Handyman Services

The most common projects that I tend to do for homeowners are kitchen & bath faucets, outside stair rails (vinyl or wrought iron), re-caulking tubs, showers & sinks, changing out toilets, changing light fixtures & fans, re-screening torn screens, replacing exterior & interior doors and storm doors and all things deck related——replacing bad boards, sanding and staining, to a complete deck rebuild using composite or wood, last but not least——anything related to aging in place, such as grab bars, floating sinks that are wheelchair accessible & walk in bathtubs,

I believe these items are in highest demand, because they either wear out or go out of style and as for aging in place products, folks just want to stay in their homes longer, seniors are living longer and product innovations in these area , are constantly improving,

Although most of my clients have me on speed dile, I truly get so much satisfaction in completing these projects, I sometimes forget that I’m working for them, I sort of get lost in the project, my standard of acceptability is usually much higher than my clients, I guess I am competing against myself,

When you love what you do it doesn’t feel like work!

If I sound like a good resource to you please don’t hesitate to contact me!

Rotted Deck Posts

Many deck posts are installed incorrectly, and can cause dryrot as a result,

Rotted deck posts pose a real threat,

The posts support the beam that supports the entire deck,

Very often this dryrot goes unnoticed because it below grade,

Deck posts are often buried in soil or installed directly into concrete, wile the concrete is setting,

Either way is incorrect, moisture will enter into the bottom of the post and eventually cause dryrot,

To change out posts that are beginning to rot can be a little tricky,

Supporting the deck while changing out the posts is crucial and needs to be done correctly,

A Toe Jack can be used to support the deck as well as jacking the deck up a tad to slide the new post underneath,

After the new post is in position, release the Jack and let the beam slowly drop onto the new post,

Putting the post in some sort of post holder will keep it from rotting in the future!

Mini-Split Line Set Covers

Very often, folks have Mini-Split systems installed and line sets are left uncovered, weather takes a toll,

In a recent case there were vines/weeds hanging off the line sets, and the insulation was coming loose, an electric cable was also hanging down,

A vinyl line set cover can really create a clean look,

Having the line set cover can also help protect against the elements
