Owning a home is a big responsibility. In order to make sure your house retains its value, there is a lot of upkeep that must be done. Whether you are a DIY expert or clueless when it comes to a home repair project, these are the top five home repairs you should call a handyman for.
1. Gutter Cleaning and Repair
Clearing or fixing your gutters is not the most strenuous home repair activity, but it can be one of the most dangerous. Depending on how many stories your home is, climbing a ladder to get up to your roof is a dangerous activity that causes thousands of injuries every year. Hiring a handyman can not only save you a trip to the hospital, it could also save you from missing the early signs of roof damage.
2. Tile Installation
Adding tile to your home can be a great aesthetic addition to any kitchen or bathroom. Tile is durable and easy to clean. Installing tile, however, can be a different story. One small mistake can throw off the entire layout of your home’s tile. Laying and cutting tile also requires expensive and dangerous tools that most households do not have lying around. Skip the trip to Lowe’s or Home Depot and call your local handyman (psst… us!) to get your tile installed the right way.
3. Painting
Almost every homeowner opts to repaint several rooms in their house upon purchase. While most people decide to paint the inside of their house themselves, many leave with stories of a catastrophe. Painting the outside of your home, however, is a different beast completely. Painting the exterior of your home can be a dangerous job that only those with experience should approach. Save yourself the stress of having to repaint your mistakes. Call One Man the first time.
4. Window Repairs
Whether the neighborhood kids knocked a homerun through your foyer, or you’re struggling with a drafty old window in winter, a handyman is the most reliable solution for your window pain. Save yourself a stressful and frustrating weekend project by picking up the phone and calling a professional to make repairs and adjustments to your windows – frames, screens & all.
5. Bathroom Remodeling
Most of us can work a plunger, but that is where our knowledge of bathroom repairs stops. Fixing leaky pipes, unclogging drains, and remodeling your bathroom fixtures can all come with unexpected surprises. Don’t risk thousands of dollars of water damage just to prove a point! Call on One Man & A Toolbox’s expert handymen and breathe easy knowing your bathroom repairs will be a breeze.
