ABOUT

I’m Vasile Visovan, a craftsman from northern Transylvania. I was born and raised in Maramureș County, a region famous for its traditional woodworking and old world craftsmanship.

In Romania, I learned early on how to repair, restore, and respect the tools and materials that build our homes. I watched my father fix everything—from reglazing windows and restoring fences to rewiring fuses during frequent power outages. This taught me the value of the “fix it, don’t replace it” mentality.

These skills and traditions traveled with me when I moved to the Pacific Northwest. Now, I call Mercer Island home.

Inspired by the craftsmanship of the Maramureș wooden churches, UNESCO heritage sites, I founded Old World Handyman, a family-owned business.

Every job is a reflection of my heritage and commitment to quality, durability, and craftsmanship. I ensure my work stands the test of time.

What Our Clients Say

  • Vasi saved us hundreds when he expertly replaced the workings of a very old toilet. No more leaking and a huge savings versus a new toilet. He quickly installed kitchen cabinet organizers that work flawlessly. He is a great communicator and very pleasant and business like to work with.

    Pam Ellison

  • Vasi expertly and quickly installed cabinet pull outs for us. They are well aligned, and he kept everything very clean and organized even as he was working. He pointed out other cabinets where the pull outs would work, and has clearly given a good deal of thought to kitchen efficiency. He helped me chose pullouts for a larger cabinet and offered to construct a plywood box to add capacity to an Amazon standard pull out, and maximize the storage for a non-standard size cabinet. Thank you Vasi!
