Quality General Construction Services in Pontotoc, Mississippi
Whether you're planning a room addition, kitchen remodel, basement finish, or whole-home renovation, M&T Handyman LLC brings general construction expertise to Pontotoc County and North Mississippi. We handle construction projects that transform your house into the home you've always wanted, combining skilled craftsmanship with practical project management and clear communication throughout the process.
General construction encompasses a wide range of building and remodeling services.

This comprehensive approach means one point of contact for your entire project, streamlined scheduling, and accountability from start to finish.
Construction Services We Provide in Pontotoc
Room Additions and Expansions
Need more space? Room additions provide square footage without moving. We handle bedroom additions, bathroom additions, sunroom construction, family room expansions, and garage conversions. Addition projects involve foundation work, framing, roofing, exterior finishing to match your existing home, interior finishing, electrical and plumbing coordination, and final inspections. We ensure additions look like original parts of your home, not obvious afterthoughts.
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen renovations transform the heart of your home. From minor updates to complete gut renovations, we handle demolition, layout changes, cabinet installation, countertop installation, backsplash work, flooring, lighting upgrades, and appliance installation. Mississippi kitchens need good ventilation due to humidity—we ensure proper airflow in our designs. We coordinate plumbing and electrical work with appropriate subcontractors while managing the overall project timeline.
Bathroom Renovations
Bathroom remodels range from simple updates to luxury spa-like retreats. We remove old fixtures and finishes, address any moisture damage or mold (common in Mississippi bathrooms), install new showers or tubs, tile work, vanity installation, toilet and sink replacement, lighting upgrades, and proper ventilation. Bathroom construction requires understanding waterproofing, proper slope for drainage, and moisture-resistant materials—expertise we bring to every project.
Basement Finishing and Conversions
While full basements are less common in Mississippi than up north, many homes have partial basements or crawl spaces that can become usable space. We finish basements into bedrooms, entertainment rooms, home offices, or storage areas. This involves moisture mitigation (critical in humid Mississippi), framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, and mechanical work. We address the unique challenges of below-grade spaces in our climate.
Garage Conversions
Converting garage space into living areas creates affordable square footage. We transform garages into bedrooms, home offices, gyms, workshops, or studios. Conversion work includes removing garage doors, framing and insulating walls, installing windows, adding HVAC, insulating for climate control, finishing interiors, and ensuring proper egress for code compliance.
Deck and Porch Construction
Outdoor living spaces extend your home's usable area. We build new decks, covered porches, screened porches, pergolas, and pavilions using wood or composite materials. Mississippi's climate demands weather-resistant construction, proper drainage, and materials that handle humidity without rotting. We build outdoor structures that last through our challenging climate.
Interior Remodeling
Room makeovers involve removing walls (load-bearing wall removal requires engineering), adding walls to create new rooms, replacing flooring, updating trim and molding, installing built-in storage, adding wainscoting or board-and-batten, creating coffered or tray ceilings, and various improvements that modernize and personalize your interior spaces.
Exterior Construction Projects
Exterior work includes siding replacement or repair, soffit and fascia replacement, exterior trim work, window and door replacement, porch construction or repair, and other projects that improve your home's curb appeal and weather protection. Mississippi homes face heat, humidity, and severe storms—our construction withstands these challenges.
Our Construction Project Process
1. Initial Consultation and Planning
We meet to discuss your vision, needs, budget, and timeline. This conversation helps us understand what you're trying to achieve and whether your ideas are feasible. We evaluate your existing space, take measurements, discuss options, and provide initial guidance on scope and approach.
2. Design and Estimates
Based on our consultation, we develop a detailed project plan with material specifications, labor requirements, timeline estimates, and comprehensive cost breakdown. We explain what's included and help you make informed decisions about materials and features that fit your budget.
3. Permits and Approvals
Most construction projects require building permits. We handle permit applications, submit required plans, schedule inspections, and ensure work meets Mississippi building codes and local requirements. Proper permits protect you and ensure work is done correctly.
4. Demolition and Preparation
We protect unaffected areas with plastic sheeting and barriers, remove old materials carefully (preserving what can be salvaged), address any underlying issues discovered during demolition, and prepare the site for new construction. Controlled demolition prevents unnecessary damage.
5. Construction Phase
We execute the construction work systematically: rough framing, mechanical installations (plumbing, electrical, HVAC coordinated with appropriate tradesmen), insulation, drywall, finish carpentry, flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, painting, and final details. We maintain clean work sites and communicate progress regularly.
6. Inspections and Final Walkthrough
Required inspections are scheduled and passed. We conduct a detailed final walkthrough with you, addressing any concerns before considering the project complete. We don't finish until you're satisfied.
