You’ve probably had it happen. You call, leave a message, and never hear back. Or someone comes out, promises a quote, and disappears.
That’s the whole reason this business exists.
Every call and text gets answered the same day. You’ll get a real time window, not “sometime Tuesday.” If I’m running late, you’ll hear it from me before you have to wonder. And if your job isn’t something I can do well, I’ll say so and point you to someone who can.
It’s a low bar. It’s also why most of my work comes from people who were let down by somebody else.

“Ray texted me back in ten minutes on a Sunday, came out Monday morning exactly when he said, and fixed a door three other guys wouldn’t even quote. I’ve already given his number to two neighbors.”

Small stuff, mostly. That is what people actually need.
How it works
Same-day answer, always. Tell me what’s going on, a photo helps.
Most jobs I can price on the phone or from a picture. Bigger ones, I come look. Free, no obligation.
A two-hour window on a specific day. Not “Tuesday.”
Most jobs are done in one visit. You’ll get a photo of the finished work if you’re not home.
Card, check, or Venmo. Nothing up front on jobs under $500.
Service area
Based in Ellensburg, out to the whole county.
No trip charge anywhere in Kittitas County. Just outside? Call anyway. If I’m already headed that direction, I’ll make it work.
About
I’m Ray. I spent nine years working for other people’s construction and remodel crews before starting Cascade Handyman in 2019. Most of what I learned in those years was what not to do, mainly, don’t leave people hanging.
It’s me and one helper, Marcus. That’s on purpose. A bigger crew means more overhead, more scheduling, and more chances your job becomes somebody’s afterthought.
I live in Ellensburg. My kids go to school here. If I do bad work, I hear about it at the grocery store.

“Showed up on time, texted when he was ten minutes out, and cleaned up after. Two other guys never even returned my call.”
Marcus T., Kittitas“I had a laundry list, a door, two blinds, a leaky faucet, and a hole my son put in the wall. Ray knocked it all out in one afternoon and charged less than I expected.”
Priya R., Ellensburg“We’re an hour out in Cle Elum and he still came, no extra charge. Fixed the deck rail my husband had been ‘getting to’ since spring.”

No. Half of what I do is an hour of work, a door that won’t latch, a towel bar, a light fixture. Two-hour minimum, and most people stack up a few things to fill it.
$95/hour with a two-hour minimum, plus materials. Most single jobs land between $190 and $400. Bigger projects get a flat quote before I start, so you’re never surprised.
Yes, and I know why you’re asking. You get a two-hour window on a specific day, a text when I’m ten minutes out, and a call from me if anything changes.
Licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington. Happy to send the certificate before I come out.
Same-day answer, always. Most jobs get scheduled within three to five days. Genuine emergencies, water, no heat, a door that won’t lock, I work in same-day when I can.
Fine, as long as I can get in. I’ll send photos of the finished work and you can pay after you’ve seen it.
Call and I’ll tell you today whether I can fix it, what it’ll run, and when I can be there.
Or text a photo to the same number, sometimes that’s all I need to give you a price.
