    A craftsman's eye for finish

    Clean lines, tight seams, no shortcuts. The details most people skip are the ones Dan gets right.

  • 3

    Fair, upfront quotes

    You know the number before he starts. No surprises, no padding.

  • 4

    On time when he says, and the space is cleaner than he found it when he leaves.

Dan Keggie, owner of Dan's Handyman
The man behind the tool belt

Meet Dan.

Dan Keggie is a South African craftsman who has spent his life making and fixing things by hand. When something in your home is broken, worn, or half-finished, he’s the person who quietly gets it right.

He’s a natural problem-solver. Where most people see a broken thing, Dan sees the fix, and he does it to a standard you don’t usually get from a handyman. That craft runs deep: he’s also a respected surfboard shaper who built his own labels and shaped under some of the sport’s biggest names. These days he brings the same care to homes across South Orange County.

"I treat every house like it’s my own. If it isn’t right, I don’t leave."

At 50, Dan is meticulous, easy to talk to, and quick to answer a text. He works to support his two daughters, who live with their mother in Portugal, so he treats every job like it matters. Because it does.
