Meet Charlie Evans
Rocket and turbine systems. Manufacturing and design. Nearly three decades of solving problems that had to be right the first time — now brought home.
The story
Why I started Ocean Edge
For most of my career I solved complex mechanical problems — rockets, turbines, manufacturing, and design — where careful troubleshooting and doing it correctly the first time really mattered.
I built Ocean Edge to use that same experience in a more personal way: helping homeowners fix the small but important issues that affect how a home feels every day — the slider that won’t open, the ceiling stain before a closing, the trim that was never finished.
The goal isn’t to be the biggest handyman company. It’s to be dependable, thoughtful, and skilled enough to solve the problems that matter — and to over-deliver when I do.
How I Work
The way every Ocean Edge job is done
Honest first
An honest look and a clear explanation of the options — repair, replace, or best value. No pressure, no invented problems.
Skilled, not band-aid
Decades of mechanical troubleshooting means finding the real cause, not just covering the symptom.
Respectful in the home
Floors protected, belongings handled with care, and the space left clean — better than it was found.
Clear communication
You’ll know what’s happening, what it costs, and when it’ll be done. When I take a job, I want you not to worry about anything.
