About Brasfield

Local repairs done right. Not a franchise, not a gamble — a professional who shows up when they say they will.

Who We Are

Local Repair. Real Accountability.

Brasfield Residential Repair was built around a simple standard: show up when you say you will, do the work correctly, and treat a homeowner's property the way you'd want someone to treat yours.

We serve Tipton, Shelby, and Lauderdale counties — communities where people know each other and a business's reputation travels fast. That accountability matters to us. When we take on a repair, we're not rushing to the next job. We're fixing the problem in front of us, the right way.

Most of what we fix is stuff homeowners already know needs doing: the drywall patch they've been looking at for six months, the exterior paint that's peeling, the door that scrapes the frame every single time. These aren't emergencies — but they don't get better on their own, and putting them off long enough turns a small repair into a bigger one.

Brasfield handles the full list. Drywall, painting, carpentry, flooring, plumbing fixtures, gutters, decks — when you call, you're talking to someone who can actually do the work, not a dispatcher routing you to a subcontractor you've never met.

The Man Behind the Business

Born and raised in West Tennessee in 1979. Part of the Brasfield's Body Shop family — fixing things is in his blood. West TN always called him back.

Machinist

Started his trade career in precision machining — learning the value of exact tolerances and doing it right the first time.

Aviation Mechanic — A.A.S. Aviation Maintenance

Earned his Associate's degree in Aviation Maintenance and became a certified aviation mechanic — a field where mistakes aren't an option.

Industrial Maintenance & Mechatronics / Robotics

B.S. in Business — Setting Out on His Own

Now holding a Bachelor's degree in Business, Gary has combined a lifetime of skilled trades with the knowledge to run a professional operation — and he's bringing all of it home to West Tennessee.

Gary Brasfield

Owner & Operator · Atoka, TN

Gary was born in Dyersburg, Tennessee in 1979. He's moved away from West Tennessee a time or two over the years — but home has a way of pulling you back. He's part of the Brasfield's Body Shop family, and growing up around people who fix things for a living left its mark.

His career has covered more ground than most. He started out as a machinist, then earned his Associate's degree in Aviation Maintenance and worked as an aviation mechanic — a field where there's simply no room for cutting corners. From there he moved into industrial maintenance, and eventually into mechatronics and robotics, diagnosing and keeping complex systems running at an industrial level.

He's since earned his Bachelor's degree in Business and decided it was time to build something of his own — something rooted right here in the communities he knows.

"

He has the drive, the work ethic, and the ambition.

Now all he needs is the trust of his community. That's where you come in.

Why Homeowners Should Choose Brasfield Over the Alternatives

There are two common options when something needs fixing: a national franchise or a referral from a neighbor. Here is how Brasfield is different from both.

Not a Franchise

National franchise chains send whoever is available, bill at corporate rates, and route your calls through a call center. Brasfield is a local business. When you call, you're reaching someone who knows the work and is coming to do it themselves.

Reliable, Not Hit-or-Miss

A referral from a neighbor can be great, or it can be someone who shows up late, starts the job, and disappears. Brasfield operates like a business — confirmed appointments, clear estimates, and work finished the way it was described.

Broad Skill, One Call

Many specialists will only handle one trade. If you have a running list of repairs, Brasfield can work through multiple items in one visit — drywall, painting, carpentry, fixtures — without coordinating a different contractor for each job.
