Handyman work, done properly
Drywall Repair & Install
Patch work, full room repairs, and complete new drywall installs, including through a master bathroom remodel down to protecting the finished floors while the work is done.
Interior Painting
Rooms, vaulted ceilings, and full interiors, including help picking colors when you want a second opinion before committing to a can of paint.
Carpentry & Trim Repair
Stair trim, baseboards, closet door frames, and new doorways cut and framed where you need one, finished clean and matched to what is already there.
Door Installation
New interior and exterior doors hung and finished, including frame relocation when a doorway needs to move to a new spot in the house.
Plumbing Fixtures
Faucet installs and leaky faucet repairs, quoted upfront before any work starts so there is no surprise at the end of the job.
Water Heater Safety Straps
Seismic strap installation on water heater tanks, often needed fast for a home sale, with an honest check first in case the straps are already there.
Deck Cleaning & Refinishing
Power washing and refinishing to bring a tired deck back before it needs full replacement, done with care around the surrounding landscaping.
General Handyman Repairs
Appliance install, electrical, furniture assembly, TV mounting, and ceiling damage repair from roof leaks. If it needs fixing around the house, it is worth a call.
Josh is on every job, start to finish
South Sound Handyman LLC is Josh Hadley's business, built on 14 years of construction experience before he founded the company in 2020. Every review on this page names Josh directly, because customers deal with him from the first estimate to the final walkthrough, not a rotating crew of subcontractors.
Josh holds an active Washington State General Construction Contractor license (#SOUTHSH799RN), and customers who compare quotes consistently mention his pricing coming in lower than other companies they called, with no surprise costs added at the end.
The work itself covers a lot of ground: drywall and full remodels, interior painting, carpentry and trim, plumbing fixtures, and the smaller jobs other contractors skip past, like water heater safety straps and deck refinishing.
A realtor called Josh in with just a few hours notice to strap down a water heater before a sale closed. When he got there, he called her first to say the straps were already installed, rather than charging for work that did not need doing.
Master bathroom, drywall to finish
A master bathroom remodel that needed extensive drywall repair and a full new drywall install. Josh worked clean, protected the new tile floor the entire time, and finished with dust kept to almost nothing in the rest of the house.

What customers say
"If I could give more stars I would. Absolutely fantastic drywall work done by Josh. We needed extensive drywall repair as well as new drywall install through our master bathroom remodel and Josh came in and fixed everything for us. He did an excellent job and we could not be happier. He was very good in his communications, he was on time, worked clean, and took a lot of care to cover and protect our belongings while he was here. He covered the new tile floor and kept dust to virtually nothing in the rest of the house which is incredible in a finished house like ours. In fact, his estimate came in lower than other people we called. Once you find a handyman like Josh you keep them. Good workers like him are not easy to find."
"Josh is amazing. He helped install a bathroom faucet. Josh is easy to communicate with and a fast and efficient worker. Upfront with pricing too. I will absolutely be using Josh again in the future."
"Josh is great. He shows up, he does a good job and does honest work. I'm a realtor and I know I can always count on Josh to help my clients. This particular seller needed to install earthquake straps to his water heater and Josh showed up with just a few hours heads up and got the job done. When he got to the house, he called me to tell me there were straps already on the tank, he is so honest. He is so easy to work with and always shows up with positive and cheerful energy. I will always send Josh to my clients."
"Josh did a fantastic job with painting our downstairs. We have vaulted ceilings and it would have been a nightmare to try to do this ourselves. Josh came out and gave us a free quote which wound up being significantly less than other companies we looked at. He also took care of everything and suggested paint colors when we had questions. Very knowledgeable and professional and highly recommend his work."
"Josh did an amazing job. He arrived on time, was very polite and listened to my concerns. I had ceiling damage from a bad roof. Josh was able to come in, virtually eyeball the problem, gave me a quote that was fair and completed the job with perfection. I will use him again for future projects. Highly recommend."
