I help with the technical and physical projects around the house that you may not have the time or tools for. I've spent years figuring out how things work and how to fix them, so I focus on finding the most efficient and durable solution for whatever is in front of me. I handle everything from furniture assembly and home theater setups to swapping out light fixtures, faucets, and general maintenance.\n\nI try to work within a roughly 50-mile radius of Portland; covering Vancouver, Hillsboro, out as far as Gov't Camp, down toward Salem, etc. My goals are customer service and communication; honesty and clarity, and I treat your home and any belongings I'd touch with, at minimum, the same care and cleanliness as my own.

Hello! I've spent the last couple years working as a maintenance technician for a large Portland property management company. I'm experienced with basic electrical work, (changing out outlets, switches, installing light fixtures, fans) basic plumbing work (setting up dishwashers, disposals, toilet, sink, faucet installs etc.), painting, basic carpentry and basic drywall work. I'm a hard worker. I believe in being thorough, I have a strong sense of integrity and I'm a direct communicator. I'm based in Northeast Portland but I'll travel pretty much anywhere in the city for work. If you need help with any kind of odd job around your house, give me a call!

"It was a quick fix I probably could have done myself. I'm glad I had it done professionally, though. Now I know it won't leak and will operate in the manner it should."

Childproofing questions, answered by experts

Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are a safe and effective way to protect children from electrical hazards. They feature a spring-loaded shutter that blocks the outlet slots when not in use, preventing a child from inserting foreign objects. While they are the safest option available, it's important to note that few things can be considered truly 'childproof.' Children may still try to imitate adults by inserting a plug, so constant supervision around any electrical device is recommended. Tamper-resistant outlets are a much safer solution than childproofing covers, which can be removed by children and may pose a choking hazard.

The best time to hire a childproofing professional is at least three months before your due date. Although it might seem early, proper childproofing takes time, especially if you need extensive services like a pool fence. Getting your house ready now before your child is on the go only helps to protect them at all stages of life.

Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are designed to be safe for use in homes with children. They feature a spring-loaded shutter that blocks the electrical slots when not in use, which helps protect children from electric shock if they try to insert an object. While they are the safest option available and highly effective, it's important to note that few things are truly 'childproof.' Children may still try to imitate adults by inserting a plug. For this reason, it's best to use tamper-resistant outlets over less effective solutions like plastic covers, which can be removed or pose a choking hazard. Always supervise young children around any electrical outlets or devices.

In many cases, you can DIY home childproofing with success. You can purchase childproofing tools like cabinet locks, outlet covers, and table-edge guards and install them easily. 

However, it's best to have a professional childproofing service work on larger projects like pool safety or furniture anchoring. These safety measures can take a lot of time and effort to DIY, plus, you want to ensure the tasks are done correctly to keep your child safe.

A professional childproofer will first survey your home to identify potentially dangerous locations, including stairs, cabinets, and pools. Once approved, your professional will order and install the safety equipment for you. 

Some ways a childproofing professional will make your home safe include:

  • Anchoring large furniture 

  • Installing safety gates

  • Installing safety latches on cabinets and drawers 

  • Covering railings that could trap a child

  • Covering electrical outlets 

  • Installing a swimming pool fence

  • Removing or covering electrical cords where possible
