Today we’d like to introduce you to Kyle Gearhart.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I got into this line of work early on, just being hands-on and learning how to fix things the right way. Over the years, I worked in property maintenance, especially around the coast, dealing with everything from quick turnarounds in vacation rentals to larger repairs that couldn’t be cut short or done halfway.
Working in places like St. Simons Island, you see both sides of it—high-end homes, but also a lot of rushed or shortcut work behind the scenes. That stuck with me. I built my business around doing things the way they should be done the first time, even if it takes a little longer.
I started Gearhart Home Repair LLC to give homeowners and property owners something reliable—someone they can call who shows up, communicates, and handles the job right without cutting corners. Whether it’s a small repair or a full remodel, the goal is the same: solid, clean work that holds up.
Today, most of my work comes from repeat clients and referrals around Brunswick and St. Simons. That’s probably what I’m most proud of. In this line of work, your reputation is everything, especially in a tight-knit coastal community. I treat every job like it’s my name on it—because it is.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Starting out, one of the biggest challenges was building trust and getting my name out there, especially in areas like St. Simons where people expect a high level of quality and reliability.
Another challenge has been dealing with work that wasn’t done right the first time. A lot of what I run into is fixing or redoing jobs that were rushed or cut short, and that can be tough because you’re not starting from a clean slate. It’s taught me to be very detail-oriented and to communicate clearly with clients about what it takes to do things properly.
Like most small businesses, there’s also the balancing side—managing schedules, materials, and customer expectations while still being the one on the job doing the work. Early on, that can stretch you thin, but it forces you to get organized and stay consistent.
Overall, those challenges have shaped how I run my business today. I focus a lot on communication, setting clear expectations, and making sure the work is done right the first time. In this line of work, your reputation follows you, especially in a coastal community like ours, so every job matters.
