What clients say about us
Jacob truly is a creative repairman! He had our sink fixed in 3 minutes, then tackled every task with skill and expertise. Our bathroom, kitchen, and doors needed so much fixing and he did it all with ease! We are so grateful we found him and we can’t wait to hire him again for all of our home repair needs!

Jacob, did an fantastic job! My dryer was making a loud noise. . . Not only did he fix the noise but he cleaned out all the lint! He was prompt, he was able to come service the next day, efficient, and very professional. My dryer is now running better than when we first bought our house! 100% Recommend!

Jacob is excellent at fixing just about anything. He came to my home and fixed a multitude of tasks: installing new weatherstripping on my garage door, replacing electric lighting switches, renewing the stripping around the bathtub, and fixing the latch on the sliding door with new locks. I would highly recommend Jacob Dostaler as a handyman.

I had an excellent experience with The Creative Repairman and couldn't be happier with the quality of work completed. He was professional, punctual and detail-oriented from start to finish. Every project, big or small was handled with care and precision. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing quality handyman services and will be calling him again for future projects.

Needed my dryer fixed asap! I was referred to Jacob who came to my home on time (twice) and did an absolute amazing job replacing rollers & new belt. He explained what he was doing clearly & even ordered the parts I needed! Such a gentleman. Jacob is definitely a 5 🌟 repairman!!!

My old closet doors constantly came off the rails, making the closet frustrating to use. Jacob repurposed the old door into a custom barn-style door that works beautifully and completely changed the space. The final result not only works perfectly, but it completely transformed the space and exceeded my expectations.

For the past year, my washer would shake and make a loud banging noise every time the spin cycle came on. It got so bad that I started going to the laundromat. Jacob came over, figured out what it needed, ordered the parts, and fixed it. Now it’s so quiet that I catch myself checking on it, even during the spin cycle. It feels like a brand-new washing machine.

Our back yard gate was dragging on the ground, the wood was old and cracked, and the latch quit working a long time ago. Jacob got a new latch and built a new gate for our backyard! The gate is sturdy, looks nice, and opens and closes easily with one hand!

Meet Jacob Dostaler
Owner of The Creative Repairman
Before starting The Creative Repairman, he spent years in instrumentation, calibration, and industrial maintenance, troubleshooting complex systems where accuracy, safety, and reliability mattered every day.
But, he noticed something missing from how appliance repair and handyman services were done: clear communication, honest recommendations, and workmanship that treats the home with respect. When Jacob brought those skills into residential work, the focus became simple: help homeowners keep their homes running smoothly.
Today, he provides residential appliance repair and handyman services in the Greater Lexington, KY area, combining technical problem-solving with hands-on craftsmanship. Whether he’s tracking down the cause of an appliance issue or handling home repairs and installations, his goal is the same: quality work, clear communication, and a clean finish you can trust.
