    The Right Fix the First Time

    We won't talk you into a full remodel when re-caulk and a re-hang will hold for years.

Neighbors say

Loved by Happy Valley.

"Did the full fifteen-year list in two visits. Re-caulked exteriors, swapped weather strip on three doors, rehung the laundry door, fixed a fence post. HOA-friendly the whole way."
Erica B., Scouters Mountain, Happy Valley
"Had him out for a pre-listing punch list and he saved us from chasing four different trades. Clean photos and a written summary for the buyer. Easy."
Drew C., Altamont, Happy Valley
"Quoted three items over text, came out two days later, finished in one trip at the exact price. New regular for the next list."
Sam W., near Mt. Scott, Happy Valley

The solution

One Visit, the Whole Happy Valley List.

Happy Valley homeowners almost always have the same problem. Not one broken thing, fifteen mildly annoying things. The laundry door, the caulk behind the kitchen sink, the weather strip on the front door, the wobblyceiling fan, the gate that doesn't latch right, the chip in the trim by the garage door, the fixture in the hallway, the screen that came loose. None of it is an emergency. All of it is bugging you.

The solution is one visit, one written quote per item, and a focused two to four hours of work that clears the entire list. We bring the typical Happy Valley parts in the truck, fasteners, weather strip, common door hardware, common fixture supplies, exterior caulk, screws, anchors, and we'd rather knock fifteen items out in one trip than make you book us four times.

Good questions

Happy Valley FAQ.

Which parts of Happy Valley do you cover?
All of it. From the older neighborhoods near Mt. Scott and Sunnyside down through Scouters Mountain, Altamont, the cul-de-sacs off 162nd, and the newer builds out by Rock Creek. Happy Valley sits right between our Clackamas and Damascus routes, so we're up there most weeks.
Most of these houses are HOA. Does that change anything?
Not really, just the paperwork side. We're licensed, bonded and insured under CCB #253174 and we'll email proof to the HOA before the first visit so your architectural review board has what they need. For exterior work like fence repair, paint touch-up or door swaps we keep colors and materials matched so nothing trips an HOA letter.
Our 2009 build is hitting the fifteen-year mark and everything seems to be quitting at once. Is that normal?
Completely normal, and Happy Valley is full of those houses right now. Builder-grade caulk has separated, weather strip is flat, fixtures are dated, the laundry door won't latch, and the deck boards are cupping. Most of it is bundle-and-knock-out work. One or two visits usually clears a fifteen-year punch list.
We're up on Scouters Mountain and the wind tears at the fence every winter. What's the fix?
Re-set posts in fast-set concrete, add a hidden tension cable across the longer runs, and replace any picket that's split. The bigger move is to make sure the gate is hung true. A loose gate is the first thing the wind grabs, and once the gate shifts the rest of the run follows. Fall is the right time to do this.
Can you handle the long pre-listing punch list?
Yes, this is one of our most common Happy Valley calls. Inspection list comes in, agent forwards it, we bundle the items into one or two visits, and you get a clean written summary with photos for the buyer. Same approach we use in Oregon City, West Linn and Lake Oswego.
How about the back of the kitchen, where the cabinets meet the wall and there's a gap that's been growing?
That's settling, plus seasonal expansion. We re-caulk the joint with a paintable, flexible caulk that can move with the house. If a cabinet has actually shifted, we re-shim it and re-attach the upper to the stud, then re-caulk. Five minute job or two hour job depending on how far it's gone.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. The Dandy Handyman is licensed, bonded and insured in Oregon, CCB #253174. Happy to email proof to your HOA, agent, lender or buyer before the first visit.
How fast can you get out to Happy Valley?
Most weeks we can be on a Happy Valley porch within three or four days. Smaller fixes sometimes slot in within 48 hours if a Mulino, Molalla or Oregon City job finishes early. Pre-listing punch lists are the exception, we'll often clear two days for those.
Is the $150 minimum reasonable for a small Happy Valley fix?
Only if you bundle. For one wobbly fixture by itself, you're paying mostly for the trip. For three fixtures, a sticky door, two weather-strip swaps and a fence picket, the math works out great. Most Happy Valley clients save a list and we clear it in one visit.
