About NeighborBuilt

Professional enough to trust. Personal enough to know who is showing up.

NeighborBuilt was created around a simple idea: homeowners should not have to choose between a casual handyman experience and a large contractor that is not interested in smaller work.

Owner-operated by Garrett Hourihan.

Garrett brings decades of professional problem-solving, planning, design thinking, and hands-on renovation experience to the work. That background shows up in the details homeowners care about most: clear communication, thoughtful planning, organized work, and respect for the finished result.

NeighborBuilt is intentionally positioned between a trusted neighbor and a professional home improvement contractor—approachable for everyday work, capable when projects grow, and straightforward throughout the process.

What that means in your home

  • You know who your point of contact is.
  • Questions get answered plainly.
  • Your project is scoped before work starts.
  • Your home and time are treated with respect.
  • Licensed trades are brought in when required.

The standard

Good work is more than the finished surface.

Communication

You should not have to chase someone down to understand what is happening with your project.

Respect

Your home is not a jobsite first. It is where you live, and the work should reflect that.

Craftsmanship

Details matter—from preparation to alignment, fit, finish, cleanup, and what the work looks like after the tools are gone.
