About
A local contractor who answers his own phone
When you call Dave Wilson's Handy Hammer, you talk to Dave. He's the one who walks your project, writes your estimate, and stands behind the work.
Our story
Built in Grants Pass
Dave Wilson has been a licensed residential general contractor in Oregon since 2015, running Dave Wilson's Handy Hammer out of Grants Pass. The work covers the full range of a home: kitchen and bathroom remodels, custom tile showers, decks and covered patios, drywall, painting and the everyday repairs that keep a house in good shape. With a licensed electrician and plumber on hand, it's a true one-stop shop: one call covers the whole project.
Dave is the licensed contractor of record on every job. He's the Responsible Managing Individual named on the company's Oregon CCB license. In plain terms, the person who answers your call is the person accountable for the work, not a salesperson handing you off to a crew you've never met.
Over more than a decade of licensed work, the projects have ranged from custom tile showers and full kitchen remodels to covered decks built from the posts up. You can see many of them, start to finish, on our Our Work page.
The goal on every job is simple: do it right, be honest about what it takes, and leave you with work you're proud to show off.

Craftsmanship
Proper waterproofing, flat tile, square framing, clean finishes. We take pride in the parts you see and the parts you don't.

Southern Oregon roots
Building for the way we live here
Homes in the Rogue Valley see hot, dry summers and long wet winters. We build with that in mind: decks that shed water, showers waterproofed properly behind the tile, and finishes that hold up to real family life.
Being local means we're here after the job is done, too. You'll see us around town, and we want you to be glad you did.
