Pricing
I want my clients to be over the moon with my work, that's why I like to be as fair and straightforward as possible. After 14+ years of being a handyman, I can say with the utmost confidence that my prices are amongst the most reasonable you'll find. I don't give "ballpark estimates" I give a guaranteed flat rate before we schedule the appointment so everyone is on the same page.Many handymen are reluctant to give you a solid price before you book with them, they'll offer you an estimate or come out for an hourly rate and add on to that when they're finished. Both are just a tactic to overcharge people. Somehow the job "took longer then they thought" or was "more difficult" once they actually come do the work. What you thought you'd be paying goes up and your trust in them (and the size of your wallet) goes down. I've been doing this long enough to know the time + expertise that goes into each job. I show up on time, I do meticulous work expeditiously, and I don't take breaks so you'll be stuck with me for longer than you need to be haha.That all being said, once I give you a rundown of the cost, there is absolutely no pressure to book with me. Hiring a handyman is a very personal decision and I respect whatever you decide!

FAQ's
How long have you been doing this Handyman thing?
Well, I grew up in a 100 year old house in Northern California so I've basically grown up working with my hands on a daily basis. And I started professionally by assisting my dad on remodeling + home preservation projects. I was able to further hone my craft living in LA while working as a property manager at several luxury apartment and condo buildings. I then transitioned to operating my own handyman business and have officially been "Dan the Handiest Man!" for 13 years now! My wife and I relocated to PDX in the summer of '22 and we love it here :)What is your Cancellation Policy?
I value your business and appreciate your cooperation with my cancellation policy. Since I typically book up about a week in advance, please respect my scheduling by keeping appointments whenever possible. Should you need to cancel or reschedule, please notify me at least 48 hours in advance. Any cancelled or rescheduled appointments with less than 48 hours of notice are subject to an $85 fee.What are some of the things you DON'T do?
As a general guide, here are some common things I get asked about that I don’t do: Painting, Drywall, Remodeling, Caulking, Roofing, Flooring - ya know, the specialty stuff ;)Do you prefer huge "honey-do" lists or can you do small individual jobs, like hanging one piece of art?
I am totally fine to do small jobs and it usually makes it much easier to squeeze you into my schedule sooner! If you do have a large list of tasks that you've saved up, I'm happy to work with you on that too! Keep in mind, I usually book appointments in 4-6 hour blocks max. Also with each job I need to ask specific questions so there's a certain amount of back and forth involved. With all that in mind, I find it's easier for everyone if you prioritize your list in order of importance and give me that first and then we can set up another appointment soon after to tackle the remainder.What payment methods do you accept?
I accept Cash, Venmo, Cash App, PayPal or Credit Cards via Square (2.75% will be added to all CC and PayPal transactions) I do not accept checks.If you're booked, do you send out other people to do jobs?
Nope- rest assured, you'll always get me!Do you provide any supplies?
I always supply high-quality screws, wall anchors, wire nuts and the like- free of charge. And I'm happy to advise you on what would work best in your situation when it comes to purchasing items like TV mounts, garbage disposals, etc...
