Man with Tools LLC

Man with Tools LLC is a general contracting home service provider based in Coraopolis, PA, specializing in everything from whole house remodels, to smaller home improvement projects and handyman services.

When Mark A. Bowman started Man with Tools LLC in 2020, the company originally focused on lawncare and basic odd jobs. However, customers continually requested additional services throughout the course of current jobs being completed and Mark never turned them down. From there, Man with Tools LLC built a loyal customer base that has grown and continued to grow each year, creating a need to hire additional employees to provide quality services. Man with Tools LLC strives to be the most honest, transparent and trustworthy general contractor in Western PA. The company takes pride in accepting no final payment until the customer is 100% satisfied with their work.
