About Collegiate
Hi, I'm Loren. I'm a college student and a Spokane local who started Collegiate Home Services to prove something: that showing up on time, communicating clearly, and doing the work right the first time is rare enough to build a business around.
With 5 years of hands-on trade experience and a lifetime of solving problems, I bring more than just tools to the job. I bring the kind of attention and care that most homeowners have stopped expecting.
```The name says it all. Collegiate.
I am a college student, and that is exactly why this business is called what it is. The name Collegiate Home Services exists to represent where I am in life right now, but also what I want to build toward. Too many students graduate unsure of their path, told that a white collar career is the only route to success. I want to show them something different, that the trades offer real income, real independence, and real satisfaction. Coming from someone their own age who is building it in real time, that message lands differently. Collegiate Home Services is proof that you can start with your hands and build something you are proud of.
What I Do
From small repairs to large projects, Collegiate Home Services handles the jobs that keep your home running right. Fully insured in Spokane, WA.
From drywall patches to door frames, no repair is too small. If it is broken, I will fix it the right way the first time.
Custom cabinet installation and refacing with finish carpentry precision. Kitchen and bathroom upgrades that last.
Baseboards, crown molding, door casings, and finish trim installed with the attention to detail it deserves.
Interior remodeling and renovation done right. Kitchen updates, bathroom refreshes, and room transformations.
TV mounting, ceiling fans, shelving, fixtures, flooring, and furniture assembly. Fast, clean, and done correctly.
Ongoing home maintenance for property owners and managers. Reliable, communicative, and consistent every visit.
Got a list of things that need doing around the house? That is exactly what I am here for. Leaky faucet, loose door, broken hinge, stuck window, caulking, weatherstripping, touch-ups, and anything else on your list. No job is too small. Get in touch and we will knock it all out in one visit.
Why Choose Us
Collegiate Home Services is a properly structured business with full liability insurance. You are not hiring just a handyman. You are hiring a professional who treats your home and your time with the same respect they give their own work.
You get a clear quote upfront and I will not change it without a conversation first. No surprise invoices. No hidden fees.
I'm not a clock-watcher. If I finish early, I'll ask what else needs attention. You hired me for the time and I treat it that way.
I show up when I say I will, I call when I say I will, and I keep you updated throughout. Simple as that.
No hourly billing. No watching the clock. I offer straightforward half-day and full-day rates so you know exactly what you are getting into before I arrive.
I source and purchase all materials so you do not have to. Materials are billed at cost plus a standard markup. For larger jobs a deposit is required before work begins to cover material costs. Everything is itemized and transparent before I start.
