Cedar Mill Property Repair takes repair jobs in Greenway, Progress, Fanno, Denny Whitford and Garden Home-Whitford, about 11-15 minutes from our base. A lot of the housing here is 1970s and 1980s apartments, condos and small plexes, so this page starts with rental and condo work and then covers the older detached houses.
Slava brings 7 years of his own hands-on work to each visit.
Which neighborhoods does this page cover, and how far are they?
Five names: Denny Whitford, Fanno, Progress, Greenway and Garden Home-Whitford. With traffic it's about 11-15 minutes to you. Denny Whitford and Fanno are closest; the unincorporated Garden Home-Whitford area on the east edge is farthest.
Progress is the old crossroads where Scholls Ferry Road meets Hall Boulevard, and we cover the Beaverton side of it. Fanno Creek, named for Augustus Fanno, who farmed onions here from 1847, runs through Fanno Creek Park and Greenway Park beside Highway 217. Most of this page's area is inside Beaverton city limits; Garden Home-Whitford is unincorporated county. Central Beaverton has its own page, as does the stretch east toward Raleigh Hills.
What kind of homes are in Greenway, Progress and Denny Whitford?
Census Bureau figures (American Community Survey, 2020-2024) come by tract, and tracts ignore neighborhood lines, so treat these as rough. In the tract around Greenway, about three homes in four are rented, and two in five sit in buildings of three or four units. Most went up in the 1970s and 80s, about evenly split.
The tract around Denny Whitford is nearly two-thirds rented, and one unit in four is in a building of 50 or more. Its biggest building decade was the 1960s. Around Progress and Fanno it flips: just over half the homes are detached houses, more of them owned than rented, most of them dating to the Eisenhower, Kennedy and Nixon years, 1950 to 1979.
So there are two kinds of call. Rental and condo interiors 40-50 years old wear out at hollow-core doors, floors, bath fixtures and walls dinged by years of tenants. The detached houses bring crawl spaces and older framing.
Do you do rental turnovers and tenant repairs for landlords here?
Yes. Owners and managers of plexes and single rentals can book a move-out punch list between tenants, one repair request at a time, or a smoke and CO alarm swap in each unit. How that works for owners of several doors is on our page for landlords.
You book one visit at a time: no plans, no subscriptions. We'll swap a lockset but not rekey it, and we don't haul junk, empty units or mow. Everything we turn down is listed under what we don't do.
Condos add HOA approval and building access rules.
Does the year my building went up matter for the work?
It can. In any unit or house from before 1978 we take only work that leaves old paint undisturbed.
Around Greenway the 1980s put up about as many units as the 1970s, so many plexes there are newer than 1978. The Census groups 1970-79 together, though, so only your building's own year tells. Send it with the photo.
Which services do people in Greenway and Progress ask for?
In rentals the most common request is the small stuff between tenants.
Drywall and doors in rental units. Anchor holes, doorknob dents, doors that rub or won't latch, and split hollow-core slabs make up most turnovers. See drywall repair.
Vinyl plank floors. Units from the 1980s are now about 40 years old, and their floors show it. See LVP and laminate flooring.
Bathroom refresh or tub-to-shower. A new vanity, mirror, caulk and accessories suit plexes from 1978 or later; start with bathroom refresh.
TVs and shelves in apartments and condos. Around Denny Whitford a quarter of units sit in buildings of 50-plus, where people can't remodel but can hang things. TV mounting covers drywall, studs, brick and hidden cables.
Bolting and straps on detached houses. Progress and Fanno have plenty of 1950s-70s houses. Bolting the sill from inside the crawl space doesn't touch exterior paint. More on seismic retrofit.
Fences on detached lots. Pacific Northwest rain rots posts at the ground line; see fence repair.
How do I pick a handyman for a job here?
Whoever answers your text comes to the unit with his crew; no franchise desk, no app handing your job to whoever is free. Whoever you hire, ask who will actually show up at the door.
For swapping a dated hallway fixture or a bedroom fan, see lights and fans.
