Dan Kern
Owner
Dan is a graduate of Northern Illinois University and a graduate of Lake Forest Graduate School of Management with a Master of Business Administration. He worked for 30 plus years in corporate America with companies such Motorola Inc and Cisco Systems.
When not at work Dan was constantly tinkering and puttering around the house just trying to keep up with the ever-growing "honey do" list as husband, father, and weekend warrior. His attention to detail, neat and timely work expectations led him to a life transition and the start of Ace Handyman Services - Fox Valley. He saw a growing need to serve his community, neighbors, and friends with a business of reliable, responsive, and professional craftsmen that are licensed, bonded, and insured, that take great pride in the work they do.
Dan is the proud father of two daughters. He enjoys outdoor activities, staying fit and cooking on his Kamado Joe grill.

I have been involved in the Trades for the past 20 years. By partnering with my husband running our own Remodeling and Custom Cabinetry company and by hands on assistance on the job sites I have first-hand experience of what your home repairs need. This experience gives me insight and understanding to help you love your home.

Matt M.
Craftsman
My name is Matt M. I grew up with two generations before me that were very capable handymen. I understood at a young age if you have the desire, there is very little we couldn't learn to fix ourselves. I enjoy exploring how things work every day. In my spare time I enjoy woodworking and model building.

Deanna C.
Craftswoman
Hi. I am Deanna. I have a passion with working with my hands. Lucky for me I grew up learning the skills I have from my dad who could fix or build anything and everything. I love helping people fix their homes and bring them back to life! When I'm not working for Ace Handyman Services as a craftswoman, I enjoy cooking, fishing and building furniture.
