For Steve and Page McLarty, owning and operating Mr. Handyman of Greater Tulsa is about more than fixing things. It’s about providing a service that homeowners can rely on with confidence. Since opening their doors in 2020, the McLartys have built their business around trust, professionalism, and a dedication to quality that now reaches across the Tulsa area, including right here in Claremore.

What started with just two service vans has grown into a fleet of eleven, and the team has grown too. All of their full-time employees—not contractors—have been drug tested and are background-checked, experienced, and committed to their high standards. One of their most experienced and trusted technicians is Tim Simmons, a longtime Claremore resident with over 45 years of experience in the trades. Tim joined Mr. Handyman in January 2024 after more than a decade running his own successful flooring and remodeling business. His specialties include kitchen and bathroom remodeling, flooring installation and repair, and drywall work.

“I take pride in getting the job done right the first time,” Tim says. “It’s about trust, especially when you’re working in someone’s home.”

Steve, a former aerospace professional, never planned to be in the handyman business. After nearly three decades in his field, he was preparing to retire and focus on rental properties when he discovered the Mr. Handyman franchise. Frustrated by the lack of dependable service providers in the home repair space, he and Page saw an opportunity to bring something better to their community.

“We wanted to create a business that treated people with respect and delivered real results,” Steve explains. “So we built a team of full-time employees—not contractors—who are background-checked, drug tested, experienced, and committed to our standards.”

That commitment has shaped every part of the Mr. Handyman model. Customers receive a walk-through of their project before work begins, along with clear communication and upfront pricing. The goal is always to deliver quality work with minimal stress, and if something isn’t quite right, the team will return and make it right.

Page brings her own business savvy to the table. A former teacher and boutique owner in Broken Arrow’s Rose District, she helps ensure that the company stays grounded in its values while growing its reach.

Now, with trusted local professionals like Tim on the team, Mr. Handyman is proud to bring those values to Claremore families.

When they’re not focused on the business, Steve and Page enjoy spending time with their two sons, daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren—plus Sammie, their miniature Australian Shepherd, and Max the cat. For them, and for the team they’ve built, this work is personal.
