Neighbors say

Loved by Portland.

"Found Keenon through a friend in Oregon City and now I tell everyone on our block. Patched plaster, re-hung a stuck bungalow door, and swapped two old light fixtures. Same price he quoted on the phone."
Megan H., Sellwood, Portland
"Showed up exactly when he said, cleaned up after, and finished a list of five things that had been sitting on the fridge for a year. Honest pricing and zero pressure to add more work."
Andre T., Woodstock, Portland
"We had a punch list before listing the house, doors, trim, fence pickets, a dead exterior light. He bundled it into one visit and saved us from chasing three different trades. Highly recommend."
Priya R., Cully, NE Portland

From the neighbors

The Portland Handyman Your Friend Recommends.

Most of our Portland calls don't come from an ad. They come from somebody who knows somebody. A Mulino neighbor whose sister bought a bungalow in Sellwood. A Molalla client who referred their adult kid in Woodstock. A real estate agent in Oregon City who keeps sending pre-listing punch lists from Eastmoreland. That word-of-mouth pattern is how we built the Portland side of the business, and we work hard to keep it going.

What does that look like in practice? It looks like showing up on time, charging what we said, and finishing the work. Portland homeowners are sharp. They've been burned by no-shows and inflated invoices and contractors who disappear mid-job. So when a neighbor in Mt. Tabor says, "use Keenon," they're staking a little of their own credibility on it. We don't take that lightly.

Good questions

Portland FAQ.

Which parts of Portland do you actually cover?
Most of the east and southeast side comes easiest for us out of Mulino. Sellwood, Woodstock, Mt. Tabor, Montavilla, Foster-Powell, Brentwood-Darlington, Eastmoreland and the close-in pockets of inner SE all see us regularly. We get over to North and Northeast, Alberta, Cully and St. Johns too, just with a little more notice. If you're way out by the coast range we'll likely point you to somebody closer.
We've got a 1920s bungalow with original everything. Is that your wheelhouse?
Yes, those Sellwood and Woodstock bungalows are some of our favorite calls. Old growth fir trim, stuck double-hung windows, picture rails, plaster patches, that one closet door that hasn't latched since 1978. We treat the original material like it matters, because in those neighborhoods it does.
Do you do the small annoying stuff or just bigger projects?
Both, honestly. Half our Portland visits are knocking out a list, a leaky hose bib, a wobbly toilet, a dead exterior light, a stuck Sellwood window, two doors that won't latch. The other half is one focused project like a bathroom refresh, a deck repair, or trim and door swaps. Bundle the little stuff and your $150 minimum goes a lot further.
Who else have you worked with in town?
Plenty of neighbors. We get steady calls from Portland homeowners between our regular stops in Oregon City, West Linn, Milwaukie and Clackamas. A lot of them are recommendations from the original Mulino and Molalla clients whose siblings or kids moved into Portland. Real estate agents in southeast send pre-listing punch lists our way too.
Permits, BDS, and old wiring. Where do you draw the line?
Anything that needs a Portland BDS permit, panel work, or anything tied into structural we hand off to the right specialist. Replacing fixtures, mounting TVs, swapping outlets in existing boxes, drywall, doors, trim, fences, fixtures, decks under permit thresholds, all good. If we open a wall in a St. Johns or Mt. Tabor bungalow and find knob-and-tube, we stop and call you before we do anything else.
Parking and access on those tight inner SE blocks?
We work it out before we come. A heads-up about a permit zone, a steep driveway, an alley garage or a narrow Eastmoreland side yard saves everybody time. Send a photo of the street if it's tricky and we'll plan around it.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. The Dandy Handyman is licensed, bonded, and insured in Oregon, CCB #253174. If your HOA, condo board or landlord wants proof emailed before we show up, just ask.
How fast can you get to a Portland address?
Most weeks we can be on a southeast Portland porch within three or four days, sometimes sooner if a slot opens. Bigger projects book a week or two out. Send photos by text and you'll usually have a ballpark back the same day.
Is it really $150 minimum?
Yes. Every visit starts at $150, which covers travel from Mulino, the first chunk of work, and a written quote for anything else on your list. The more you stack on the same visit, the better that minimum works for you.
