HI NEIGHBOR!If you are seeing this page, it’s because you live West of the Cut here in St. Johns.I’ve lived in Portland for almost 20 years, and after nearly two years here on the peninsula, St. Johns is home. I’m a member of the St. Johns Boosters, I’m out walking my dog Parappa through the neighborhood every day, and I want to put my skills to work close to home, and simply know more of the folks living around me.WHY THIS PAGE EXISTSAcross the rest of Portland, I run a licensed General Contracting and custom fabrication business (Clandestine Creations LLC). Typically, I only book complex kitchen and bath remodels, structural modifications, and custom woodwork or metalwork. I turn down small handyman requests across town because the commute and overhead make small jobs too expensive for the homeowner.Here in St. Johns, I’m throwing that rule out.Because you are just a few minutes away, there is no cross-town commute to price in. I use my schedule gaps between major builds to help neighbors knock out small repairs quickly, affordably, and at a craftsman level. No trip charges. No project minimums.HOW I CAN HELP YOU OUT1. The Quick Fixes (Handyman Scope)
The nagging stuff that’s hard to get a reliable contractor to show up for:- Doors that stick, deadbolts, latches, and weatherstripping
- Sagging gates, fence panels, porch steps, and handrails
- Localized dry rot, siding patches, trim, and exterior sealing
- Drywall repairs, fixture swaps, and heavy/awkward mounting
- Cabinet hinge adjustments, drawers, and custom storage tweaks2. Demystifying Bigger House Problems (Free Walkthrough)
Old St. Johns houses have quirks. Because I build full-scale remodels from the studs out, I understand how structure, moisture, framing, and mechanical systems all tie together at a detailed level.If you have a mystery leak, a questionable wall, or a looming project that feels overwhelming—and you’re hesitant to call a big company that’s just going to send a salesperson to upsell you—reach out. When I have a window, I’ll swing by, take a look with you at no cost, and give you straight, practical answers on what is actually happening, whether it's a simple fix, or how to tackle it in phases that fit a real-world budget. Zero obligation.GET IN TOUCH!

About

I’m a lifelong learner and multifaceted maker bringing the eye of an artist, the patience of a craftsman, and the discipline of a Navy submariner to every project. Off the tools, I’m a licensed drone pilot and total tech nerd—usually deep in a home automation build, dubbing digital libraries onto vintage cassette decks, or running the Forest Park trails with my dog. Proudly based in St. Johns.
