COLUMBIA FALLS, Mont., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Handy-Remodeler LLC has received federal trademark registration from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its company name, slogan and logo. Owner T.J. Ward filed all three applications; all three were approved, giving the Columbia Falls-based remodeling company exclusive nationwide rights to the Handy-Remodeler brand.

Ward, who began his contracting career in 1980, operated for most of that time under his own name before creating the Handy-Remodeler identity. He pursued federal registration — rather than the state-level registration common among small contractors — after researching the process and consulting an intellectual property attorney. Federal registration extends protection across all 50 states and permits use of the registered trademark symbol (®).

The company specializes in residential remodeling and handyman work, with bathroom remodeling making up a significant share of its projects. It describes itself as the small job specialist, taking one job at a time. Ward has been based in the Flathead Valley since 2018 and volunteers with Habitat for Humanity.

About Handy-Remodeler LLC: Handy-Remodeler LLC is a residential remodeling and handyman company based in Columbia Falls, Montana, serving Columbia Falls, Whitefish and surrounding Flathead County. Licensed, insured and federally trademarked. Learn more at https://handy-remodeler.com.
