Joseph Henschel

Born in Clearwater, Florida, Joe always had a strong work ethic. He graduated from City College in Fort Lauderdale in 1999. There, he earned two associate degrees—one in electronics and another in business management. His mix of technical knowledge and business sense laid the foundation for his future success.

Before launching his handyman business, Joe spent six years with Luxottica Retail. He began as a store manager for Sunglass Hut and quickly stood out. In just six years, he was promoted seven times. His leadership and customer service skills helped him rise through the ranks.

Joe eventually opened his own retail business—the Sunglass Shop of Waynesboro. Running a store taught him more about managing people, finances, and customer needs. It was a fast-paced world, but it prepared him for something even more hands-on.

In 2016, Joe followed his passion for home improvement and founded Henschel’s Handyman Service and Home Renovation. He did everything from minor repairs to full home updates. Over time, he realized his favorite projects were the smaller ones—service calls, fixes, and touch-ups that make a house feel like home.

In 2024, Joe rebranded the business to Joe Henschel Handyman to reflect this shift. He now focuses more on service-oriented jobs—quick, reliable, and often urgent work that homeowners need done right the first time.

Joe is licensed and insured, giving customers peace of mind. He takes pride in offering honest, skilled service with no shortcuts. Clients trust him to show up on time, listen carefully, and finish the job with care.

While he’s skilled in all areas of construction, Joe has a few specialties. He enjoys electrical work, plumbing, finished carpentry, and flooring. These trades require precision, and Joe loves the challenge. He believes that great craftsmanship shows in the details.

Joe doesn’t just fix homes—he helps people live better. Whether it’s replacing a broken faucet, patching drywall, or upgrading a light fixture, he knows small jobs can make a big difference.

Living and working in Charlottesville has been rewarding for Joe. He enjoys helping neighbors, building relationships, and making people feel good about their homes. Every job is a chance to solve a problem and leave a positive impact.

Joe believes in doing the job right, even if it takes extra time. That commitment to quality keeps his clients coming back and recommending him to others.

Outside of work, Joe stays grounded through the things he loves most—spending time with his family, staying active, and exploring new places. Whether he’s going for a run, lifting weights, or planning a weekend getaway, he values balance and believes a strong work ethic starts with a healthy lifestyle. Travel helps him recharge, while time with family reminds him why he works so hard in the first place.

Today, Joe Henschel Handyman is a trusted name in Charlottesville. From quick fixes to detailed renovations, Joe continues to grow his business one satisfied customer at a time. His story is one of hard work, personal growth, and a deep belief in doing right by others—on the job and off.
