Handyman Services on San Juan Island
Everything I get called for, with what’s included and what it costs on every page.
- Licensed & bonded
- WA L&I #SANJUJI741OT
- Insured
- Locally owned in Friday Harbor
Here’s what I do. If your project isn’t on this list, call anyway — I’ll either handle it or tell you who on the island should.
Electrical work, plumbing work, and asbestos work require a specialty license in Washington. I hold a general contractor registration, which does not cover those trades. I’ll coordinate a licensed trade for that work rather than guess at it.
