Experienced Businessman Expands National Home Improvement Brand into New York

November 05, 2024

STATEN ISLAND, NY– Handyman Connection, America’s premier home improvement franchise for professional and reliable handyman services, has announced plans to continue the brand’s national expansion by opening its first territory in Staten Island, New York. This new Handyman Connection business is owned by Ray Muratore and will service residents throughout the greater New York metropolitan area.

Growing up as the son of a union electrician with a passion for carpentry and woodworking, Ray was proficient with power tools before he could ride a bicycle. By the age of 12, he was skilled with radial arm and chop saws, and by 18, he and his father had completely repaired or replaced their entire home, from the foundation to the roof shingles. Ray vividly remembers the sense of accomplishment that came with each job, no matter the size.

After a successful 25-year career in the corporate world, Ray has only found that same sense of accomplishment when working on his or a friend’s home. This led him to return to his roots of home improvement. Ray is proud to become a franchisee with Handyman Connection to launch Handyman Connection of Staten Island. He and his team of professional local craftsmen take pride in their work and in serving their community. As neighbors on the island, and with the backing of a company that has been in business since 1991, Ray looks forward to becoming Staten Island’s go-to handyman service and helping others experience the same sense of accomplishment as they tackle their to-do lists. 

“I’m incredibly excited to bring Handyman Connection to Staten Island and have the opportunity to help serve my neighbors and further connect with my community,” said Ray Muratore. “Being able to help people in our community with their home improvement and repair needs is something I’m truly passionate about. We’ve built a team of skilled professionals who take pride in their work, and I can’t wait for our neighbors to experience the difference that local craftsmanship and dedication can make."

Handyman Connection services a variety of home improvement and repair needs from carpentry, flooring, and electrical work to painting, plumbing, and remodeling. Even if Handyman Connection can’t provide a specific service for any reason, the brand’s expansive network of local craftsmen allows them to refer one who can get the job done right. Handyman Connection’s core values of delivering on its commitments, respecting its connections, practicing continuous improvement, and having pride in what they do have allowed the brand to uphold its standard of quality assurance for over three decades. 

“We’re thrilled to welcome Ray to the Handyman Connection family as he launches our Staten Island franchise location,” said Jeff Wall, CEO of Handyman Connection. “Ray embodies the dedication, passion, and expertise we look for in our franchisees, and we’re confident he will make a meaningful impact in his community. His commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer service aligns perfectly with our values, and we’re excited to see him grow and thrive as part of our expanding franchise network.”

The opening of Handyman Connection in Staten Island marks the next step in the franchise’s continued expansion throughout the U.S. and Canada. For more information about Handyman Connection or its franchising opportunity, please visit https://franchiseopportunity.handymanconnection.com.
