Any good referrals for a handyman in the Seattle area?  I always have a need for small repairs here and there.

Just wanted to "Bump" this thread... I also am needing a handyman to do some small repairs at my rental (window needs to be fixed, some trim work). Hoping to find someone that I can call on when needed... does anybody have any leads? (Unit located in Shoreline area)

Thanks!

I'm in the same boat. Sometimes craigslist is your best bet. Post a general labor ad and you'll get 10+ hits immediately. It's a hit or miss process but you'll eventually find a reliable handyman.

I can give you referrals for gutter cleaning, window washing, pressure washing, roof cleaning, roof replacement, painting. Handymen are a little hard to find (the good ones). You can try http://www.wehoneydo.com/ for general services. If you want to check Craigslist you can do that. It can be hit and miss as far as reliability.

Maybe try asking the employees of your local home depot or lowes?   Busy investors may not want to share their handymen for fear they will get busy when they need them.
