Portland’s Handyman You Can Actually Trust

My name is Ted, and I started Portlandia Remodeling & Home Maintenance in 2018. As a Portland homeowner myself — I live in a 1911 Portland Four-Square — I know exactly how frustrating it is to have a growing list of home repairs and no one reliable to call. That’s why I built this business around something simple: honest work, clear communication, and quality you can see.

I’m a licensed general contractor and carpenter (CCB# 219486), and I’ve spent years developing the kind of versatility that handyman work demands. Every job I take on gets my full attention—whether it’s a 20-minute fix or a multi-day project.

Veteran-owned and operated. I bring the same discipline and reliability to your home that I brought to my service.

1-year labor guarantee. I stand behind my work. If something’s not right, I make it right.

No payment until you’re satisfied. Contracts are only paid in full when the finished work meets your expectations.

Licensed & insured. Oregon CCB# 219486. Fully covered so you’re protected.

Experience with Portland’s Older Homes

Portland is full of craftsman bungalows, Tudor revivals, and early-century homes—and they’re beautiful. They’re also full of quirks: sloped floors, plaster walls, outdated wiring, and decades of repairs layered on top of each other.

I've been working on homes like these for years, with a specialty in historic restoration—replicating period millwork, preserving original architectural detail, and updating function without losing the character that makes these homes special.
