About
Hi, I'm Matt Smallen, a professional handyman based in Portland, Oregon. I’ve worked full-time in this field since 2017, with experience in nearly every aspect of residential home repair and maintenance. That includes: Carpentry Electrical Drywall Laminate flooring Trim & molding Painting Doors & windows Decks & fences And much more I drive a full-sized one-ton van equipped with heavy-duty, contractor-grade tools, and I can transport most materials as needed. I offer a 2-year workmanship warranty and carry full liability insurance for your peace of mind. Rates: $70/hour for general handyman services $85 service call + $85/hour for electrical diagnostics and repairs Fixed-price quotes available for many common jobs I genuinely enjoy this work and approach every job with a positive attitude. Growing up, I worked with my father (a third-generation masonry contractor), my grandfather (a carpenter and handyman), and a professional house painting crew. Thanks for considering me. I look forward to helping with your next project!
