterior repairs, and punch lists. From there the nine services also cover painting, pressure washing, garage conversions, bathroom renovation, kitchen renovation, flooring, carpentry, and deck and patio installation.
Ryan does the work himself, so the person who walks your house is the person doing the job. Every project starts with a walkthrough and measurements, then a written scope and quote, so you see what is included before anything comes out. Small repairs are welcome, and when a lighter fix will do the job, such as refinishing tile instead of replacing it, we say so. Work that needs a licensed plumber or electrician is not something we do ourselves.
Real projects around Knoxville and Farragut, shot on site: nothing here is stock. Each service page shows more of the same kind of work.

Send the room, the rough scope and your town. We will follow up to set up a walkthrough and measurements.
The same steps apply to a small repair and a full remodel. Timing and cost depend on the scope, which we put in writing after the walkthrough.
Call, or use Get a Quote to send the room, the rough scope and your town. A short description and a few photos make the first conversation more useful.
We come to the house, look at the space and take measurements. This is where we check conditions like a soft subfloor or an out-of-square wall and talk through materials.
You get the scope and the quote in writing. It spells out what is included and what depends on what we find, so the numbers match the work.
We do the work and keep the area as tidy as the job allows. How cleanup and daily access are handled is something we confirm with you at the walkthrough.
We go through the finished work together, and anything that needs a touch-up gets noted. Then you have a finished room instead of a to-do list.

Ryan runs Curtis Can Do LLC and does the work himself, from a drywall patch to a bathroom tear-out. That is him in the photo, on a bathroom demo.
He is often out fishing Tennessee water early in the morning and back on a job by afternoon. Neighbors on Nextdoor named the business a Neighborhood Favorite, and it holds an A+ on BBB.
The contractor who walks your house is the one doing the work, so what you describe at the walkthrough is what gets built. No handoff to a crew you have not met.
A backsplash, a vanity swap or new floors in a hallway get the same attention as a gutted bath or a new deck. You do not need a big project to call.
Sometimes replacing is not the only answer. Worn bathroom tile can be primed, painted and stenciled instead of ripped out, and we will tell you when that makes sense.
You talk to the same person from the first call through the final walkthrough, which keeps changes, questions and decisions in one conversation.

Demo day on a bathroom remodel. The same hands that tear out the old tile set the new one.

AfterPainted and stenciled tile: a budget refresh instead of re-tiling the floor.
Curtis Can Do LLC works from Farragut and serves four Tennessee towns. If you are close to one of them, call and ask.
Older homes with worn tile and newer builds that need a custom touch both get the same walkthrough and written scope.
The price depends on the size of the space, the materials you pick, what is behind the walls or under the floor, and how much needs to be torn out. We do not quote prices without seeing the job. After the walkthrough and measurements you get a written scope and quote, so the number matches the work.
Use the Get a Quote button or call during business hours. Tell us the room, what you want changed and your town, and send a few photos if you have them. We follow up to set up a walkthrough and measurements, which is the first real step.
We work from Farragut and serve homes in Farragut, Knoxville, Oak Ridge and Maryville, Tennessee. If you live just outside those towns, call and ask. We would rather tell you honestly whether we can get to you than leave you guessing.
It depends on the scope. A backsplash or a floor in one hallway is a very different job from a full bath remodel or a new deck. We talk through scheduling at the walkthrough and put the plan in the written scope, and we tell you early if a material or a surprise behind a wall changes things.
Yes, and they are where a lot of calls start. Drywall patches, fixture swaps, shelves, trim, a sticking door, soffit repairs or a list of small fixes are all welcome. Small jobs get the same walkthrough and written scope as large ones, and we will not push a bigger project on you when a smaller fix solves the problem.
Yes. At the walkthrough we talk through tile, plank, trim, railings and finishes that suit the space and your budget, and we can show what the options mean for the work involved. Final selections go into the written scope, so there are no surprises about what gets installed.
Usually yes, though it depends on the project. A deck or a floor in one room is easy to live around, while a kitchen or the only bathroom takes planning. We talk through access, dust, water shutoffs and cleanup at the walkthrough so you know what daily life looks like during the job.
Work that needs a licensed plumber or electrician is not something we do ourselves. We will tell you at the walkthrough if your project involves it, so you can line up the right person. We can plan the rest of the job around their visit, whether that is a bathroom remodel, a kitchen update or a garage conversion.
Send your project details or give us a call. We will set up a walkthrough and measurements and take it from there.
Hours: Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm. Closed Saturday and Sunday.
