My street isn't in the table. Should I still ask?
Yes. Send the ZIP or a pair of cross streets and we'll tell you plainly whether we can come, before any tools get loaded.
A few nearby towns sit too far out for us to serve well, Tigard, Metzger and Lake Oswego among them, along with downtown Portland and Hillsboro city. A handyman based closer to you will beat our drive. The fastest way to check is the contact page.
How far is the drive to my house?
Drive time is the one number we can give right now. West Slope is the short hop at 5-8 minutes; Bethany is the long one at 24-25. Everything else falls between, and those minutes already pad for slow traffic.
Booking lead time is a separate thing, and we'd rather not print a guess. Ask by phone or text and you'll get an actual day.
What houses and repairs are typical around here?
Cedar Hills filled in mostly during the fifties and sixties, and many homes still run on windows, doors and bathrooms from back then. When single-pane glass fogs or an old tub surround cracks, the next step is often window replacement or a bathroom remodel.
In Cedar Mill, lots of 1960s-70s homes stand under tall Douglas firs. Needles pack the gutters, rainwater overshoots the edge from November on, and fascia boards plus trim begin to soften. That's why gutter cleaning sits near the top of what gets asked for there, followed by rot fixes and deck building once an old deck can't be saved.
Beaverton covers everything from 1960s ranch homes to 1990s split-levels. Walls that have seen a few owners usually want fresh interior painting, and a front door that sticks or leaks air may need an entry door replacement.
Bethany is the younger end: most houses there were framed between roughly 1990 and 2005, putting them at a quarter century or a bit more. Original tanks wear out around then, which makes water heater replacement a common call, and builder fences start leaning past the point where fence installation beats patching. Decks and LVP floors show up on the same list.
On West Slope, sloped lots bring drainage trouble and steep steps. Lots of houses out this way are built over crawl spaces rather than slabs, and that's where a seismic retrofit begins.
For a pre-1978 house, keep in mind that any work disturbing lead-based paint is something we don't take on. The full list of jobs we turn down is on what we don't do.
Who handles permits for my address?
That comes down to city limits. Washington County Building Services covers the unincorporated parts of the county and points owners inside a city to that city's own office. Addresses within Portland city limits go to Portland Permitting & Development.
Those lines cut across these neighborhoods, so two houses a few blocks apart can answer to different offices.
