If you ask Brandon Durka what drives him, his answer is simple: doing good work for good people. As the owner of CCMR Contracting, Brandon has built his business on quality, honesty, and the kind of hands-on service that only a true craftsman can deliver.

Based in Hamburg, where he’s lived his entire life, Brandon covers the greater WNY area—offering everything from painting, drywall repair, and gutter cleaning to light fixture installations, TV mounting, and general property maintenance. In short, if something needs fixing, improving, or installing, he’s your go-to handyman. “I’ve always been interested in contracting and construction,” he shares. “Even as a kid, I knew this was what I wanted to do.”

Before launching CCMR Contracting in 2021, Brandon spent years learning the ropes at commercial and industrial companies, gaining experience on large-scale painting projects across the state. Those experiences gave him the foundation to build his own business—one rooted in independence and pride of ownership. “I’ve always been a very hands-on, independent person,” he explains. “I knew I wanted to do things my way and take care of customers the right way.”

What sets Brandon apart is his approachable, down-to-earth nature. He’s not just a contractor; he’s the kind of person who’ll take a call to answer a homeowner’s question—even if it doesn’t lead to a job. “If someone needs advice or a bit of guidance, I’m happy to help. I like people to feel comfortable reaching out. There’s no pressure—just honest help.”

That mindset comes from his grandfather, Jake, who was both a diesel mechanic and an electrician—and the family’s go-to fixer. “He could do anything. I learned from watching him that being a jack-of-all-trades wasn’t just about skill; it was about being dependable. That’s what I try to live up to.”

Brandon and his wife, Jolene, are high school sweethearts raising two young sons, Tommy and Caleb, in the same neighborhood where he grew up. Family means everything to him. “They’re my reason for everything,” he says with a smile. “I’m hoping one day my boys will work alongside me and learn the trade too.”

When he’s not working or spending time with family, Brandon enjoys dirt biking, four-wheeling, and playing music—a hobby he once shared with his dad in a local band.

For homeowners, the benefit of working with CCMR Contracting is clear: you get reliability, craftsmanship, and peace of mind. Whether it’s fixing a leak, tackling a renovation, or hanging the holiday lights, Brandon treats every project with care as if it were his own home.

“Just give me a call,” he says. “Once we talk through what you need, I’ll find a way to help—whether that means doing the work myself or pointing you in the right direction. I’m here to make things easier for people.”
