Hello all. I have a rental unit coming online shortly and I'm in need of a dependable handyman. I live 3 hours away, so I need someone who I can rely on to respond to exigent issues at the property. Not looking for the cheapest guy, just the most trustworthy and reliable. I don't have any projects at the moment, but it would be nice to have someone to call before something goes wrong.
I'm also looking for some cleaners to do a one-time initial clean at a minimum, and potentially on a recurring basis if requested by tenant.
Anyone care to give up their contacts? The house is in NE Portland, near 90th& Halsey.
Hi @Travis Jones. For small projects, I usually do them myself but if there are larger tasks I use a GC. If you are interested, his name is Paul Schmitt (503) 449-6156. He does great work at a very fair price.
For house cleaning, I use Ms. Gina (503) 875-8345. Her team does fantastic work and is about $40/hr. You can tell her about how much you want to spend and she will get close to that. I have her do all my cleanings between tenants.
I'm not looking for a GC per se, more like a handyman who can respond quickly to reset a breaker or change a toilet seat since I'm 3 hours away. However, I will definitely keep Paul's number, as I will have a larger remodel coming up and may hire a GC to save myself some hassle.
I will certainly call Ms. Gina though; I'll let her know you sent me.
