Women (and men) find a perfect entrepreneurial fit with Just Let Me Do It

What does Starbucks do when an electrical outlet isn’t working? How about if Olive Garden needs to have broken bathroom tile repaired? They call in a handyman… or a handywoman like Katrina Farrell. Because even big businesses have small jobs.

Six months ago, Farrell became the owner of a commercial repair service franchise covering the entire Seattle area. Her company, Just Let Me Do It Commercial Services, has found a niche in its detail-oriented repairs at retail, restaurant and office locations for some of America’s most recognizable brands. Just Let Me Do It takes on bigger renovation projects, too, of course, but just the small jobs can keep Farrell and her staff very busy.

“We’ll hit one place and change a bunch of ballasts and light bulbs,” Farrell says. “Then the next place, we need to fix a cabinet door. It’s the nitpicky things that are important.”

As Farrell talks, she gives the impression that she always knew how to swing a hammer. That’s not the case. “I wasn’t handy,” she says. In fact, her previous career experience consisted of working in nonprofit organizations.

But at age 53, she aspired to own a business. “I was at a point in my life where I wanted to do
something different.” And that’s what she’s got: being a handywoman for large and small businesses in a territory that includes 41 cities across four counties.

Knowing she could draw on her business background, Farrell made a logical foray into franchising. The company’s female founder, Colleen Pyle, drew her to this particular business. “She is very dynamic, and I was really intrigued,” Farrell says of Pyle, CEO of Just Let Me Do It.

Pyle encourages female prospects interested in franchising to consider Just Let Me Do It. “Women are great entrepreneurs, hardworking and usually very organized,” Pyle says. And for any franchisees – whether male or female – who don’t wish to get their hands dirty, it’s not a job requirement. Employees can do the field work while the franchisee oversees the financial and operational aspects of the business.

As for Farrell, she has one employee and recently was looking to hire a second as she expands. “With more employees, I can take on more jobs and grow.”

Work is plentiful because Just Let Me Do It franchisees have access to Pyle’s network of contracts spanning the United States. Farrell stays so busy that she sometimes works 60 hours a week.

In the meantime, after many years of office work, the entrepreneur enjoys the physical repair work that fills her schedule and makes her workday interesting. “I do like to be hands-on. You never know what you’re going to be doing that day.”
