A new house with bare walls and a long to-do list doesn’t just test your patience—it can spark a business that serves a whole neighborhood. That’s how Lawrence Adams turned a personal need for TV mounting, blinds, and furniture assembly into Lyndale's Honey Do List, a trusted local service built on speed, care, and integrity. We walk through his path from helping friends in Embrey Mill to creating a repeatable, professional process that saves homeowners time, stress, and surprise costs.
Lawrence breaks down the biggest DIY myth: if a video makes it look easy, your walls will agree. He explains the unseen steps that keep projects safe—finding studs, choosing the right anchors, protecting wiring, aligning brackets under load—and why patience and the right tools are non-negotiable. Along the way, he shares practical tips for knowing when to call a pro, how to prep a space so the job takes minutes instead of hours, and the simple checklist that prevents damage before it happens.
We also dig into what sustains a local service business beyond the work itself. Lawrence’s philosophy is clear: enjoy the craft, plan like a pro, and lead with integrity. His story about returning a duplicate payment to a client with dementia reveals the values behind the brand—and why his reviews sound the same for a reason. Outside the job, faith and family keep him grounded, from supporting his daughter’s marching band to making time for church, the gym, and weekly date nights. It’s a portrait of service that feels both practical and personal: dependable help, done right, by a neighbor who cares.
If you’re weighing DIY vs. hire, starting a home services business, or just need a reliable hand for the next project, this conversation will help you act with confidence. Subscribe, share this episode with a neighbor who’s been staring at a TV mount, and leave a quick review to help more locals find us.

This is the Fredericksburg Neighbors
Podcast, the place where localbusinesses and neighbors come
together.
Here's your host, Dori Stewart.
Speaker 02 (00:12):
Welcome back to another episode of the FXBG
Neighbors Podcast, where weshare the stories of our
favorite local brands.
I'm excited to introduce you tomy guest today.
Joining me, we have LawrenceAdams with Lyndale's Honey Do
List.
Lawrence, welcome to thepodcast.
Speaker 01 (00:31):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 02 (00:33):
I'm excited to get to know you and learn more about
your business.
So let's start there.
Can you please share with thelisteners a little bit about
your business?
Speaker 01 (00:43):
Yes.
Originally I'm from Texas.
I moved here in 2014, came uphere for a job interview.
What happened was me and mywife and my wife had a great,
great marriage.
So we wanted to purchase ahome.
When we purchased a home, uh wenoticed that here in the Embry
Mills area, uh, we noticed thatwe purchased a new home.
There was nothing in there.
(01:04):
So we I had to physically doeverything.
I had to put up the ceilingfans, window blinds, mount the
TVs, assemble furniture.
And I was like, hey, no one'shere to help me with my honey do
list.
So next thing you know, I said,okay, I got pretty good at it.
I enjoyed it.
Next thing you know, we hadother friends who purchased
homes in the same area, and Iwent to help them.
And hey, can you do this?
(01:25):
I said, Of course.
I'm used to this because I'vealready done it already.
So it just became a passion ofmine.
I just enjoyed doing it, andit's just turned into a
business.
And that's how Lyndale's HoneyDo List was formed, wanting to
help others.
Because I know if I was bymyself, I'm pretty sure there's
a ton of people who were bythemselves.
So that's how I kind ofstarted.
And for me, when I when I dobusiness, it's like a freedom
(01:46):
for me because it's it's fun forme.
So I just enjoy doing it.
So let me start a business, andhere I am.
Speaker 02 (01:52):
I love that so much.
And so let me ask you this canyou tell us what is your range
of services that you offer?
Speaker 01 (02:02):
The main thing I do now are are TV mounting, um,
furniture assembly, and windowblinds.
Um, I will help out with otherthings, um, just small tasks
around the house.
Um, believe it or not,yesterday or Monday, I helped
someone take a old airconditioner out of their wall
that's been there since for 20years.
(02:23):
So little things like that,nothing major.
Um, again, I just love helpingpeople.
So that's my range, mainly TVmounting, furniture assembly,
window blinds, just small tasksaround the house.
Speaker 02 (02:35):
Such a needed service.
We moved into our house uh alittle over a year ago.
And oh my goodness, hangingthat TV.
That was not fun.
So the fact that you enjoythat, you have a gift.
That was not fun.
Speaker 01 (02:50):
It's about the tools and understanding what you're
looking for.
It's about repetition too.
With the more repetition you doit, the better you get at it,
and the better tools you gettoo.
So it's a little bit simplerfor me.
Streamlining for me, the MountTV is probably 30 minutes now.
If that, it's just finding thestuds, then doing my thing.
Speaker 02 (03:07):
All right, you hear that, homeowners.
Instead of us trying to figureit out and go into Home Depot
and buying all the tools andfiguring it all out, just call
Lawrence, he can get it done in30 minutes.
I love it.
Speaker 01 (03:21):
Exactly.
If you got everything prepared,though, a lot of people don't
have stuff prepared.
It's everywhere.
So I get it.
Speaker 02 (03:26):
Oh, I'm sure.
I'm sure.
What a needed service.
Okay, so thank you for sharingthat.
And so let me ask you this areyou finding that there are any
myths or misconceptions aboutwhat you do or about the
industry?
Speaker 01 (03:42):
100%.
One misconception is like youjust said, the DIY.
Anybody can do it.
That's not true because youhave to be patient.
And a lot of people look atYouTube and think, okay, I can
do it.
Then they get involved.
I hate to say it like this.
This is one of my one of mybiggest clientels is that people
(04:02):
call, hey Lawrence, I need thisdone.
I started, then I get there, Ihave to redo everything they've
done to start all over because Igot stuck in the middle or
whatever, or they screwsomething wrong.
So it's the the biggest myth isI can do it by myself without
the proper tools and the properresearch because it looks easy
on YouTube when others are doingit.
Even looking at me do it, heyLawrence, I can do that.
(04:22):
Then next thing you know, youdone tripped the electrical cord
or the power line or somethinglike that.
It's done gotten out of hand.
Some people just get frustratedin the middle of the process,
and that's what I love about myjob.
You can't skip a step becauseif you skip a step, you'll mess
everything up down the line.
And that's what I've beenreally been uh making a lot of
business on was people callingme saying, Hey Lawrence, I
(04:45):
tried, but I can't do it.
Then I get there, I have to, ittakes longer to undo the
problems than it takes toactually build the problem.
So that's one of the biggestmyths that DIYs is simple and
easy.
It's easy if you're patient andyou have the proper tools.
And I always say this to peopleif you've never done it before,
get someone like me to come into at least look at what I'm
(05:06):
doing.
That way you don't messsomething up because a lot of
times people mess up theproduct, they can't return
product or it's it's crooked orit's damaged because they just
didn't take the time to do it.
So a big myth is I can do itbecause they did it, it doesn't
work like that.
Speaker 02 (05:20):
So that's why it's never as easy as it seems ever.
Speaker 01 (05:24):
If you get a box, let's say a uh a table something
or even a dresser, it's atleast 50 parts in there, and
each part has an intricatedetail where it's supposed to
go.
And if you mess one thing up,you can mess the entire thing
up.
So that's why I'm saying it'snot as easy as it looks, but if
you be patient, take your time.
Most people don't havepatience.
That's why I'm in business, bythe way.
(05:45):
Uh it's just if you be patientand do it, anyone can do it, but
it just takes patience andtime.
And most people don't have timeor patience if that makes
sense.
Speaker 02 (05:54):
So you were really smart and you saw a need and you
started a business from thatneed.
And so tell me, if someone wereto come to you and ask you for
some advice, because they'rethinking about starting a
business, what advice would yougive them?
Speaker 01 (06:13):
For me, um, I would want people to understand that
to start a business, it takesplanning.
Anyone can just pop up abusiness, but it's about being
successful.
And if you're not successful inlife, in business, it's going
to fail and you won't enjoydoing what you're doing.
So the first thing I say isthat you want to enjoy doing
(06:35):
what you do, what you'rewhatever it is, whatever
business you're in.
So with me, I enjoy mountingTVs, I enjoy furniture assembly,
I enjoy uh hanging windowblinds, I enjoy helping people,
you know, such as yourself.
You would call me, you'd kindof be stress-free.
Lawrence got to get out theway.
That's what most people do.
But I would just say enjoydoing what you're doing uh
(06:56):
first.
And I think the second thing isyou want to have business
integrity because we're lackingthat in in a lot of areas.
And let me give you an example.
Uh, one day I went to assemblea recliner and a table for a
lady, and she was dealing withdementia and uh Alzheimer's
disease.
I'm sorry about that.
(07:16):
And she paid me cash when Ifirst got there.
And I was like, Thank you, XYZ.
I did the work, she wassatisfied.
She gave me a glowing review.
Um, I left, and when I gothome, she paid the invoice.
I have an invoicing system thatI send electronically to you
know document stuff, but shepaid me with cash, so I couldn't
update it right then and there.
But she ended up paying metwice with the invoice and with
(07:38):
cash.
So I was like, okay.
And again, if I was didn't havebusiness integrity, I would
have just kept it and said, hey,you know, played it off.
But my conscience wouldn't letme do that.
And so what I did was Iactually went, drove back to the
lady's home.
Um, I gave her her cash back.
I said, You've paid me oncealready.
Um, I don't need this.
And I told our people, youknow, whoever was there, I said,
(08:00):
You got to be careful becausesomeone can take advantage of
her.
So the fact that I'm inbusiness, it doesn't mean that
I'm chasing dollars to make tomake me rich.
It's I want to help people.
And I think that's what's moreimportant than anything.
You want to help people solve aproblem that they can help, and
you don't want to takeadvantage of people.
So in business, you got to havethat business integrity and you
(08:21):
you should love and enjoy whatyou're doing because if you're
not doing that, it's gonna turnto a job.
And when it turns to a job,you'll be looking elsewhere in a
year or two.
Just that's that's my twosense.
Speaker 02 (08:32):
Yeah, no, that's such great advice, and it's so
important in business to have astrong why.
You know, for me, it's it's mywhy is I love helping businesses
grow.
And when I see them grow, I getI get a lot of satisfaction.
And so you, you know, your whyis you know, you want to you
want to genuinely help peopleand um for all business owners
(08:54):
remembering why you got in thisto begin with, then it doesn't
start to feel like a job.
So that's really great advice.
Thank you for that.
Speaker 01 (09:02):
No problem.
Speaker 02 (09:04):
So you are clearly working hard and taking care of
your customers.
So when you're not working,tell me, what are you doing for
fun?
Speaker 01 (09:13):
Oh, I'm a fun person.
Uh, I'm loving the place.
Uh me and my wife, we love totravel.
My wife, Kenya, and I, we loveand my daughter Michaela.
We love traveling.
Um, we love going to see thegrandkids.
We have four children, sevengrandchildren.
Uh, well, one's on the way, alittle boy.
I got six girls and one boy onthe way, so I can see him in
December.
But we love traveling.
(09:33):
Um, I love going to the gymworking out up here in uh
Stafford at One Life Fitness.
That's a shout out.
I love that gym.
I love the hot tub more thananything.
It's more just relaxing andjust get to relax my body, but
just staying healthy, stuff likethat, as we all should.
Uh, I love going to church.
Uh, my church is Mount OliveBaptist Church in Woodbridge.
Um, I love my church family.
Uh, my pastor's Pastor Clyde W.
(09:54):
Ellis Jr.
Um, I enjoy going to church.
It gives me peace, it gives mepurpose, it gives me just
clarity of why I'm here.
You know, it's a greater call,if you will.
Um, I love helping withprojects.
I love playing cards, I loveplaying games.
Um, me and my wife have datenights.
We try to have date nightsevery week.
We're getting good at that,we're getting better at that.
Um, and also love supporting mydaughter.
(10:16):
She's um the drum major atColonial Forge High School in
Stafford, and she's a drummajor, and I'm in the pit.
So, and my wife's inconcession, so I'll be running
the pit with the guys, props andstuff like that.
And my wife does concessions,feeding the kids and stuff like
that.
So we just enjoy spending timeas a family.
Um, I just love hanging with myfriends and just having good
times.
Um, I love a greatconversation, by the way.
(10:38):
Uh, my grandmother is 92 yearsold.
I get to see her in a coupledays.
So just love talking with herjust about the Lord and just
about work.
She loves what's here I'mdoing, and she's in Texas.
So just things like that.
Just love a great conversation.
So life is what you make.
Yep.
Speaker 02 (10:56):
You're you're very rooted in faith and family, and
that's what keeps you groundedwhen, especially in business,
when it starts to get crazy.
I love that.
Speaker 01 (11:05):
Exactly.
Yep.
Speaker 02 (11:07):
So tell me, what is something that you wish the
listeners knew about Lyndale'sHoney Do list?
Speaker 01 (11:15):
That's a great question.
Um, what I want our listenersto understand is that you have
help in your community, and I'mhere to help homeowners,
businesses, senior citizens,veterans, single parents, single
mothers, single dads, uh,married husbands, married women,
especially the married men,we've got to stick together.
(11:36):
So I guess my point is you havehelp in your community, and you
don't have to go far to findit.
And again, I'm very flexible inmy community.
If you if you go to my website,read all my reviews, they're
pretty much the same, you know,good, good, good, good, good.
But it's just I'm very flexibleand I love helping people.
So if you just have some someother small minuscule task, if I
(11:57):
can't do it, I can find someonewho can.
So with me, you have help.
You don't have to sit there andstruggle or try to figure
something out and mess somethingup.
So that's my main thing isunderstanding that we have local
help in our community.
Um, and I have a crew thatcomes with me, takes care of
everything.
Everything is always, always,always approved by you until
(12:18):
you're satisfied.
If you're not satisfied, I havenot done my job.
And if I haven't done my job, Iwant to hear from you and
saying, what can I do to make itright?
So it's more so about customersatisfaction.
Uh, I've been a retail forabout five years, so I
understand customersatisfaction.
And a lot of my customers arerepeat customers.
I have customers up here whereI live, uh, two ladies in
(12:38):
particular said, Lawrence, ifever I have something going on,
I'm going to call you first.
So, and I love it.
So, it's just customersatisfaction, but just knowing
that you have help here in thecommunity to with your projects.
Speaker 02 (12:50):
Amazing.
Amazing.
And if the listeners want toconnect with you and learn more
from you, where can they findyou?
Speaker 01 (12:58):
Easy.
Um, my website islyndaleshoneydolist.com.
I'm on uh social mediaplatforms, uh, I'm on Angie's
List, um, I'm on NextdoorNeighbor.
You can find me anywhere.
Even my phone number is540-227-7078.
You can call or text.
You can book appointmentsonline also too.
(13:19):
Um, we're we're here wheneveryou need us here, if that makes
sense.
So all it is, just a textmessage or phone call.
And again, if you have aproblem with something, just
give us a call, text, orwhatnot, and we'll answer to the
best of our ability.
So that's how you can reach outto me.

So the fact that you enjoythat, you have a gift.

It's about the tools and understanding what you're

It's about repetition too.
With the more repetition you doit, the better you get at it,

So it's a little bit simplerfor me.
Streamlining for me, the MountTV is probably 30 minutes now.
If that, it's just finding thestuds, then doing my thing.

Instead of us trying to figureit out and go into Home Depot

I love it.
Speaker 01 (03:21):
Exactly.
If you got everything prepared,though, a lot of people don't

It's everywhere.
So I get it.
Speaker 02 (03:26):
Oh, I'm sure.
I'm sure.
What a needed service.
Okay, so thank you for sharingthat.
And so let me ask you this areyou finding that there are any
myths or misconceptions aboutwhat you do or about the
industry?
Speaker 01 (03:42):
100%.
One misconception is like youjust said, the DIY.
Anybody can do it.
That's not true because youhave to be patient.
And a lot of people look atYouTube and think, okay, I can

Then they get involved.
I hate to say it like this.
This is one of my one of mybiggest clientels is that people
(04:02):

Then I get there, I have to, ittakes longer to undo the

It's easy if you're patient andyou have the proper tools.
And I always say this to peopleif you've never done it before,

Most people don't havepatience.
That's why I'm in business, bythe way.
(05:45):
Uh it's just if you be patientand do it, anyone can do it, but
it just takes patience andtime.
And most people don't have timeor patience if that makes

Speaker 02 (05:54):
So you were really smart and you saw a need and you
started a business from thatneed.
And so tell me, if someone wereto come to you and ask you for

And I think the second thing isyou want to have business
integrity because we're lackingthat in in a lot of areas.
And let me give you an example.
Uh, one day I went to assemblea recliner and a table for a

disease.
I'm sorry about that.
(07:16):
And she paid me cash when Ifirst got there.
And I was like, Thank you, XYZ.
I did the work, she wassatisfied.
She gave me a glowing review.
Um, I left, and when I gothome, she paid the invoice.

So I was like, okay.
And again, if I was didn't havebusiness integrity, I would
have just kept it and said, hey,you know, played it off.
But my conscience wouldn't letme do that.
And so what I did was Iactually went, drove back to the
lady's home.
Um, I gave her her cash back.
I said, You've paid me oncealready.
Um, I don't need this.
And I told our people, youknow, whoever was there, I said,
(08:00):
You got to be careful becausesomeone can take advantage of
her.
So the fact that I'm inbusiness, it doesn't mean that
I'm chasing dollars to make tomake me rich.
It's I want to help people.
And I think that's what's moreimportant than anything.
You want to help people solve aproblem that they can help, and
you don't want to takeadvantage of people.
So in business, you got to havethat business integrity and you
(08:21):
you should love and enjoy whatyou're doing because if you're
not doing that, it's gonna turnto a job.
And when it turns to a job,you'll be looking elsewhere in a
year or two.
Just that's that's my twosense.
Speaker 02 (08:32):
Yeah, no, that's such great advice, and it's so
important in business to have astrong why.
You know, for me, it's it's mywhy is I love helping businesses
grow.
And when I see them grow, I getI get a lot of satisfaction.
And so you, you know, your whyis you know, you want to you
want to genuinely help peopleand um for all business owners
(08:54):
remembering why you got in thisto begin with, then it doesn't
start to feel like a job.
So that's really great advice.
Thank you for that.

your customers.

Speaker 02 (10:56):
You're you're very rooted in faith and family, and
that's what keeps you groundedwhen, especially in business,
when it starts to get crazy.
I love that.
Speaker 01 (11:05):
Exactly.
Yep.
Speaker 02 (11:07):
So tell me, what is something that you wish the
listeners knew about Lyndale'sHoney Do list?
Speaker 01 (11:15):
That's a great question.
Um, what I want our listenersto understand is that you have
help in your community, and I'mhere to help homeowners,
businesses, senior citizens,veterans, single parents, single
mothers, single dads, uh,married husbands, married women,
especially the married men,we've got to stick together.
(11:36):
So I guess my point is you havehelp in your community, and you
don't have to go far to findit.
And again, I'm very flexible inmy community.
If you if you go to my website,read all my reviews, they're
pretty much the same, you know,good, good, good, good, good.
But it's just I'm very flexibleand I love helping people.
So if you just have some someother small minuscule task, if I
(11:57):
can't do it, I can find someonewho can.
So with me, you have help.
You don't have to sit there andstruggle or try to figure
something out and mess somethingup.
So that's my main thing isunderstanding that we have local
help in our community.
Um, and I have a crew thatcomes with me, takes care of
everything.
Everything is always, always,always approved by you until
(12:18):
you're satisfied.
If you're not satisfied, I havenot done my job.
And if I haven't done my job, Iwant to hear from you and
saying, what can I do to make itright?
So it's more so about customersatisfaction.
Uh, I've been a retail forabout five years, so I
understand customersatisfaction.
And a lot of my customers arerepeat customers.
I have customers up here whereI live, uh, two ladies in
(12:38):
particular said, Lawrence, ifever I have something going on,
I'm going to call you first.
So, and I love it.
So, it's just customersatisfaction, but just knowing
that you have help here in thecommunity to with your projects.
Speaker 02 (12:50):
Amazing.
Amazing.
And if the listeners want toconnect with you and learn more
from you, where can they findyou?
Speaker 01 (12:58):

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
