You will be happy to meet and work with Andy, a trusted expert in the Santa Barbara community.
Before coming to the United States, Andy worked as a chef and manager of the high-end, 100-seat Prinz Myshkin vegetarian restaurant in Munich, Germany. Living In Sedona, Arizona, for over 20 years, Andy expanded his career to a broad variety of home services.
In beautiful Santa Barbara, he continues to upgrade various homes in town and Hawaii as a handyman and also acts as Estate Manager, Home Watch and Property Maintenance expert for his local clients.
Andy expresses his passion for food and health through his Personal Wellness Chef services, in-house cooking classes, and fun group tutorials.
Andy has extensive experience coordinating Home Solutions services. From inspecting a second home or showing you and your friends how to cook a delicious meal to working on projects as small as hanging up a heavy piece of art or as complex as planning an Ikea kitchen…Andy is in his element.
Andy is called to this field because he has a “service heart.” He thrives on providing exceptional service and helping the people around him find the correct solution while juggling a range of tasks. You can rely on his confidentiality, expertise, follow-up, and dedication to detail and quality.
The variety and effectiveness of Andy’s skills and his calm demeanor during any challenging situation are often surprising and always enriching for his clients.
Andy is an enthusiastic drummer and percussionist and has worked as a studio musician. He plays tennis, loves dogs and cats, and especially enjoys hiking with his partner, Martina, in the Santa Barbara hills.
My husband and I have been using Andy Kegler Home Solutions for all practical issues with our house for the past seven and a half years. We are so happy and satisfied with the quality and ethics of his work. From repairs and fixing things to painting and all-over home care.
He also has a sound designer’s eye and a great sense of how issues can be solved easily. Thank you, Andy!

Andy Kegler Home Solutions is our regular maintenance and handyman company. I wanted new blinds throughout the house. I went to several stores around town asking for estimates, but they were very expensive, so I asked Andy about it. He came, measured everything, told me about a reasonably priced website to order from, and installed them perfectly. From start to finish, he was communicative, attentive, and available.
Working with someone who knows what they are doing and actually cares is a gift. He is my #1 go-to person for around the house. After the rainy season ends, I will hire Andy to paint an outside wall and fix our fence.

Andy did an excellent HOME WATCH job for us whenever we needed help watching over our house when we were out of town. He is why we could be so relaxed when we were gone for extended periods. With aging parents not residing in the States, this meant several times that we needed someone on short notice. We also timed some of our messier home repairs and upgrades, which he did while we were on planned vacations.
Andy has so many skills and experience with so many things that we always felt comfortable tapping into his resources in all things related to our house and property.

I have learned several cooking tips and tricks from Andy and tasted many of his meals. Everything is always simple but delicious, healthy, and very tasty. Andy is lovely to be around, entertaining, and confident at passing on his know-how.
Meanwhile, I have also seen him manage a colossal move and organize a whole house from start to finish. He is just good…at whatever he does.
Robert Armstead, Santa Barbara
I recently moved, and Andy has been there every step of the way. He is a great manager and organizer and planned the whole thing. Andy also created a fabulous walk-in closet with an Ikea system. He hung up a yoga wall. I also hired him as a handyman to fix some door issues, hang up art, fix a fireplace, and paint an accent wall.
He always answers all my questions, is on time, and is so pleasantly…quiet.
