Why Robin

The over-educated handyman.

Robin Potts has spent 35 years in the building trades, most of them running jobs as a general contractor, before scaling Salty Dog down to the work he loves most: fixing things and helping people out.

He's the guy you call when you want it done right the first time, and the guy who will tell you straight when something isn't worth fixing.

"I'm not trying to chase the dollar. I'm just trying to help people out."

Robin Potts

The experience never left, either. When a job calls for permits, Robin can still pull them across the trades here in North Carolina. Salty Dog Repairs, Inc. is insured.
