Services
WE ARE YOUR HOME REPAIR SPECIALISTS
OUR HANDYMAN SERVICES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:
MAINTENANCE
Dryer Vent Cleaning
A compromised dryer vent will not exhaust properly. As a result, overheating may occur which can cause a fire. Another problem with a clogged vent is that your dryer will not perform its functions properly which could cause a malfunction and damage to your appliance.
Professional dryer vent cleaning not only ensures your dryer's external airflow, but could extend the life of your machine and prevent lint-based dryer fires from starting.
Gutter Cleaning
Clogged gutters can accumulate debris and collect water, causing them to become damaged under the mounting weight. This can also lead to rust and corrosion, shortening the lifespan of your gutters. Gutters that receive proper maintenance and cleaning can last for 20 to 50 years depending on the material used.Â
Weather stripping
Weatherstripping helps to prevent water damage, keep insects out of the home and minimizes electric bills.
Caulking
In addition to sealing air leaks, caulking can also prevent water damage inside and outside of the home when applied around faucets, ceiling fixtures, water pipes, drains, bathtubs, and other plumbing fixtures.Â
Spring/Fall yard and tree trim
General trimming and clean up of your yard and landscaping to get it ready for regular upkeep for you or your landscaper.
Check SMOKE/CO2 DETECTORS
Ensure that the smoke/CO2 alarm is securely fastened to the wall or ceiling, shows no evidence of physical damage, paint application, or excessive grease and dirt accumulations. That the ventilation holes are clean and free of obstructions and the signal sounds when the test device is operated.Â
Replace air/water filters
Designed to remove contaminants like dust, pet hair, and chemicals from your air or water, filters need to be cleaned or replaced regularly or the devices they aid won't function as necessary. Even more crucially, air filters help prevent all the gunk in the air in the home from getting into your body.Â
Flush water heater
Water heater manufacturers suggest flushing your water heater every year to get rid of sediment build up inside of it. The water in your tank can bring in minerals that solidify on the bottom and sides of your water heater and, unless flushed out, can cause your water heater to fail.Â
Exterior prep/paint
Wash, scrape, repair, caulk. Protect unpainted surfaces. Paint the home with brush, roller and/or sprayer. Clean and touch up after painting.
Clean a/c coils and drain
Dirt and grime on AC coils makes it harder for your equipment to transfer heat. That means it has to run longer and work harder to do it's job, using more energy and causing parts to wear and break down. Dirty coils also get corroded which leads to refrigerant leaks.Â
The drain line is an essential, yet often overlooked, part of your air conditioner. If it becomes clogged, water damage and mold growth in and around your AC can result, or your air conditioner may stop working entirely.
Dishwasher and filter cleaning
If you don't clean your dishwasher and filter, food from your dishes will build up in the filter and drain resulting in dirty water, unsanitary conditions, foul smells and a less efficient cleaning cycle. Having your dishwasher cleaned by a professional will also ensure that dirt, grime and mold are removed from the seals, cracks and crevices to bring your dishwasher back to an almost new condition.
Hard water stain cleaning
Hard water stains not only leave behind unsightly residue but they can also slow and eventually clog drains. No matter how hard we try, hard water, calcium, lime and rust stains are some of the most difficult stains to remove. Let us help you!
