The city of Hopewell is launching a marketing and financing strategy to encourage repurposing vacant commercial buildings into viable business opportunities, and the first beneficiary a $75,000 loan is an iconic city restaurant.

Building Dreams and Structures: The Story of ABA Handyman Services LLC

In the heart of Prince George County, Virginia, a familiar sound resonates through the community—hammers pounding, saws buzzing, and the unmistakable chatter of a craftsman at work. This symphony of construction is the lifeblood of ABA Handyman Services LLC, a business that is as much about building trust as it is about building structures. For its founder, the journey to this point is a testament to dreams pursued and realized, one brick at a time. The story of ABA Handyman Services LLC begins well before its official launch in January 2025. It is rooted in the rich tapestry of construction, carpentry, and masonry skills honed over years of working alongside family in a distant land. These skills were not just passed down but were polished with dedication and passion. "I have always enjoyed building and seeing projects come to life," says the founder, whose initials form the business name, ABA. Arriving in the United States in 2021 on a K-1 visa, the founder brought more than just technical expertise; he brought a vision. With the support of his wife, who handles the scheduling, website, and social media updates, he navigated the complexities of American business ownership, patiently studying and preparing until the day he could turn his dream into a reality. "The process of learning how to run a business here was challenging, but it was a journey we embraced together," he recalls. His wife, a lifelong Prince George County resident, played a crucial role in helping the community learn about him and his business.
