Clackamas is a mix, and so are its doors: original 1960s and 1970s doors on the Town Center tracts that swell shut every November, cottage doors under the firs on the river side with jambs soft at the sill, and builder sliders and French doors on the Sunnyside hills that drag and will not latch. We plane, rehang, rebuild the frame, replace the rollers and install the door you bought.

THE LISTALL DONEEach of these is a short visit for a Kaminskiy-certified technician from our Lake Oswego office, across the 205. One list, one call.
Priced and on the calendar during the first call.
A written quote you approve before anyone drives out.
One crew, truck stocked, warranty in writing.
A one-year workmanship warranty, in writing, on every Clackamas job.
Tracts from the 1960s and 1970s with T1-11, lap siding, fir trim, the original doors and side gates that stay wet all winter. Doors swell, the bottom course and the side-door jamb rot first, drywall cracks where the house settled. We splice new wood into old, rehang the doors and match the paint.
Older homes and cottages on big lots under tall firs, some with cedar shingles and long runs of trim that never see sun. Moss holds the wet on the shaded walls, needles block the gutters, and the fascia, the porch posts and the siding bottoms go soft. We rebuild what has gone, keep what is sound and match the profile.
Newer subdivisions on slopes with association standards, decks and railings facing the weather, builder sliders and siding from before the moisture rules. Deck boards rot at the ends, rail posts at the base, rollers wear out, and a stain below a window means water behind the siding. We rebuild, flash and match the scheme.
Shade and needles, mostly. The big lots on the river side sit under firs that keep the walls dark from October to June, moss holds the wet against the siding and the fence, and needles block the gutters so the fascia takes the overflow. On the tracts the doors and the T1-11 are fifty years old; on the hills the decks take the weather for the house. None of it is dramatic, and all of it is cheaper this year than next.
Doors, drywall, siding, trim, fences, gates, decks, gutters, rot and the small list are handyman work. In Oregon electricians and plumbers carry their own licenses, and the roof, gas and anything load-bearing go to the licensed trade; we name those as hand-offs and do the carpentry around them. A licensed pest company treats the carpenter ants; we fix the water that drew them and rebuild the wood.
Describe the list or text a photo and most Clackamas repairs are priced in writing before anything is scheduled, from our office in Lake Oswego across the 205. A deck on the slope, a porch under the firs or a bath refresh gets a look first and a written scope. If the wood hides more than the photo showed, you hear it before we go on.
A Clackamas address can be unincorporated county, Happy Valley or Milwaukie, and that decides who answers the permit question and whether an association reviews the outside. We confirm which on the call, before anything is quoted, so the answer about your deck or your fence is the right one for your street.
We answer in under three rings and most repairs are priced on the call, in writing, before anything is booked.
The technician arrives with the hardware, patching and fastening stock the usual list needs, so the first visit is the working visit.
Rot, a frame rebuild, a slider swap or a bathroom item gets a look and a written scope. You approve before work begins.
Every job is backed by our one-year workmanship warranty, and the area is clean when we leave.
Under Oregon law a person paid to repair or improve a house needs a Construction Contractors Board license, and a handyman is a contractor in the state's eyes; the only small-job exception is a casual one-off by someone outside the trade who does not advertise. Kaminskiy Care and Repair holds CCB #252813, is bonded and insured, with Kaminskiy-certified technicians, and sends electrical and plumbing, licensed separately by the state, and anything structural to the right license.
The unincorporated Clackamas streets are served by Clackamas County Building Codes, which administers Oregon's statewide residential code: no permit to repair or replace siding that is not fire-rated, to replace a window or a door in the same opening, to paint, for gutters, or for a deck under 30 inches, and no application for an ordinary repair with like materials. A tall deck, a wider opening or a cut structural member is where a permit starts, and we check with the county, or the city if your address is in one, before a job like that.
Sunnyside, Carver and many of the newer east-side streets have associations; a repair painted to match rarely needs a form, a new color, door style or fence stain sometimes does, and we put the materials and finish in writing for it. Oak Grove, Jennings Lodge and Oatfield mostly have none. Oregon's moisture rules for siding apply to a re-side, not to a spliced sheet or a replaced course, and we say so when a wall is past repairing.
Across the 205 from our office. Your Clackamas crew dispatches from our Lake Oswego office on Centerpointe Drive, twenty minutes over the river, so most calls are scheduled within days. Call 971-571-5787, text a photo, or send the form. The whole metro is on our Portland handyman page.
Can't find your answer? Call 971-571-5787 and ask us anything.
Call 971-571-5787We answer in under three rings, price most repairs on the call and usually have a technician at the house within days from our Lake Oswego office, twenty minutes across the 205, Town Center or river side.
Text the list or a photo of the worst item and the number comes in writing before anything is booked. A deck on the slope, a porch under the firs or a bathroom item gets a look first and a written scope. There is no service fee waiting at the door.
Yes. The front door, the side gate, the drywall crack and the gutters go on one list, and a Kaminskiy-certified technician with a stocked truck works through it. A special-order door or a shingle match gets a second visit, scheduled before we leave.
In Oregon it is the same person: anyone paid to repair a home needs a Construction Contractors Board license, handymen included. Kaminskiy Care and Repair holds CCB #252813, is bonded and insured, and every technician is Kaminskiy-certified and background checked. Electrical and plumbing are separate state licenses, and we tell you who to call for those.
Not for siding repair, a same-size window or door, paint, gutters or a low deck: the state code the county administers exempts those, and an ordinary repair with like materials needs no application. A tall deck or a cut structural member is where a permit starts, and we confirm whether your address answers to the county, Happy Valley or Milwaukie before we quote.
Moss means the wall stays wet, not that it has rotted yet. Press a screwdriver into the bottom edge of the siding and the sill corners: if it sinks, that is a repair; if it does not, we hose the moss off in a dry week, limb the trees up and repaint that wall before the paint fails, and the list is shorter next year.
