GALAXSAW Handyman Services

Hi, I'm Alex, the owner of GALAXSAW Handyman Services. After working as a commercial carpenter on large-scale construction projects—including a new Nike facility in Beaverton—I discovered that I enjoy the personal side of construction: helping homeowners, landlords, and local businesses with smaller projects that need attention and quality workmanship.

Today, I provide reliable handyman services throughout the Portland metro area. I specialize in small residential and commercial projects that many larger contractors don't take on, including repairs and installations that can typically be completed in four hours or less. My experience includes electrical and plumbing fixture replacements, PEX-A and PEX-B plumbing work, door lock and hardware installation, door jamb repairs, and many other home maintenance and repair services.

I am proud to be part of the Home Depot Pro Services contractor network and have completed projects for local organizations, including Reynolds School District. I am licensed, bonded, and insured through the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB #233510).

Whether you are a homeowner, landlord, or property manager, my goal is simple: provide dependable service, clear communication, and quality repairs you can trust.

Thank you for visiting GALAXSAW Handyman Services. I look forward to helping with your next project.

Rental Property & Airbnb Handyman Services in Portland

Owning a rental property can mean dealing with dozens of small repairs and maintenance tasks that need attention at the right time. A loose fixture, damaged wall, broken screen, malfunctioning cabinet, leaking faucet, or furniture that needs assembly may not require a major contractor, but leaving small problems unattended can create unnecessary inconvenience for tenants and guests.

GALAXSAW provides handyman services for landlords, Airbnb hosts, and rental property owners in Portland, Oregon and the surrounding metro area. I specialize in smaller residential repairs, maintenance, installations, and property improvements that can often be handled efficiently without bringing in a large contractor.

A Local Handyman for Your Rental Property

When you own or manage a rental property, dependable communication is just as important as the repair itself. You need to know that someone local can look at a problem, communicate with you about what is needed, and take care of appropriate work without requiring you to be physically present.

I work directly with property owners on smaller projects and provide straightforward communication throughout the process. If you are local, you can coordinate the work directly with me. If you live outside the Portland area, I can communicate with you remotely and provide photos after the work is completed.

Because GALAXSAW is a one-person handyman service, I personally handle the work rather than sending an unknown technician to your property.

Help for Out-of-Town & Out-of-State Property Owners

Many rental property owners live outside Portland—or even outside Oregon. When something needs attention at your rental, traveling to the property yourself for every small repair simply isn't practical.

This is where having a dependable local handyman can make property ownership easier.

You can send a description of the problem and photos when possible. After reviewing the project, I can let you know whether it is something GALAXSAW can handle. Once the work is completed, photos of the finished work can be provided so you can see what was repaired, replaced, installed, or improved without making a trip to Portland.

This can be particularly useful for landlords managing properties from another city or state, as well as owners who simply don't have the time to handle smaller maintenance projects themselves.

Rental Property Maintenance & Tenant Turnover

Between tenants is often a convenient time to take care of several smaller projects at once.

A rental property turnover may involve tasks such as:

Repairing or replacing damaged fixtures
Installing or replacing faucets
Repairing window screens
Assembling furniture Installing shelves, hooks, racks, and other storage
Repairing minor wall damage
Replacing damaged hardware
Installing bathroom vanities
Installing bike racks or other storage systems
Completing other appropriate small handyman projects

If you have a list of several smaller items, send the list along with photos whenever possible. I can review the individual tasks and determine which projects can reasonably be handled together.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Maintenance

Short-term rental properties can experience more frequent wear because different guests use the property throughout the year. Small maintenance problems can also become more urgent when a new guest is scheduled to arrive.

GALAXSAW can help with appropriate smaller maintenance and improvement projects between guests, including fixture replacement, furniture assembly, screen repair, shelving and storage installation, hardware replacement, and other handyman tasks.

If something needs attention before the next guest arrives, send photos and a description of the issue. I can determine whether it is something I can handle and what information is needed before scheduling.

Preventive Maintenance Can Save You Money

Small problems are often easier and less expensive to address before they become larger ones.

A loose fixture, damaged screen, deteriorating piece of hardware, or minor wall damage may seem insignificant today, but allowing small issues to accumulate can eventually lead to more expensive repairs or a less attractive property.

Regular attention to the smaller details can help maintain the property's appearance and functionality, provide a better experience for tenants and guests, and help protect your investment over time.

The goal isn't to recommend unnecessary work. It's to address appropriate maintenance issues when they actually need attention and avoid turning a small problem into a larger one.

Tenant & Guest Satisfaction

A well-maintained rental property is more comfortable for the people living in or visiting it.

For landlords and property managers, promptly addressing reasonable maintenance concerns can help create a better experience for tenants. For Airbnb hosts, taking care of small problems between guests can help keep the property looking and functioning as intended.

GALAXSAW can be a local resource for the smaller repairs and improvements that don't necessarily require a large contractor.

Documentation After the Work

If you cannot be at the property, you shouldn't have to wonder what happened after a maintenance visit.

When appropriate, I can provide photos of the completed work after the project. This gives you a visual record of the repair or improvement and can be particularly useful when managing your rental property remotely.

Photos can also help document several maintenance items completed during a tenant turnover or property improvement project.

Electronic Payment for Remote Owners

For customers who cannot be at the property in person, payment can be handled electronically through Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal, when available.

The process is simple: we communicate about the project, the agreed-upon work is completed, photos can be provided afterward, and payment can be made electronically. You don't need to arrange an in-person meeting simply to complete a small maintenance project.

What GALAXSAW Is Best Suited For

GALAXSAW is a good fit for smaller residential rental-property maintenance, repair, installation, and improvement projects.

Examples include fixture replacement, furniture assembly, window screen repair, shelving and storage installation, minor repairs, bathroom fixture installation, and many other smaller handyman projects.

Because I work alone and focus on smaller projects, very large repairs, major remodeling, extensive construction, or work requiring multiple workers or specialized trades may not be a good fit.

If you're unsure, send a description of the work and photos of the property or problem. I can let you know whether the project is appropriate for GALAXSAW.
