Patrick Skladel spent over two decades serving his country as a U.S. Coast Guard C-130 Navigator and Avionics Electrical Technician, conducting Search and Rescue operations across the nation. That hands-on military experience — combined with a lifelong passion for understanding how things work — gave him the skills, precision, and problem-solving mindset to tackle just about any home repair challenge.

Now retired and proud to call St. Petersburg home for more than 20 years, Patrick brings that same dedication and attention to detail to every project he takes on for his neighbors and community.

Originally from Long Island, NY, Patrick has always had an adventurous spirit — whether he's traveling to new destinations, catching waves, experimenting in the kitchen, or spinning tracks behind the decks. At home, he shares his life with his son, girlfriend, and their two rescue Labs. A passionate animal advocate, he has fostered over 30 dogs for local rescue organizations — because taking care of others, whether people or pets, is simply who he is.
