Handyman help in Shoreline

Shoreline grew fast after World War II, and many of its houses are now more than 50 years old. That age shows up in small ways: sticky doors, tired trim, cracked caulk, loose handrails and fences that lean after a wet winter. We are an owner-operated handyman company based in Bothell, and these everyday fixes are the core of what we do. Ben, the owner, has years of apartment maintenance experience, so he works through a repair list in order and leaves the space clean.

Most jobs start with a few photos. Text or email them, tell us what's going on, and we can often give you a free estimate without a site visit. We reply the same day, seven days a week. The city is a short drive from our base, so homes from Richmond Beach near the Sound to North City near the freeway are easy to reach. When the work is done, you get an itemized invoice and before-and-after photos.

Shoreline homes and what they need

Much of Shoreline was built out from the 1950s through the 1970s, so the typical house is a rambler or split-level on a lot with mature trees. These homes often need door and lock adjustments, new caulk around tubs and windows, drywall patches, trim repair and fresh paint. Richmond Beach, on Puget Sound, was platted back in 1890, so homes there range more widely in age. Near the Shoreline South/148th and Shoreline North/185th light rail stations, older houses are giving way to townhomes, and newer apartments and condos are going up along Aurora. Those newer homes need lighter care: touch-up paint, blinds, door hardware and punch-list items.

For Shoreline landlords and property managers

Rentals here range from older houses to newer units near the light rail stations. For landlords and property managers, we handle turnovers: move-out repairs, patch and paint, lock changes, blinds and the small punch-list items that hold up a new lease. Each unit gets its own itemized invoice with before-and-after photos, so you can document condition and handle deposits clearly. If a unit needs electrical or plumbing work that requires a license, we'll tell you so you can bring in a licensed trade.
