Home, Cabin & Office Repair, Maintenance and Improvements

My name is Kent Vanattia, I am the sole owner of Arlis Home Services.

As you browse through these webpages you'll learn more about me and the different services that I offer. What I'll tell you here, is how I came to choose this career path.

I was born in Hillsboro, TN. My family owned a dairy farm. Grandpa and his own cattle but he and my Uncle also ran a "milk route". They picked up milk from other farms all over middle TN. We delivered it to a processing center along with our own milk.

I learned to take care of the equipment on this farm not long after I could walk. Along the milk route, it soon became obvious to me, even as a young boy that proper maintenance sure saved a lot of time and trouble.

That lesson served me well throughout my life. As a very young man, I joined the service. I found it easy to fall into a structured routine, I grew up that way. Later as I learned various trades my attention to detail and regimented style of learning and doing made it easy for me to retain and reuse my new found knowledge. And today, as I comb over a cabin for signs of potential problems or I am building a deck or other project ... I find it's the lessons of my youth that keep me on track.

I named my business Arlis, because it was my dad's name. He's not with me anymore and I miss him. My Dad never did anything half-way. So naming my business after him reminds me of the lessons he taught.
