Although he spent many years in corporate finance, his passion has always been building and improving homes for families. After living in Oxford for more than 30 years, he has become deeply connected to the community and is an active member of Christ Presbyterian Church. Wayne especially enjoys the restorative work of home repairs and takes pride in helping homeowners maintain and improve the places they live.

  • built in bookcases with a green background

    "The Good Neighbor team recently built, installed, and painted floor to ceiling, (and around windows), built-in bookcases in my home. They even helped me place books and objects in the completed bookcases!

    Their work was perfection and their presence delightful. What an honor it is to recommend their amazing work, which they perform with honesty and integrity."

    -Jeepsie S., in Taylor

  • Jim & Jennifer Phillips

    “The Good Neighbor team took on a number of projects at our home. They replaced light fixtures, relocated light switches and power boxes, installed a wall-mounted TV, and did a few minor plumbing repairs. They also framed in and installed a stained glass window into a transom in our kitchen. They are so friendly and conscientious, making sure I understood the costs and that I was pleased with the work—which I am! I have no hesitation about inviting them to work in your home."

    - Jim and Jennifer Phillips

  • “Working with Good Neighbor was one of the easiest and most reassuring experiences I’ve had with home repairs. They were professional, reliable, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right. It’s rare to find people you can fully trust in your home, and Good Neighbor made me feel comfortable every step of the way.”
