Carol & Rick Gabrielly
Help Around the Home

There's a moment most of us recognize but rarely talk about out loud. It's the morning you reach for something on the top shelf and think twice. The afternoon you notice a grab bar would make all the difference in the bathroom. The evening you sit down and quietly wonder: who do we call for that?

​

Carol and Rick Gabrielly know that moment well, because they lived it themselves.

​

Nearly two decades working side by side in and around homes across the community, this husband-and-wife team will tell you that starting Help Around the Home wasn't just a business decision. It was a personal one.

​

"We were feeling our own age," Carols says with a laugh, "and we figured if we were noticing these things, we probably weren't alone."

​

They were right. What they discovered was a quiet, widespread need that too many people were navigating on their own, homeowners who wanted to stay in the places they loved, families trying to help aging parents stay safe and independent, and caregivers stretched thin and searching for someone who they could actually trust to show up, do the job right and treat their loved ones with dignity.

​

So, Carol and Rick rolled up their sleeves and build something to meet that need head-on.

​

18 Years, One Commitment

​

Help Around the Home has been serving the local community for over 18 years, and in that time, Carol and Rick have become something far more than skilled handypeople. They've become trusted faces, the kind you're genuinely glad to see at your door.

​

Their work spans the full range of home repairs and maintenance, but their hearts have always had a special place for a particular king of job: the ones that make a home safer, kinder and easier to live in as the years go by.

​

You'll find them installing sturdy grab bars in bathrooms where a fall is a real fear. Swapping out round doorknobs for smooth lever handles that arthritic hands can manage with ease. Building shelves and storage at heights that don't require a step stool or a strained back. Creating spaces where everything a person needs is exactly where they can reach it, without asking for help every time.

​

These aren't glamourous renovations. But to people who need them, they are genuinely life changing.

​

More Than Safety, Peace of Mind

​

What sets Carol and Rick apart isn't just technical skill, though they have plenty of that. It's the way they think about a home. They don't just make a space physically safer, they help organize and arrange is to it feels manageable, calm and livable. For older adults, that means the freedom to move through their own home with confidence. For family caregivers, it means a little less worry and a little more ease every single day.

​

Some of their happiest customers are elders and their families, people who've told them, more than once, that finding The Handy Couple felt like finding a solution they'd been searching for. Not just because the work was done well, but because Carol and Rick actually listened, actually cared and actually came back when something else needed attention.

​

That relationship, built on trust, respect and genuine love for the people they serve is the foundation that everything else is built on.

​

The Handy Couple, Ready for You

​

Whether you need a simple repair, a safety upgrade, or a thoughtful look at how your come could work better for the life you're living right now, Carol and Rick are ready to help.

​

Because everyone deserves a home that feels safe. Everyone deserves to age in a place that feels like theirs. And everyone deserves a team that shows up, not just with the right tools, but with the right heart.
