How this works best

Save the list. One visit fixes it.

The whole point of a handyman: jobs too small for a specialist, bundled into one visit that’s worth everyone’s time. Here is how to get the most out of it.

The list

Your fridge note is our worksheet.

How: Collect the small stuff: sticky door, loose rail, wall ding, dead caulk
Why: One trip, one setup, several fixes, the best value in the trade

Send the list before the visit and the right tools arrive the first time. Surprises on site are how half-days become full days.

Small, done right

Small is where corners hide.

Truth: A drywall patch shows every shortcut, a door reveals every rushed hinge
Standard: Same care at two hours as at two days

Nobody inspects a small job, which is exactly why how it’s done tells you everything about a company.

Our limits

Some jobs get a referral.

We stop at: Panel work, gas lines, structural walls, roof framing
Then: You hear “that needs a licensed specialist”, from us, first

A handyman who names his limits is the one you can trust inside them. Anyone who’ll “do anything” should worry you.

The visit

Know the math before the knock.

Fair models: Hourly with a minimum, or per-job, both honest when said up front
Materials: Yours or ours, decided before, not billed after

The minimum isn’t a trick, it’s what a trip, tools and insurance cost. It’s also why the list beats the single fix.

Rule of thumb: three or more small jobs on the list and the visit starts paying for itself. Keep the note going.

Straight pricing

One number. In writing. It doesn’t move.

No hourly meter, no surprise line items, no “while we’re at it”. You approve one clear quote before the first screw turns, so you know the cost up front.

The list review

We visit, measure every room and listen to what you actually want. Free, and it stays free.

Your clear quote

Every item, parts and labor, one line, one price. Approved by you before anything starts.

In writing03

Signed & guaranteed

The number lands in writing with a one-year workmanship warranty. If it isn’t right, we make it right.

The breakdown

What moves the number.

No mystery math. Four things decide what a handyman visit costs, and we walk every one with you before the quote lands.

Access & reachArm's length or up a ladder in a tight corner, how hard a thing is to get to shapes the time more than the fix itself.

Parts & hardwareThe right anchors, fixtures and hardware, whether you supply them or we source what will actually hold.

What's behind itStuds, old wiring, soft drywall or hidden rot, we check before a single screw goes in, so the price stays honest.

Length of the listOne item or a full page, more lines means more time, priced plainly, item by item.

Whatever the mix, you get one clear quote, in writing, before any work starts.

What a serious handyman quote includes, ours or anyone’s:

Every job on the list, itemized
Hourly or per-job, named, with any minimum
Materials: who buys, who marks up, stated
A time window you can plan around
What happens if a job runs long, agreed first
Insured, said plainly, it matters in your home

Small jobs deserve the same paper as big ones. That’s the whole difference between a pro and a guy with a truck.

Recent jobs

Real work, in plain numbers.

Three jobs from the past few months, what they were, where, and how long they actually took.

Whole-house honey-do list

Woodstock·1 day

Nineteen-item list knocked out in one visit: sagging closet doors re-shimmed and re-hung true, three loose towel bars re-anchored into studs, a wobbly stair rail through-bolted, and two GFI covers swapped. Everything tested before we packed up.

Door & window rehab

Laurelhurst·4 days

Old craftsman with eleven painted-shut and binding units. Planed and re-hung the sticking doors, chiseled hinge mortises back to true, replaced worn sash cord and balances on the double-hungs, and reset weatherstrip so they close without a shove.

TV mount & anchor

Sellwood·3 hours

65-inch set on a tilt mount, lag-bolted into two studs we located with a scanner, not drywall anchors. Cables fished down through the wall to a low-voltage bracket so nothing hangs, and the bracket checked dead level.

Where we work

Proudly serving the Portland metro

A lot of our work comes from a neighbor who watched us fix the house next door. If you're in the metro, we're just around the corner.

Older housing stock plus damp winters keeps the local list familiar: swollen doors, tired caulk, deck boards and gutter drips — the small stuff that turns big if it waits a year.

How it goes

From first call to done.

No mystery in the middle. This is the path the job actually takes, start to finish.

The walkthroughday 1

We come to the house, walk every room on your list, and look at the framing, drywall and fixtures up close. You point, we take notes and photos, and we flag anything that turns out bigger than it looked.

Quote lands in writingwithin 48 hours

You get a clear quote by email, itemized line by line, with the materials and the day-count spelled out. No hourly surprises and no verbal numbers you have to remember.

We hold your date1-2 weeks out

Once you say go, we lock a start date and order any doors, fixtures or trim ahead of time. You get a confirmed calendar day and the name of the person showing up.

Day of the jobstart to finish

The same handyman arrives when we said, lays down drop cloths, and works the punch list room by room. You get a text if anything needs a decision before we move on.

Walkthrough and warrantybefore we leave

We walk the finished list with you, touch up anything you catch, and vacuum and haul off the debris. You get the workmanship warranty in writing before we pull out of the driveway.

Before you hire anyone

Five questions for every handyman.

Including us. The trade has no license in most states, which means YOUR questions are the license. Here they are.

01Hourly or per-job, and what’s the minimum?

Both models are fair. Finding out on the invoice is not. Thirty seconds on the phone settles it.

02What jobs do you NOT take?

The honest answer names panels, gas and structure. “I do everything” means nobody ever told him where the line is.

03Are you insured for work in my home?

One ladder slip near a window explains this question. A pro answers with a certificate, not a chuckle.

04Can I send you my whole list first?

Yes should come fast, it’s how the right tools show up. A visit planned from a list beats a visit planned in the driveway.

05Who exactly shows up at my door?

The person quoting, or someone else? Names matter when the job is inside your home.

Bring this list to the call. We’ll answer all five before you ask.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Getting started

Do you charge for estimates?+

No. Written quotes for lists, repairs, mounting and small projects are always free, we visit, measure, talk through the list and priorities, and email you a clear, itemized quote with no obligation.

How soon can you start?+

Most estimates go out within a day, and typical projects are scheduled within one to two weeks. For urgent repairs, before a move, a sale or an event, just tell us the date and we'll do our best to fit you in.

What does “free estimates” mean?+

Before any work begins, we give you one clear quote to approve, prep, materials and labor included. No hourly meter, no surprise add-ons at the end. You always decide before we start.

What should I do before the visit?+

Write the list, photos help, and clear a path to each item. We bring tools, parts and shoe covers, you bring the satisfying pen-strike through each line.

What happens during the free list review?+

We walk the list room by room, flag anything needing a licensed trade, and hand you one clear quote for everything else, fifteen minutes.

Parts, tools & the work

How does whole-list pricing work?+

Send the list with photos, we price every item and the visit lands as one clear quote in writing. Add-ons discovered on site get priced before they happen.

What jobs are too big for you?+

Full remodels, roofs and anything needing a specialty license, we know our lane and happily point you to the right trade, often one we trust personally.

What parts do you use?+

Name-brand hardware and fixtures we would put in our own homes, or exactly what you already bought, we tell you honestly if it will not hold.

Can you price from photos?+

Usually, yes, that is the fastest route to a flat quote. Odd cases get a quick free look first, never a surprise invoice after.

Which projects fit one visit?+

Tap through the Project Studio above, Saturday list, rental refresh, safety pass, and send yours. Most fridge lists fit one satisfying afternoon.

Do you haul away the debris?+

Packaging, old fixtures and offcuts leave with us, broken down and gone. The room ends cleaner than we found it.

Can you maintain rentals between tenants?+

Happily, punch lists priced flat per unit, photos before and after, and your property manager gets one tidy report.

Warranty, insurance & scheduling

Do I need to be home?+

For the first visit, briefly, after that most clients leave a key plan. Every visit ends with a photo rundown of what got done.

Why do handyman fixes sometimes fail?+

Wrong anchor, wrong caulk, skipped prep, the classics. Our fixes are boringly by-the-book, which is why the warranty is easy to give.

Are you insured?+

Fully, liability and bonded, certificates on request. Anyone touching your wiring and water should be able to say that instantly.

How fast can you come?+

Lists book within the week, single urgent items often same-week too. The stalled-for-months job usually dies within days of your first message.

Is the Care Plan worth it?+

For most homes, yes: an annual inspection, free scuff and touch-up visits, priority scheduling, and 15% off future projects typically pay for the membership the first time you use it, and keep every finish looking new.
