What I do
One call for the whole punch list
Most island homes have a list — the door that sticks, the gutter that overflows every November, the deck board that’s gone soft, the shelf that’s been in a box since spring. I work through the list.
I’m Ben Henkel. I live in Friday Harbor and I run San Juan Islands Property Care. Small repairs, seasonal maintenance, and ongoing property care for homes across San Juan Island and the rest of the San Juans — including the outer islands the ferry doesn’t reach.

Monthly property care for owners who aren’t here year-round. Scheduled walkthroughs, photo reports after every visit, and coordination with other trades when something needs a specialist. You get a text and a photo set, not a surprise in April.
Service area
Where I work
Based in Friday Harbor, working across San Juan Island — town, Roche Harbor, Cape San Juan, False Bay, and everything between.
I also run scheduled island days on Orcas, Lopez, and Shaw, and I take my own 16-foot skiff to the outer islands the ferry never reaches — Decatur, Blakely, Waldron, Stuart, Center, Crane, Henry, Johns, Brown, Obstruction, and Pearl. If you’re off-island, get on the list and I’ll come over on the next run.

San Juan Islands Property Care is a new business, earning its first reviews. I’d rather earn them than fake them. Call and I’ll tell you exactly what I can and can’t do for your project.
