Our story
The master carpenter who answers the phone
Clay Bucy's grandpa served in the Navy during World War II and then went to work as a carpenter, and his dad served in the Air Force in Vietnam and after that he went back to work as a carpenter. Clay joined the U.S. Air Force to work on jets; they needed a carpenter, and he stayed in that role for thirty years. He built houses in Ohio and living quarters on three continents, plus Iraq and Afghanistan. He retired a Senior Master Sergeant, put his tools in a shop in Spartanburg, and opened Mission Ready Repairs in September 2025.
He started it because of the calls nobody returns. One door that won't latch isn't worth a crew's morning, so the homeowner leaves a message and hears nothing back. Those are the jobs he takes. On a door like that, Clay checks the hinges before he touches the door itself, then shims the jamb until the gap runs even top to bottom. He vacuums the shavings off your floor on the way out.

Clay, in his own words
Why your house is doing that
A repair that comes back was never fixed. It was covered. Something behind it is still moving, and if nobody goes looking for it, the crack is back next season. So I cut the damage back to a clean edge and look at what's behind it. Then I patch.
A crack running off the top corner of a door opening means something different from one running down a ceiling seam. Once you can tell those apart, you know which of them needs a phone call. Some can sit another season. If yours is one of those, I'll say so. The door that binds every June and swings fine by October is its own story, and I've written it out for you: why your doors stick every summer.
Working a list instead of one repair? I take punch lists for homeowners, and closing punch lists and turn checklists for realtors and property managers.
