We know that property owners have a lot on their plate; many work full-time in the city and, at the same time, have a family to care for. If you are a business owner, you probably have countless meetings to attend, paperwork to review and sign. We have all been there. Whether you’re a homeowner or a business owner, property needs grow in the back of your mind as you focus on other priorities. If you’re thinking about the repairs that you haven’t had time to do, or the improvements that you need, our team can help!
These maintenance chores will only add up if not dealt with right away. Not only could that create a guilty conscience when thinking about the people affected by it, but certain situations could also cause serious issues as they drastically worsen. Continuously slamming doors will cause cracks in the walls and scratch the floor. A worn-out window trim could potentially compromise your home’s insulation system. When hiring a local handyman, North Stamford homeowners can rest assured that work will be done correctly and in a timely manner!
DECK STAINING
Your deck is where you sit in the sun to wind down and not think about work. Now and then, you enjoy throwing some food on the grill and inviting friends over for dinner, and when you have guests, you want your deck to be clean—like when you first installed it. Although North Stamford homeowners take pride in their decks, they often forget the necessary maintenance they need to stay in shape.
In our climate, North Stamford’s decks are susceptible to many types of weather damage, depending on the materials used to build them. Sometimes, deck installers don’t realize they used a bad sealant to treat the surfaces. We usually recommend pressure-treated wood that contains an insect and moisture-resistant preservative. Also, resealing your deck every year will further protect it from moisture.
By hiring a local handyman, North Stamford homeowners can get an expert opinion on their deck’s overall health. You might have undetected wood rot that needs immediate treatment before it spreads. Or loose deck boards that would be a safety hazard. Whether it’s restaining or repairing your deck, we have the tools and eye for detail to make it right. Also, if you want power washing to recover its original shine, we are your team!
DOOR INSTALLATIONS
Besides privacy, doors are designed to back your home’s insulation system and protect you from severe weather conditions, intruders or pests. People often take their front door for granted, until sudden incidents cause unexpected damage. Good doors have a lifespan of up to 40 years, but only if you stay on top of maintaining the frame and trim areas that will develop cracks or gaps over time. Door finishes also wear down over time, enabling bigger problems like wood rot. Older houses tend to show more signs of wear and tear, as severe weather conditions cause more damage over the years, but you can avoid those problems with help from a handyman.
Installations, replacements and repairs require certain expertise, where precision and thinking outside the box are crucial. The mistakes amateurs often commit are that they don’t realize that they need more screws—or better screws—than provided, or failing to correctly deal with a frame that’s not square. If you want a hassle-free installation process with high-quality material that ensures no air leaks or squeaky hinges, count on your local handyman. North Stamford residents know that we value their safety, and therefore, we only use durable materials that promote longevity.
Some common interior and exterior styles include:
- Solid wood
- Glass panel (insulated, textured, stained)
- Metal
- PVC
MORE NORTH STAMFORD MAINTENANCE SERVICES!
We are versatile handyman service technicians with a positive can-do attitude, which not many handyman services offer. Therefore, we thrive on being your one-call solution for all your professional handyman services.
North Stamford Baby Proofing
If you have a large home, your kids will need additional safety. We provide baby proofing services to reduce falling risks and prevent unattended access to places where they shouldn’t be or things they shouldn’t touch. Children are super curious when they crawl or take their first steps to make you proud. Installing extra safety measures like an automatic door closer, baby gate or furniture straps will help keep them safe
Fence Installation and Maintenance
Whether it’s wood, vinyl, PVC, wrought iron or aluminum, fences serve as safety barriers for your children and pets—and mark your territory. If you are looking for custom-built fences or fence gates to guard your home, we provide a wide range of styles. If you have an existing fence that needs maintenance, our services include repainting or restaining, termite checks and repairing broken boards and hinges.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Cleaning your dryer vent frequently will prevent the risk of fire. Clogged dryer vents contain combustible lint that can lead to fatal consequences. According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, over 15,000 house fires are caused by dryer fires.
Attic Insulation
A well-insulated attic is the key to your home’s energy efficiency. When it’s clean and dry, you can rest assured that cool fresh air will circulate through your home in the summer. Even if you don’t go up to the attic much, you can still see signs throughout your home that hint toward deteriorating attic insulation.
- Overworking HVAC system
- High energy bills
- Cold, drafty rooms
- Pest infestation
- Leaks
- Moisture and mold
Good-quality attic insulation can last for many decades, but our experts at Mr. Handyman of Upper Fairfield County recommend replacing them every 15 years to ensure good performance.
Gutter Cleaning
Homeowners all dread this grimy and tedious task, but it’s one of the most overlooked maintenance jobs that help maintain a healthy drainage system. Are you equipped with a gutter scoop, gloves, safety glasses and a well-inspected ladder like your local handyman? North Stamford residents with large properties can count on Mr. Handyman of Upper Fairfield County to get this job done for them.
Handyman Repair Services
Whether you have a residential or commercial property, there is always a specific area that eventually shows signs of aging or deterioration. If you need a thorough diagnosis to identify underlying issues, consult your local handyman. North Stamford homeowners should take immediate action if they notice sagging floors or bulged walls. We offer preventative measures to help maintain anything that merely requires repair rather than replacement.
Weather damage and gradual wear don’t always call for immediate action until unexpected repairs seek your attention. The sooner you deal with them, the fewer problems will arise. Residential and commercial spaces require safety and comfort to keep routines going. A drafty window by your reading chair or a broken tile in your bathroom is a nuisance that disrupts your focus.
TILE REPAIR
Tiling may seem easy at first, but when taking a closer look at the details and required surface prep, you might not even know where to start or what material would work best. Endless questions will go through your head, like, “What type of grout do I need?” or “Do I opt for cement tile or porcelain?” Today’s trends have breathed new life into the art of designing tiles, but more importantly, they help tiles serve their functions, whether as part of our home’s flooring, walls or backsplashes.
If you see cracked tiles or worn grout in the shower, you’re seeing an increased risk of water damage behind the walls. Or, if you spill water on your tile floor on top of a cracked piece of tile, you could compromise your subfloor. Whether you need tile repair in your kitchen or tile installation in your bathroom, the best option is to get help from your local handyman. North Stamford homeowners can rely on our team to help them choose the best choice from all the different types, including ceramic, porcelain, slate or marble. Each type has its own characteristics and pros and cons, depending on your needs, and we will help you make the right decision.
Do you have a half-finished basement that needs a proper flooring system before you can build a kids’ play area or a workshop? Or a new kitchen counter that’s missing new backsplashes? If you’re planning tile installation, we have an eye for detail.
Grouting
Grouting is crucial to protecting your tile walls and floors from water damage. It neatly fills the spaces between tiles, creating a seamless appearance. Unsure if you need to use unsanded or finely-sanded grout? It depends on the type. This is where professional grouting service from your local handyman will come in handy.
Additional North Stamford Handyman Repair Services
We have more up our sleeves and offer a wide range of general home repair services that include:
WOOD ROT REPAIR
Do you notice decaying timber with gray strands that crumble? Often, you can’t tell if your affected door or window sill can be saved unless you consult your local handyman. North Stamford homes aren’t always affected by wood rot because of weather. Sometimes, plumbing or weather damage can go undetected.
DRYWALL REPAIR
Small holes in walls can be fixed with basic patching services, whereas larger holes (bigger than six inches in diameter) require drywall replacement. If you’re not a fan of dealing with joint compound, or are unsure how to carefully tape seams with mesh tape, ask your local handyman. North Stamford residents can take some downtime on their deck while we get their drywall job done quickly, correctly and cleanly.
SIDING MAINTENANCE
While siding can last up to 50 years, you need to consider weather damage and problems caused by your home settling. Certain foundational cracks that you encounter inside your home can also reflect on your siding. We recommend keeping an annual checklist for your exterior cladding during which you take pictures and complete maintenance, such as power washing or minor repairs.
