About Us

Hello!

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I am so excited you’re here. Let me share a little about myself and how I came to start Pink Glove Services.

I have spent the past 13 years in the property management industry working in multiple roles from on-site property manager to Director of Operations.

Throughout my career, I have always been hands on and eager to learn. I asked a lot of questions about how repairs were made. I became increasingly curious about how everything operated and came together to keep homes structurally sound and running smoothly. Pretty soon my curiosity got the best of me and I began envisioning more of the creative side of handywork through renovating my own home. From hanging artwork, changing out light fixtures, or small repairs around the house to completing full bathroom and kitchen renovations - I caught the fix it/build it bug! This past year I designed and built a chicken coop and run for my backyard flock. The concept of Pink Glove Services was born from my own self-discovery of what truly brings me joy - solving problems and creating spaces that feel practical yet unique and personal. All while working with my hands and building relationships!

I don’t see my skills as unique, but recognize that I am different. Search for a handyman and you will find just that, men. This may not matter to everyone, but as a once single, female homeowner I know there can be a sense of uneasiness when you need to invite a stranger into your home. Your home is your safe place, a space where you should feel secure, respected, and comfortable. I know repairs and projects can be stressful. With everything there is to navigate, your peace of mind should be a non-negotiable.

I look at each project as an opportunity to learn and to connect. I understand the desire for quality work done efficiently with care, respect, and clear expectations. I work to ensure that each job I complete brings with it a sense of relief and joy. Each repair should restore your security and comfort while each project should breathe energy and joy back into your space - with a touch of Pink!

Our Services

When you contact Pink Glove Services I will reach out to schedule an in-person meeting to walk through your repairs or project. After our meeting, I will provide you with a quote for the services, no surprise pricing. We will then schedule your work to be completed, communicating with you through each step of the process to ensure expectations are met and the highest level of satisfaction is achieved. I will ensure your home is left clean and put back exactly as I found it once the job is complete because your peace of mind is my top priority!
