About Greg Trainor - Owner

Greg Trainor is not your average entrepreneur. With a passion deeply rooted in sustainability, craftsmanship, and community service, Greg has charted a path that is both unique and impactful. As the visionary behind Philly Handyman Remodeling & Renovations (PHRR), he brings over a decade of experience in deconstruction, job training, and architectural salvage to the forefront of home improvement and remodeling services in Philadelphia.

Before launching PHRR, Greg dedicated himself to the Philadelphia Community Corps (PCC), a nonprofit organization he founded to provide deconstruction job training for those most in need, including returning citizens, veterans, and high school dropouts. Through PCC and its architectural salvage store, Philly Reclaim, Greg made significant strides in repurposing materials and preserving the city’s architectural heritage, all while transforming lives by teaching valuable skills.

The transition from nonprofit leadership to heading a for-profit handyman and remodeling business might seem unconventional. However, for Greg, it’s a continuation of his commitment to making a tangible difference in people’s lives and in the urban landscape he calls home. His journey from PCC to PHRR is driven by a desire to apply his deep understanding of structures and sustainability in more immediate, practical ways, directly benefiting Philadelphia homeowners.

Greg’s vision for PHRR is clear: to offer unparalleled handyman and remodeling services that embody his core values of excellence, integrity, and innovation. He looks forward to not only addressing the everyday needs of his clients but also engaging in projects that reflect his lifelong commitment to sustainability and community development.
