Mike Rocha is the hands and heart behind Handy Mike’s — a lifelong craftsman with a passion for making things better, stronger, and more beautiful. Raised around the tools and talents of his father and uncles, Mike grew up immersed in construction, home improvement, and a belief that hard work should speak for itself. Those early experiences built the foundation for what would become not just a career, but a calling. With every job he takes on, Mike brings a deep sense of personal pride and purpose. “There’s something incredibly fulfilling,” he says, “about transforming a space and then seeing the customer’s face when they realize what their hard-earned money made possible.” Whether restoring a worn-down wall, installing a new fixture, or completing a full home upgrade, Mike treats each project with the care and precision of someone working on their own home. He approaches his clients as more than just customers — many become friends or even like family. That mindset of care and connection has earned Handy Mike’s a business model built almost entirely on word of mouth, referrals, and repeat clients. “We’ve never had to spend much on advertising,” Mike says. “The work speaks for itself.” But that doesn’t mean he’s standing still. With encouragement from a close friend and business partner, Mike has embraced technology and tools to better serve his growing client base. His approach blends old-school reliability with modern-day responsiveness — always looking to learn from those with deeper experience, while staying sharp with new equipment and materials. Mike’s career spans dozens of proud moments, but one he recalls with humility is helping restore internet connectivity to Baton Rouge and surrounding areas after Hurricane Rita — a reminder that behind every service is someone relying on it. Today, he channels that same sense of responsibility into every home he steps into. Outside of work, Mike’s world revolves around his daughter, Addison, and his mother, Hope — both of whom inspire his dedication to excellence. Golf has also become a meaningful outlet, a passion he shares with Addison. “Golf is like life,” Mike says. “It teaches you something different every time you show up, and you can’t fake your way through it.” For Mike, honesty is non-negotiable. If he can’t take on a project, he’ll say so — and point you in the right direction. If he can, he’ll give you everything he’s got. “I know how much people put into their homes and their ideas,” he says. “It’s my job to honor that.” With a growing team and decades of hands-on knowledge, Mike leads Handy Mike’s with a commitment to quality, transparency, and trust — one project at a time.
Mike Rocha es el corazón y las manos detrás de Handy Mike’s, un profesional de toda la vida con una pasión por mejorar, fortalecer y embellecer los espacios. Desde pequeño, creció rodeado de herramientas y talento gracias a su padre y sus tíos, quienes le enseñaron sobre construcción, mantenimiento y el valor de que el trabajo hable por sí solo. Esas primeras experiencias sentaron la base de lo que hoy no solo es una carrera, sino una verdadera vocación. Cada proyecto lo toma con orgullo y propósito. “Es una sensación increíble,” dice Mike, “ver cómo se transforma un espacio, y luego ver la cara del cliente cuando entiende en qué se convirtió su dinero bien ganado.” Ya sea restaurando una pared dañada, instalando una lámpara, o renovando toda una casa, Mike trabaja con la misma dedicación que si estuviera en su propio hogar. Mike no ve a sus clientes como simples clientes. Muchos se convierten en amigos, y otros como parte de la familia. Ese enfoque de confianza y cercanía ha convertido a Handy Mike’s en un negocio que funciona casi exclusivamente a través de recomendaciones y clientes recurrentes. “Casi no hemos tenido que invertir en publicidad,” comenta Mike. “El trabajo habla por sí solo.” Aun así, Mike nunca se queda quieto. Gracias a un amigo cercano y socio del negocio, ha adoptado herramientas tecnológicas que le permiten crecer y atender mejor a sus clientes. Su enfoque combina la responsabilidad de siempre con la agilidad que exigen los tiempos actuales — siempre aprendiendo de quienes tienen más experiencia, y manteniéndose al día con las mejores herramientas del mercado. Su carrera incluye muchos momentos memorables, pero uno que recuerda con especial orgullo es haber ayudado a restablecer el internet en Baton Rouge y zonas aledañas tras el paso del huracán Rita. Fue una experiencia que le recordó lo esencial que puede ser un buen servicio, y la responsabilidad que viene con él. Hoy en día, lleva ese mismo compromiso a cada hogar que visita. Fuera del trabajo, Mike dedica su vida a su hija Addison y a su madre, Hope — dos pilares que lo inspiran a seguir dando lo mejor de sí. Además, el golf se ha convertido en una pasión personal, y una actividad que ahora comparte con Addison. “El golf es como la vida,” dice. “Siempre te deja una lección, y no hay manera de fingirlo.” La honestidad es uno de sus principios fundamentales. Si no puede tomar un proyecto, te lo dirá con sinceridad y te orientará con la mejor recomendación. Si lo toma, puedes estar seguro de que dará todo lo que tiene. “Sé lo que significa invertir tiempo, esfuerzo y dinero en una casa o un sueño,” afirma Mike. “Mi trabajo es honrar eso.” Con un equipo en crecimiento y años de experiencia directa, Mike lidera Handy Mike’s con compromiso, integridad y calidad — un proyecto a la vez.
No job too small. From simple fixture replacements for a single family to larger custom projects for businesses, Handy Mike’s team brings precision, care, and flexibility to every task. Below are just a few of the services we offer, and if it’s not listed, just ask!
