Introduction
My name is Matt Smallen and I am native to Portland Oregon where I have worked full time as a professional handyman since 2017.
I have experience in nearly all aspects of residential home maintenance and repair including carpentry, electrical, drywall, laminate flooring, trim/molding, tile, painting, doors, windows, cupboards, decks, fences, & more.
I drive a full-sized one-ton van with a full array of heavy duty contractor grade tools and can transport most materials if needed.
I am a meticulous detail oriented handyman, and take the time needed to produce high quality results. My work is backed by a 2 year workmanship warrant and I carry liability insurance.
Working as a handyman is something I enjoy a great deal, and you will always find me to be up beat and easy to work with. As a teenager I worked for my father (3rd generation masonry contractor), grandfather (carpenter & general handyman), and a residential house painting crew.
My hourly rate is $65 for regular handyman work. Electrical diagnostic & repair is a $85 service call fee and $85/hr. For a lot of specific jobs I can quote you a price as well.
Thank you and have a great day!

We had some electrical issues with a junction box and some lights to install. He was more than willing to answer questions and complete all the work we needed done all in one day. Will definitely use him again for future projects!

Matt is awesome. What I love most about him is his responsiveness and communication.
We had a small electrical project that turned out to be a little more complicated that we intended. But Matt handled it incredibly. He was kind and gracious in our home. Clear in his communication and did great work!
Will definitely be calling him again!

Matt did a great electrical work for us. My house has a very weird and old wiring but he took the time to figure out what went wrong and fixed them. I would definitely recommend!
