The Right Work in the Right Season
Beat the Freeze
Weatherstripping, door sweeps, storm windows, caulking and detector checks help prepare a home for winter. Recurring ice dams need an assessment of their cause; general maintenance does not guarantee prevention.
Winter Prep ServicesMake the Most of the Warm Months
Deck builds and repairs, fence projects, pressure washing, exterior painting and staining, window installs, and gutter work — scheduled early, because our building season is short.

Quick Answers
Updated by Twin Ports Contracting & Repair, Duluth, MN
Do you do remodeling, or just repairs?
Both. Alongside repair lists, we remodel kitchens, bathrooms and showers, finish basements and build home additions. Bigger projects get the same written quote you approve before work starts, and if we open a wall and find hidden damage, we stop and quote it before going further. Any new wiring is done by a licensed electrician under an electrical permit, and plumbing that needs a licensed plumber goes to one.
Which jobs go to a licensed specialist?
Wiring beyond a fixture or switch swap is done by a licensed electrician under an electrical permit, roofing goes to a licensed roofer, garage door springs go to a spring specialist, and gas lines, water heaters and main drains go to the matching licensed trade. Our Minnesota handyman license guide explains what to ask any contractor for.
Is there a handyman near me in Duluth or Superior?
Yes. Twin Ports Contracting & Repair is a handyman and remodeling company serving Duluth, Superior, Hermantown, Proctor, Cloquet, Two Harbors and the towns around them, on both sides of the bridge. Coverage runs west along US-2 to Bemidji and east to Poplar, WI. Call or text (715) 919-7956 with your address and a photo of the job, and we'll confirm the visit.
Do you take emergency handyman calls?
No, we are not a 24-hour emergency service. Most quotes go out within one business day, and an active leak or anything unsafe moves to the front of the queue, so say so when you call or text (715) 919-7956. A furnace or boiler that has stopped heating needs an HVAC contractor with the required local credentials.
