DRYWALL REPAIR
How much time do you spend thinking about drywall? Probably not much, even though it's a part of almost every building in Leesburg. But when it suffers damage, you can't help but notice the signs of messy drywall every time you enter the room.
Drywall is more than just cosmetic though. Holes and cracks decrease the comfort of your home by letting noise travel freely from room to room and also increase your utility costs by forcing your HVAC system to work harder in order to compensate for air that has escaped inside the walls.
Mr. Handyman can repair any damage your walls have suffered, from the basement to attic drywall.
Our drywall repair services include:
- Drywall removal process
- Patching or putting in entire new panels
- Mudding, sanding, and taping joints
- Painting services to refinish walls
- Rehang framed photos and curtains
Sometimes it's obvious what caused damage to your drywall, but other issues such as excessive moisture in the air or water leaks can be harder to pinpoint. If you don't know what caused the damage, we can trace the problem to its source and eliminate it for good so it doesn't reoccur in a few weeks or months.
WOOD ROT REPAIR
Wood rot is decay caused by fungi that require the timber to have high moisture content in order to begin growing, so anything that's made of timber will be susceptible outdoors —especially in Virginia, where annual rainfall is quite a bit higher than the national average. Wood rot causes timber to soften and crumble, creating hazards and sometimes structural damage for many outdoor structures.
Potential problem areas include:
- Decks
- Porches
- Window frames
- Entryways
- Roof eaves
- Siding
Examining your home for wood rot should be a part of your annual maintenance checklist. Look closely for the following signs:
- Discolored patches that appear lighter or darker than surrounding wood, or have a white, yellow, or purplish hue
- Texture changes that make the wood look spongy, stringy, or webbed with cracks
- Timber breaking apart into cube-shaped chunks (called cubical fracture) or crumbling into "sawdust"
If you notice any of these symptoms, grab a screwdriver and press it against the suspicious patch. If it sinks right in, you've got wood rot.
The team at Mr. Handyman has the expertise to eliminate wood rot from your home so you can rest assured that your timber will survive another season and protect the internal structure of the building from water damage. Our service pros are experienced in all types of wood rot handyman jobs, from window repair to siding repairs and deck replacement.
PRESSURE WASHING
Never seen a pressure washer in action? You'll be impressed by how dramatically it can improve the appearance of your property. If you have an old, moss-covered concrete patio and siding caked with grime, you might not know what color they truly are until they've gotten a good scouring from a pressure washer.
If you're planning to paint or stain your deck, porch, or other outdoor surfaces, pressure cleaning services are the perfect way to prime those surfaces for renovation. It doesn't just clean off dirt. It's capable of removing loose paint and other debris much faster and more efficiently than sanding, leaving you with a smooth, clean surface to paint.
Some other items that can be pressure washed include:
- Siding
- Patio Furniture
- Driveways and walkways
- Play equipment
- Fences
