Hey all, My name is Matt Kruger, Owner of The Premium Handyman Vancouver to Longview LLC. I've enjoyed fixing things and helping people since my very first job at Ace Hardware 20+ years ago. Over the last 2 decades, I've been able to hone in on my home remodeling/maintenance skills and am able to complete a wide variety of tasks. I decided to get licensed as a general contractor because there are a lot of home maintenance, remodeling, and fix-it tasks that many homeowners may not know how to do or don't feel comfortable doing themselves. On top of that, I noticed a lot of contractors are charging an egregious amount to homeowners, sometimes as high as $200/hr. Insane! I wanted to create a business that was ethical, fair, and honest to the people of Clark and Cowlitz County Washington. Armed with the skillsets of remodeling/maintenance/carpentry and a master's degree in business, I'm slated to utilize my skills and knowledge to best serve both you and your home.

We are a general contractor company with over 40 years of combined experience. Servicing Southwest Washington.

"Matt is amazing. We had several projects and he did a great job with everything. Installed a door, reframed another, perfectly installed a large mirror and several others. He's polite, respectful of the work area, and talented. Highly recommended and would hire him again."

"John was very prompt. He took the time to explain the work he was doing and answered all my questions. In the past I've had people recommend replacing the torsion springs, bearings etc even when they were not worn out. John showed how to check them easily and was very practical in his recommendationsl. I would hire him again if a need arises"

"They did a nice a job but I felt like they were overpriced. They added some decking to make a privacy wall. They installed wood slats with lattice across the top. They also installed decorative fencing along the sides of the house. I felt this was a bait and switch deal as they charged $60/hr per worker. The quality of the work was nice, however."

"I bought their contractor for a day at $300.00 which seemed like a deal. The thought was an online video indicated that the project could be done in one day by an inexperienced person. I met with the owner and we agreed that maybe it would take two of his experienced experts An entire day (so $600). We had challenges right in the beginning. There was an electricity outage in the neighborhood that slowed work as they could not use their saws or drills, then the two guys spent a long time arguing about how to do it, then the first four hours were up and one guy left and the other guy diligently stuck around to make up for the time wasted arguing and manually sawing which I appreciated(just to back up a second I had called the owner in the morning to discuss the outage and rescheduling and we had agreed that it would be okay as the equipment had batteries). The manager and I worked out a deal to bring out the one guy for an extra day at the same rate to finish it up and I want to say that I ended up adding one more day but this was two years ago. Nice hard working guy, just slower and less efficient than others I had worked with (in his defense he cost half as much). In the end my under deck roof is okay...it has a lot of spots that leak so my level of satisfaction is not high. In the end I got the work done at $600 (or was it $900?) This was a while back. It took two days I think, maybe three. At the end of the day I paid a C price for C quality work. In retrospect I could have recruited my brother to help me do it but it would have taken us four times as long and I can’t say the quality would have been better. Honestly if I had bid the whole job itself another crew might have charged me $3,000+. So with labor and materials I paid $1,200 maybe $1,500 and it’s adequate. I did appreciate the managers flexibility in extending the special price over additional days and letting the one guy stick around to make up for the bickering and electrical outage."

"After inspecting our foundation earlier, Q determined that we needed a sump pump (which we suspected). His quote was reasonable compared to others we had heard about, so we went ahead with it.
His team of three guys worked hard for two days digging drainage trenches and installing the pump in a couple of feet of standing water. We then had to wait about a week for the water to pump out and to dry out so a new vapor barrier and gravel could be added. This was done during a cold winter where it took longer for the area to thaw and dry out so the delay was kind of a bummer, but not at all Ethereal's fault.
When they returned, they were able to finish up in one day (so three days of work total) and cleaned up after themselves very well. The guys were pleasant and happy to answer questions during the work and Q was careful to follow up and check on the work. All in all a great group to work with as long as you're realistic about the work necessary and time involved."

"Marco removed the cabinetry surround on the electrical panel in my finished basement, in preparation for a new panel install. Prior to replacing the cabinetry after the electrical panel replacement was complete, his crew removed the wall paper on two walls, textured and painted them. This room is now complete. Mr. Tapia, et al have done work for me before and continue to be my go-to contractor in Vancouver."

"Within about a week of ordering it, a package arrived with outline paper. Essentially our job was to outline half the table and the two leafs (we were pleasantly surprised these could be added for a relatively modest amount - I think $12) In addition, they asked for the table company and any serial or model number. About two or three weeks later, right as promised, the package arrived. Our measurements were accurate as the pads fit perfectly. The quality is great. Now the pads are on the table, which looks great, and will be covered by a table cloth with we have formal dinners."
