About

Hi, I’m Matt.
I’m a local dad, former teacher, and current grad student in counseling. I like working with my hands, figuring things out, and helping people!

I bring years of experience in building maintenance, home projects, farming, and gardening, along with a genuine enjoyment of creative problem-solving and getting things done.I can help with:• Small repairs and home maintenance
• Furniture assembly and shelving installation
• Organizing and cleaning projects
• Garden, yard, and landscaping projects
• Miscellaneous projects that don’t fit neatly on a standard checklistI’m a licensed general contractor with broad capabilities, but I’m intentionally keeping Whistle Pig Projects small. As a grad student and parent, I’m more interested in doing a few good projects each week and connecting with people.A DIFFERENT KIND OF HANDYPERSON
Some projects are easy to put off because they feel overwhelming, messy, personal, or even embarrassing. I especially welcome the ones that can be hard to ask someone for help with.Overgrown yard? Piles of bikes? ADHD craft graveyard? Long-ignored maintenance? Messy AV cords? Grimy walkway? Broken fence? Blackberries? Unrealized garden dreams?Maybe all of the above? I can handle it.No judgment and no lecture. We’ll figure out what would actually help and start there.PRACTICAL • APPROACHABLE •THOUGHTFULSmall projects are generally billed hourly, so you pay for the time the work actually takes rather than an inflated flat-rate estimate. Most work is $60/hour, plus materials and applicable sales tax, with an $80 minimum service visit.For larger or more involved projects, I offer a free consultation and can provide a total project quote upfront.Not sure if your project is something I do?
Just send it along! I’m happy to take a look.LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent-friendly

^{Whistle Pig works and makes their home on the ancestral homelands of the Coast Salish People, who have lived in and stewarded this place from time immemorial. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our Indigenous neighbors. We recognize that colonization is an ongoing process, and we commit to actively unlearning colonial mindsets, supporting tribal sovereignty, and dismantling systemic inequities.}
