Fixing More Than Just Homes: The Story of 702’s Greatest of All Trades

From odd jobs to a trusted name in Las Vegas, Justin’s handyman business is built on grit, pride, and a promise of satisfaction every single time.

The late afternoon sun settles over Las Vegas, painting the desert sky in gold. Somewhere in the sprawl of the valley, Justin loads tools into the back of his truck. It could be a leaky faucet, a broken fence, or the installation of yet another doggy door, but to him, it is never just a task. Each call represents trust, someone counting on him to get it right. “Usually when people ask what I do, I just say, ‘What do you need done?’” Justin says with a laugh. “Because that’s the truth. I do it all.”

For Justin, the founder of 702’s Greatest of All Trades, this work is more than a business. It is the culmination of years of side jobs, a stubborn determination to prove himself, and a deep belief that when he takes on a job, it gets done right the first time.

From Side Hustles to a Steady Calling

Justin did not set out to become the go-to handyman in Las Vegas. Originally from a small hometown where he always felt he had something to prove, he arrived in Nevada nearly a decade ago looking for new opportunities. To make ends meet, he picked up odd jobs, fixing things for cash whenever someone needed a reliable set of hands.

“I moved here seven, eight, maybe nine years ago, and I was just doing side work, you know, for cash here and there,” he recalls. “Then one day I thought, why not just get licensed and do it legit?”

That leap, small on the surface, marked the birth of 702’s Greatest of All Trades. What started as patchwork gigs became a fully licensed business. Justin no longer just repaired things for neighbors or friends; he became a professional whom Las Vegas families could call with confidence.

A Chip on the Shoulder, A Drive to Build

Every entrepreneur has fuel that keeps them going, and for Justin, it is personal. “What drives me? I’d say I’ve got a chip on my shoulder,” he admits. “I guess it comes from everybody back in my hometown.”

That chip has turned into motivation. In the early days, Justin underestimated how much went into running a legitimate business. The physical work was second nature, but the behind-the-scenes tasks felt like a storm of paperwork, legal requirements, and responsibility. “It’s a lot more than I thought it was gonna be,” he says. “The paperwork, the legal stuff, all of it.”

But Justin has never been one to shy away from hard work. He knows the road is not always smooth, and he cautions new entrepreneurs to prepare for the ups and downs. “Be ready for it,” he advises. “It’s up and down, but if you’re gonna do it, you gotta do it. There’s no other plan B.”

Built on Promises, Not Shortcuts

What makes 702’s Greatest of All Trades different from a dozen other handyman services in Las Vegas? For Justin, it comes down to something simple yet rare: a guarantee. “I make a one-hundred percent satisfaction guarantee that everybody will be one-hundred percent satisfied when I’m done,” he says. “I’ll do it myself to make sure.”

That uncompromising standard means no shortcuts and no sloppy work. “Because I’m gonna do it right the first time,” he explains. “There’s gonna be no comebacks. It’s gonna be nice, clean.”

It is not just talk. Customers who have seen Justin install doggy doors in record time or repair household problems with precision know he means it. In fact, he jokes that he has installed so many doggy doors he can practically do them blindfolded. “I’ve put in so many doggy doors, I can do them in under an hour, no matter what size,” he says with a grin.

The Heart Behind the Hustle

Running a handyman business is not glamorous, and Justin knows that. He spends long hours in the heat, hauls heavy equipment, and navigates the unpredictability of customer needs. But beneath it all lies a core of care and pride.

He sees his work as a service to the community, a way to make life easier for people who simply need someone reliable. “I just want people to be happy with the job,” he says. “If they’re satisfied, that’s all that matters to me.”

Justin’s values also show in the small but meaningful gestures built into his business. Teachers and veterans, for example, always receive a discount. It is his way of showing gratitude to people who give so much to others. “We do discounts for teachers and veterans,” he notes. “It’s just something I want to do.”

A Family Effort, Both Offline and Online

Like many small business owners, Justin is still finding his way in the digital world. While he admits he does not spend much time on social media, his wife helps him manage their online presence. “I don’t do too much online, like, social media or anything like that,” he says. “My wife does a lot of it.”

Most of his customers still find him the old-fashioned way, through word-of-mouth or by stumbling across his Facebook page. Yet the business maintains a modest presence on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok under 702’s Greatest of All Trades LLC, where snapshots of projects give potential clients a sense of what he can do.

The lack of flashy marketing has not stopped Justin from building trust in the community. In many ways, it underscores the authenticity of his work. He does not rely on polished ads; he relies on reputation.

The Community’s Handyman

Las Vegas is a city built on glittering facades, but beneath the neon lies a community of families, workers, and small business owners who keep the city alive. For them, businesses like 702’s Greatest of All Trades are essential.

Justin is not just fixing homes; he is giving people peace of mind. When something breaks, he is the kind of person neighbors recommend without hesitation. His willingness to take on just about any task makes him invaluable in a city where residents come from all walks of life and often need practical help.

That local impact matters to Justin. “I just want to be working steady, having regular income, and keeping people happy,” he says when asked about the future. It is not about building an empire. It is about stability, consistency, and community trust.

Looking Ahead with Steady Hands

In the coming months, Justin has no grand illusions of sudden growth or overnight success. His short-term vision is simple: steady work, satisfied customers, and a reputation that continues to spread. Long-term, he imagines building enough momentum to create stability for his family and maybe expand into larger projects.

For now, he is focused on doing each job with the same care and thoroughness that got him here. Whether it is a simple fix or a complex installation, Justin treats every call as an opportunity to prove that his business name holds true: he really is the greatest of all trades.
