John Palombo Handyman Ashland Oregon

General Manager - Company Owner

John comes from a lineage of craftsman - stone carvers, carpenters, and engineers. His brother, Leo, taught him carpentry as a teenager, building decks and working in a maintenance department for a retirement community together.
John later went on to go to culinary school in Portland, and then worked in the restaurant business in Ashland for several years. Having a leaning toward the visual arts and photography, John took up web and print design and spurred off on his own business making websites, fliers, and book covers. In the fall of 2017, missing the woodworking trade, John created HandymanPlus Services and got his license with the CCB. As he expanded the business, he took on more crew, and eventually brought on an office manager and estimator/project manager, so he could hold a position as general manager. John has been living in Ashland, Oregon since 2024, has two children, and is happier than ever.

Estimator & Project Manager

Pat left us, in body but not in heart, November of 2022. He is greatly missed, and an alter now exists in our office in his honor. Pad had 52 years experience in the construction trades, and served as such a huge asset to our team with his breadth of experience and wisdom. He also served on the board, or been in the service, of several non-profits, including the Death Cafe and Asante Hospice. He made sure all of our clients were cared for communicated with, and heard all along the way with their projects. Pat was an old friend of John's and also his son’s godfather.
