About Us

About Lilypad Home Services

Rooted in Springfield. Built on Care.

Lilypad Property Services was founded in 2025 by Seth with a simple goal: provide Springfield-area homeowners with reliable, high-quality handyman work they can feel good about. We understand how frustrating it can be to find someone who shows up on time, communicates clearly, and takes pride in their work — so that’s exactly what we built Lilypad to be.

Our Lead Handyman, James Cleaver, brings decades of hands-on experience as both a handyman and mechanic. His attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and commitment to doing the job right set the standard for everything we do. We’re fully insured and known throughout the Clark County area for our professionalism, clear communication, and quality craftsmanship. Whether it’s a small repair or a larger home project, we treat your home with the same care and respect we would our own.

Meet the Team

The folks behind the mission.

We’re a small, local team with a big commitment to doing things the right way. These are the people who keep Lilypad running and who make sure every home, repair, and conversation reflects the care we believe in.

Seth Evans – CEO

Seth is the heart behind Lilypad Property Services. A lifelong learner and big-picture thinker, he’s always asking how we can do better for our tenants, our neighborhoods, and our town. Seth keeps us focused on our mission to make Springfield better, one house at a time. He lives in the area with his wife and twin daughters, and when he’s not working, you’ll likely find him reading a book, tending his garden, or playing a board game with friends. Friendly, curious, and grounded, Seth leads with vision and compassion.

Karen Cleaver – COO

Karen keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes. With a strong background in operations and a natural gift for organization, she’s the one making sure our systems work, and our team has what they need to succeed. Karen is also a mom of seven and brings that same nurturing spirit to her role at Lilypad, balancing care and structure in every detail. She's passionate about helping others, building community, and making sure everyone feels supported.

James Cleaver – Maintenance Supervisor

James is our go-to guy for anything that needs fixing. With over 25 years of experience in painting, woodworking, and home repairs, he brings craftsmanship, reliability, and genuine pride in a job well done. He believes in working until the customer is satisfied, and he’s got the skills and the heart to back it up. Whether he’s swapping out a faucet or mounting a TV, James treats every project with care. When he's not helping our tenants, he’s likely spending time with his family or working on a creative project.

Handyman Services

Here for the small stuff that makes a big difference.

We know what it’s like to call a handyman and never hear back, or worse, get a half-done job.

That’s where we come in. Our work ethic and attention to detail are the real deal, and we’re proud to offer our services to the Springfield community.
