Handyman in Finley, WA

Finley is an unincorporated community southeast of Kennewick, stretched along the south bank of the Columbia River downstream from the city, with a little over six thousand residents spread across about eleven square miles of land. It takes its name from George Finley, an early settler, and it includes the old community of Hedges. For most of its history it has been farm and orchard country with an industrial strip along the river, and that's still the feel of the place: houses on large lots and small acreages, irrigated pasture, hay and orchard ground, and long gravel driveways. The housing is a mix you don't see much inside the cities. There are farmhouses and ranch homes from the middle of the last century, manufactured homes on their own land, newer custom homes built on acreage over the past few decades, and a handful of small subdivisions. Many properties have detached shops, barns, horse fencing and long runs of perimeter fence. Because Finley is outside city limits, a lot of homes rely on private wells and septic systems, which shapes how we approach plumbing fixtures and water-related repairs. It's a place where people tend to do plenty themselves and call for help when the list outgrows their weekends.

Finley's landmarks are mostly outdoors. Two Rivers Park sits on the Columbia at the north end of the community, with a boat launch, picnic shelters and room to walk along the water, and Hover Park, a stretch of natural river land with trails, lies a bit farther along the shore. SR 397 runs through the area and ties Finley to Kennewick to the north and I-82 to the south, and the Finley School District, with River View High School, is a real center of community life. On the hills above, the land opens up into wheat and dry country toward the Horse Heaven Hills, and from many properties you can see across the river toward Pasco and Burbank. The wind gets a long run at Finley across the open fields and the water, and the dust and tumbleweeds it carries pile up against fences, gates and outbuildings. Summers are hot and bright, and winters can bring freezing fog that settles along the river for days. Living out here means long fence lines, outbuildings to keep up, irrigation equipment to work around and a fair drive to the hardware store, which is why people like having one person who brings the parts and handles the whole list.

Jobs we handle a lot around Finley

Finley lists lean outdoors and practical. We repair and replace fence posts and panels, re-hang gates that sag under their own weight, fix doors on houses and outbuildings that have shifted on settling foundations, and build storage in shops and garages. Inside, it's faucets and toilets worn by hard well water, light fixtures and ceiling fans for rooms that heat up in summer, drywall and panel repairs, and door and window weatherstripping to keep the dust out. Before winter we wrap exposed hose bibs, check door sweeps and clean gutters on houses and shops. Pressure washing driveways, patios, RV pads and siding streaked by sprinkler water is a regular spring and fall job.
