Get matched with top hardware, latches & tracks (door) repairers or replacers in Bridal-veil, OR

Hi, Im Aleksandr, your local handyman in Portland and Vancouver. I help homeowners with repairs, upgrades, and small remodels? From drywall and trim to flooring and demolition. I show up on time, communicate clearly, and make sure the job is done right without cutting corners.

"While we determined I could not gain much space for the expense, he still lubed my 25-year old garage door opener and checked the spring. And taught me how to do all this myself. He was late making our 2-hour scheduled window due to previous customer time, however, he called me to let me know he'd be late and also called when he was on his way. If I ever do need a new door or repair or know anyone who does, I will definitely remember Ever-Green Garage Doors for their great customer care and service."

"Charles and team are amazing! This is the second time we've worked with him, and he didn't disappoint. We needed to do a major renovation of our kitchen to accommodate family members with disabilities. We had fairly specific design requirements, which involved raising the ceiling, adding structural support to one wall to create an archway, and adding another wall to allow for more cabinet space. After signing the contract with Charles, we realized we also needed to have our entire plumbing infrastructure replaced because of rusty pipes. We scheduled the plumbing work to happen before the kitchen project began so it wouldn't be an issue with the new appliances. The plumbing work left us with holes in the drywall in several rooms, plus a bathroom that needed to be gutted and rebuilt. Charles was amenable to adding the bathroom remodel to the kitchen contract--and we were amazed at how he was able to fit all of the additional bathroom work into the original kitchen schedule. Work finished on the exact date he'd targeted. He was also very accommodating of us in several other instances where we basically grew the scope of the project as it progressed. We are thrilled with the results and are planning to have him do a couple of smaller projects once we get our kitchen unpacked. Charles has two major strengths as a contractor that have made us want to hire him multiple times. The first is that he is an excellent craftsman. He is able to think through complicated designs and then execute them impeccably. The second is that he stays on top of every detail of the project and runs it like clockwork. Once work starts, he doesn't stop until it's done. His subs clearly value working with him; they show up exactly when they are supposed to and keep at it in order to finish in time for the next phase of work. Even when Charles isn't on-site while subs are working, he knows the exact status of their progress and keeps things moving until everything is finished. Charles is often booked out several months, but he is worth the wait!"

"We have hired Evolution for projects big and small. They have all gone exceptionally well. Our biggest, turning a bedroom into an inside outside room with sliding glass door and stairs into our backyard went great. We love it. And they did it in less than a week! They are also more than willing to do small fixes like a broken screen door or a kitchen door that won't quite close. They are the "unicorn" of the contracting world. They give you a bid, stick exactly to the bid, give you a time frame, stick exactly to the time frame, show up on time and do excellent work. Highly recommended."

"Wolfpack construction LLC, Victor, was fabulous! The best pricing out of three quotes. Showed up ready to work. Stayed very busy the entire time on site. Felt comfortable having someone in my home. polite manners, and a calming voice. Wolfpack construction will be my go to always."

"Joey and Deandre came and walked me through the process with details. Did a very good job. Looking forwards to get the roofing replacement done."

"Dave was very professional and efficient, making sure that the window through which the electrical cord for the drill had to go was sealed off so the cats couldn't escape. He made sure also that everything was cleaned up afterwards.
I am so happy with the work and Dave made my first foray into homeowner upgrades an enjoyable and pleasant experience.
I look forward to a continuing business relationship as and when new projects come up in my home.
Thanks, Dave."

"It turned out fine. The price was reasonable. There was no additional cost. He seem like a real nice guy and listens to us and we haven't really even got a chance to look over the designs much in depth yet, but they seem to kind of what we were looking for in terms of change. We are not sure if we are going to move forward with it or use him as our person to do the work, but I feel like we got what we paid for. He is very  responsive.

"He was always on-time. When there were some issues, he came back to address my concerns. He was really good responding to any texts or phone calls I made. He was friendly and easy to work with."

"Ken bid the work in the winter after doing a very brief walk through of the house. We told him it could be out a ways as we had to get the contractor in to replace the woodwork first. We contacted him in the summer to do the work. I had asked at the time if he needed to make adjustments to the bid in light of the season and workload change but he kept to the original bid. We asked if he needed us to move furniture or prep the house beforehand and he said no. When the work was completed we were out of town so we had a relative let the contractors in. Ken was here the first day but not for the duration of the project and when we got home there were some quality issues some damaged furniture items and mess left by the painters so we contacted Ken to see if he would mind doing a walk through with us. There were drips in high visibility places and areas where it looked like the paint had partially dried so brush strokes where pretty bad. They also had gotten large quantities of paint on the carpet in several rooms and had missed some items altogether.

When I contacted Ken (via email) he was very quick to respond but immediately got defensive and acted frustrated that I had emailed him on a weekend (apparently he was away with his wife at the time). I told him I had just sent a note while it was fresh in my mind and he could contact us when he was back. At which point he called out that he had given me a good deal and if I didn't want to pay him I didn't have to...I had never mentioned or intended to hold payment and told him so. I just asked that he see the issues and correct what was fixable (keeping in mind we told him we were not going to make him replace broken items, repair carpet or redo the shoddy work). I just wanted him to assess what I was seeing and fix the drip marks and missed items.

He continued to respond blaming the fact that the trim install was poor, that we hadn't moved furniture and that he had cut is a deal in peak season (at which point I reminded him that we asked if he needed to revise his bid or have us prep the house). In the end he sent the job staff out to fix things but I would not recommend using Ken again. He is quick to respond and gives a very competitive price but I firmly believe you get what you pay for. I've worked with Ken previously and have always thought highly of him but this experience was disappointing. In the end I paid him for the full cost of the work even though he forgot to include the cost of painting several doors in his final invoice and the work was shoddy. I have since been sanding and redoing trim areas where the paint quality was poor and have opted to paint out a child's bedroom myself as my work is better than what Ken's painting provided. I will not be calling him again and although I'm often asked for referrals for contractors, I won't be giving his name out.
