Why Hire a Veteran-Owned Handyman Business? When it comes to hiring someone to work on your home, trust is everything. You want to know the job will be done right, done on time, and done with care. That’s why choosing a veteran-owned handyman business isn’t just a feel-good decision—it’s a smart one. At PNW Handyman Services, serving homeowners throughout Clallam County, we bring the values of military service—honor, integrity, and attention to detail—into every project we take on. Here’s why hiring a veteran-owned handyman service can make all the difference: 1. Reliability You Can Count On In the military, there’s no such thing as showing up late or cutting corners. Those same values carry over into how we approach every job. We show up when we say we will. We communicate clearly. And we follow through until the job is done right. 2. Attention to Detail Military training emphasizes precision—something that’s crucial in home renovation and repair. Whether we’re framing a new wall, installing cabinets, or troubleshooting a wiring issue, we approach it with the same focus and discipline. 3. Service Before Self Being a veteran means putting others first. In this line of work, that means putting the homeowner’s needs above all else. We listen, we adapt, and we treat every project like we’re working on our own home. 4. Supporting a Business That Gives Back Veteran-owned businesses tend to invest back into their communities. When you hire us, you’re not just getting expert help—you’re supporting a small local business that values country, community, and service. 5. Trust Built on a Foundation of Honor Home projects are personal. You’re inviting someone into your space, and you need to know you can trust them. Veterans are held to a higher standard of accountability, and we don’t take that lightly. Our goal is to earn your trust—and keep it. Ready to Work with Someone Who Takes Pride in Every Detail?

As a handyman and licensed contractor, I base my pricing on a few key things: Time Involved – Quick fixes take less time. More complicated jobs, like tiling a backsplash or repairing a deck, take longer and require more tools and setup. Material Costs – If I supply materials, I include that in the estimate. If you already have them, great—we’ll just work out the labor. Project Complexity – Some projects require more problem-solving (older homes, unusual repairs, etc.), which can affect the rate. Travel and Tools – I try to keep my rates affordable, but if I’m hauling specialty gear across the county, I factor that in reasonably. At the end of the day, my goal is to give you solid value without cutting corners.

Whether you're planning to sell in the near future or simply want to enjoy a more functional, beautiful home, certain upgrades offer more bang for your buck—especially here in Clallam County. With the unique mix of rural and coastal homes in areas like Port Angeles, Sequim, and the surrounding region, it's important to focus on renovations that fit both the local lifestyle and the property types common to our area. Here are the Top 6 Renovation Projects that not only improve your daily living experience, but can also increase your home’s market value: 1. Garage and Barn Conversions If you have an existing structure like a detached garage or small barn, converting it into a usable space can greatly enhance your property's appeal. These conversions can become: Workshops or hobby spaces Guest suites or short-term rentals (great for extra income) Home offices or studios Multi-purpose storage and utility rooms With our experience as a licensed general contractor, we can help you assess the structure, upgrade insulation and utilities, and transform it into a space that adds both function and value. 2. Bathroom Upgrades Bathrooms are one of the first areas potential buyers look at—and one of the most cost-effective places to renovate. Even modest upgrades can go a long way: New vanities and fixtures Walk-in showers or upgraded bathtubs Modern tile work and improved lighting Heated floors for added comfort during chilly PNW mornings A clean, updated bathroom improves daily life and boosts resale appeal. 3. Kitchen Remodels The kitchen is the heart of the home—and it’s often the biggest selling point. You don’t have to gut the entire space to see a strong return: Replacing old cabinets or installing new countertops Adding modern backsplashes and under-cabinet lighting Upgrading appliances or improving layout for better flow We can help with everything from small kitchen updates to full renovations. 4. Deck Builds & Outdoor Living Spaces In Clallam County, we’re surrounded by beauty—from the mountains to the water. Adding a deck or expanding your outdoor space lets you enjoy it more fully: Ground-level or elevated decks built to match your home’s style Covered porches or pergolas for year-round enjoyment Durable materials that hold up in our coastal climate A well-designed outdoor space creates additional “living area” without expanding your home’s footprint. 5. Energy-Efficient Upgrades Savvy buyers—and smart homeowners—are always looking for ways to reduce utility costs and improve comfort: Installing energy-efficient windows and exterior doors Upgrading insulation in attics, walls, and crawl spaces Sealing drafts and improving ventilation Replacing old water heaters with tankless systems These upgrades may also qualify for rebates or tax incentives, adding even more value. 6. Building a Garage or Barn If you don’t already have a garage or barn on your property, adding one is one of the most valuable improvements you can make. We design and build custom structures to suit your space, needs, and local code requirements: Detached garages with room for storage, tools, or vehicles Barns for livestock, equipment, or multi-use storage Custom finishes and layouts to match your home and property Concrete slab foundations and full electrical setup if needed These structures not only provide utility—they’re highly sought after in rural and semi-rural properties throughout the Olympic Peninsula.

Living and working in Clallam County, I’ve seen firsthand how homes here are shaped by the land, weather, and history of the Olympic Peninsula. From the heavy rains to the salty sea air, these homes take a beating—and keeping them in good shape requires local know-how. Homes in this region often face moisture-related issues. I frequently repair water-damaged siding, address soft spots in flooring, and reseal windows that just can’t keep the damp out. I also do a lot of deck work—moss and moisture are hard on untreated wood. Older homes in Port Angeles and Sequim come with their quirks too: outdated wiring, uneven floors, and original windows that need TLC. As a general contractor and veteran, I take pride in handling these challenges with care and precision.  Whether it’s preserving historic charm or helping newer builds withstand the Pacific Northwest climate, I’m here to help keep your home sturdy, safe, and dry.
