Bright Star Handyman Service is an independently owned and operated business founded in 1998 by Lee Geiger, in Haddonfield, NJ.
Lee was born in Queens County, New York. Growing up in a diverse blue collar neighborhood in Forest Hills, the young Lee learned the importance of hard work and community.

One day, Lee woke to find that his bike had been stolen. Unable to afford a replacement, he collected discarded bicycle parts to build a new one. This inspired him to move on to making go carts, starting a trend in the neighborhood and seeding a love of carpentry that would lead him to found Bright Star Handyman services in 1998, despite a total lack of formal business training.
The following years saw limited business success; rarely does a new venture flourish immediately even under the best of circumstances, and while Bright Star Handyman survived for 10 years or so, it didn't really start to flourish until Lee took a courageous step: hiring on more technicians, and trusting fate.
The Bright Star Handyman of today sends a number of skilled workers eager to provide their expertise to our clients in a wide area of South Jersey as well as parts of Philadelphia.
Not only do we focus on beautiful residential homes (many of them historical) in Haddonfield, Cherry Hill, and surrounding areas; we also happily serve our fellow local businesses - you can check out our portfolio.

As for Lee himself, when he isn't providing free estimates for home and business owners in the area or handling the day to day of running an local independent small business, he can be found in his home in Haddon Township caring for his rescue dogs, Karma and Jamie.
