About Us

Company History

Platinum Remodeling and Handyman Services was founded in February of 2005 by Josh Shonkwiler, when he bought out a local House Doctors handyman franchise that he had helped to start a couple years earlier. When Josh started Platinum, his goal was to blend his family’s background of large construction projects and custom home building with the smaller and more service-oriented handyman services that homeowners need on a more frequent basis.

The company has grown over the years, but the core types of business and principles remain the same. We have grown to include designers and a licensed architect, but still offer handyman services to our clients. We pride ourselves on being one of the top 500 largest remodeling companies in the nation, able to complete many jobs and a wide variety of needs for our clients, yet we know our customers by name and their pets too! We are very well organized (some call it OCD), paperless, and highly trained, with over 100 years of industry experience in-house. All of our employees are just all around good people that want to help you, whether it’s a small repair or a major remodel.

We also support local charity organizations, click here to learn more.

We care about the environment and have added the following services to be a more sustainable company. Please contact us for more information about these options:

Dumpster service is available which will recycle 85% of the waste from your remodeling project.

Platinum has upgraded its roof to solar panels to produce our own electricity and reduce carbon emissions. To date, that has had the effect of planting 77.2 acres of trees and counting.
