My name is Scott Butler and I have lived in Chagrin Falls since 1995 except for a short stint in Canal Winchester. I enjoy fixing things and hope to help you retain the use of your belongings with economical repairs. In my personal life I have been a Cubmaster, an Assistant Scoutmaster, have owned my own business since 1998, and am an instructor at Conover Workshops in Parkman, Ohio.
