K&M construction built us a new, custom automated driveway gate for our Portland home last year…read more The whole experience was top notch from start to finish. First, Kyle and his team actually took the time to have a conversation with us on the exact specifications we wanted instead of the other construction fencing/gate firms that I talked to when shopping around who seemed more limited. For any part that was not going to work structurally or I didn't have ideas for, they came with knowledgeable recommendations. Second, they came and completed it on-time and within budget, something I haven't experienced with some other gen construction companies. While they were on-site they were friendly and courteous, again a breath of fresh air! There was a slight hiccup when they found that due to a driveway slant, a post they had put in was a tiny bit off on one side - I'm talking less than an inch. Nevertheless they informed me, dug up and replaced the post for FREE, and STILL completed the project on-time. Lastly, it came out exactly how we wanted! They matched our existing fencing perfectly in height/color/patterning, and it works like a dream still to this day. Thank you K&M construction for such a positive experience.

They advertised on their website they are licensed. But as of 10/21/2024, they have a suspended license.

Back in 2017 they were fined for working without a license. I wonder how the CCB will react when they find out Hillsboro Handyman was once again working without a license and committing fraud...

While other companies told me the outdoor posts would be fine, SB told me that I needed to get them replaced right away. They were all rotten inside.

We were a difficult bind in our remodel when our siding company pulled out at the last minute. Our…read moresiding and roofing needed to be done within a month so that we could get it dry before the rains came and move back into our house. I got in touch with Scott and within a week, we had a bid in place and contract signed. He got a crew of like 10 people to get the house protected from weather to keep our project on schedule. Then came to the siding and how the house looked. His crew was precise in making the house look like a work of art. This was achieved by carefully placing belly bands, building front porch columns and adding furring to make the siding look even. On top of that, you will be challenged to find someone more fair in estimates and cost than Scott. You will be very happy with your experience with Better Homes!

After reading reviews and not really sure who to call I call Bobby. Bobby tells me he will be out on Tuesday which will be the day of inspection. I agree thinking they will see we are at least trying to repair it. I get a call from Bobby on 11/31 saying he just was finishing up a job and could do the repair in a few hours if it worked for us. I told him sure knowing that we would have it done before the inspection and how much better that would be. Bobby came out and found a little more damage than what was first thought but repaired and replaced old siding and painted and caulk on Halloween night. Told him he did a great job and we would be using him in the new home. Had him out the other day to check out the projects before we move in and he is all set to start. I will update when we get done with the new home but so far he has been fair, honest and very good at getting the job done and done right.

I contracted Bobby to cover popcorn ceilings in two bedrooms and a small section in my living room…read morewith sheetrock and finish with texture. I also had him frame out and finish an attic entryway in the master bedroom that had popcorn and remove an old cable jack and phone outlet on the wall, patching those areas with drywall. I found his name mentioned on a Nextdoor post from a neighbor down the street from me. After accepting his bid, he was quick to call me to set up a time to sign the contract and to look over the job site. He was able to put me on the schedule within two days of my agreeing to hire him. He worked consecutively for three days. He completed the job on a Wednesday evening around 8:30pm. It was late and dark in the rooms, and I did a quick assessment with the flashlight on my phone. I pointed out a couple areas where I could still see the seams in the drywall, and he reassured me those wouldn't be noticeable once everything had dried. I paid him the remainder of the money and we parted ways. Next day afternoon, I was able to see the finished work in daylight with a better light source, and was not pleased with the work done. I was able to see almost all of the drywall seams. The corners in the attic entryway were not clean and smooth, and there were random marks and lines in the textured ceiling. Texturing was not done evenly. The texture was so thin in some areas that I could see the sheetrock and heavy in other spots where it was dripping down more than a ¼" and casting shadows. Texturing was also done with the attic door sitting in place. The door was sealed to the attic entry where heavy texture dried. I had rip that apart to push the attic door open. The corners in the living room area were not completely filled in nor smooth looking. I was very disappointed that someone who had 13 years experience would leave me with this quality. After a couple days of phone tag, we talked on Saturday. It was a heated conversation on both ends, but we resolved he would come back on Monday to fix any issues. However, during that conversation, he openly admitted to: 1. Rushing the job because it was late, he was tired and wanted to go home and go to bed. He finished on Wednesday, yet he gave himself until Friday in the contract to complete the job. 2. Having inadequate lighting to do the job. Even though the photos that he took of his completed work looked sufficient, after seeing the photos that i had taken during the daylight and with a better light source, showing my dissatisfaction, he realized that his work was not great and blamed that on not having enough light. He was aware that neither bedroom had any lighting going into the job, yet he chose to finish the work at 8:30pm with no daylight and only one light in the room. 3. Not having the correct nozzle for his texturing machine. A better nozzle was left on another jobsite, yet he still decided to use one that he had less control of to get the job done faster. He did use the use the word "nit-picky" when I was voicing my dissatisfaction. I feel that I have a right to be nit-picky about a job in which I'm spending a large chunk of money, putting my trust in him to do good work and wanting clean looking ceilings that I will be living with for the next 5-10+ years. Bobby came back on Monday. He couldn't give me a timeframe of when he would arrive and start work because it depended on how early his guys would get out of bed and get to the job site. In the end, the work looked much better. The seams in the second bedroom were still slightly noticeable, but I made the decision to call the job complete with the idea that adding primer and paint would hide it. Unfortunately, I can still see them after painting. I can say that I will not call him again nor recommend him to a friend.
