About Proud Homes
Local, Reliable, and Here When You Need Us
At Proud Homes, we believe everyone deserves a home and a handyman they can rely on. If you’re a busy parent juggling a long to-do list, a young couple fixing up your first home, or a property manager needing a dependable team, we’re here to help.
Based in Melbourne, we offer expert handyman services, home repairs, small renovations, and property maintenance with a friendly, personal touch.
We’re not just ticking off tasks we’re building long-term relationships and taking pride in every job we do.
Meet Chris — The Man Behind Proud Homes
Proud Homes was founded by Chris James, a hands-on tradie with a heart for helping others and a reputation for doing things right the first time. Chris started the business with a simple goal: to make life easier for people by delivering quality, trustworthy work without the hassle. His years of experience and down-to-earth communication style have made him a favourite among clients who just want things done properly.
Chris is still on the tools today, leading by example and ensuring that every Proud Homes job meets the high standards he’s built the business around.
A Helping Hand for Homes and Businesses
From odd jobs around the house to larger property maintenance tasks, we offer a wide range of services designed to make life easier. We understand that not everyone has the time, tools, or skills to keep up with repairs and maintenance and that’s where we come in.
We proudly support homeowners, aged care providers, NDIS coordinators, schools, real estate agents, and commercial property managers. No matter the client or size of the job, we bring the same level of care, reliability, and attention to detail every time.
