DECK REPAIR AND INSTALLATION
Whether you're hosting backyard parties and barbecues in Powell, settling in for a good soak in the hot tub, chasing the kids and dogs around, or watching the big game, your deck has to look good and serve your needs. Mr. Handyman offers excellent deck repair services!
Rotting boards, nails sticking up, and wobbling handrails aren't just eyesores; they're dangerous hazards for your family and friends that can really put a damper on entertaining or relaxing out on your deck. Even worse, if your deck's condition has deteriorated after a cold, wet season, you won't notice certain damages unless you look closely and inspect your deck boards, fasteners, and anchors.
Whatever is holding your deck back from being the ideal outdoor addition to your home, your local Powell handyman has the expertise and tools to get it absolutely perfect for you. Some of the deck repairs we can take care of include:
- Replacing rotten boards
- Fixing or replacing loose railings
- Installing footings
- Replacing stairs
- Repairing screens and windows
- Staining, painting, and refinishing
- Pressure washing
If your current deck isn't going to cut it, or you have no deck, to begin with, that's not a problem—we'll build your dream deck from the ground up, exactly to your specifications! We can even install a television out on your deck, so you don't have to keep running inside to check the score of the game. Everything you need will be right at your fingertips, so you can just relax and enjoy. If you have any questions regarding deck repair or installation, feel free to contact your professional handyman. Powell, TN homeowners, deserve a safe environment for their favorite outdoor space!
AGING IN PLACE
As the saying goes, there’s no place like home. Many people dread the thought of having to leave their familiar space as they grow older in order to live somewhere that accommodates their safety and mobility needs. But that’s not always necessary—with the right tools and knowledge, your local Powell handyman can retrofit your house’s interior and ensure that you or your family member is able to stay at home comfortably and safely.
If you are looking to enjoy your home throughout your golden years or are supporting a family member in doing so, you can rely on your local handyman. Powell TN houses could benefit from our certified modification skills to make homes appropriate for aging in place. Some of the aging-in-place modifications that we could make to your home include:
- Installing guardrails and handrails
- Widening doorways
- Raising toilet seats
- Installing grab bars
- Installing new shower heads
- Enhancing light fixture systems and switches
- Upgrading cabinet and door handles
Before you make the painful decision to move away, give us a call and ask what we can do to help extend your time in the familiar surroundings of your own living space in Powell.
GUTTER CLEANING
Trees on and near your property are among the fine features that enhance your Powell property and neighborhood—but they sure do fill your rain gutters up with leaves in no time flat. Gutter cleaning is quite a chore under the best circumstances, but it might be next to impossible if climbing ladders is your least favorite or you don’t remember the last time it had an inspection. Unfortunately, our ladders suffer from corrosion over time, affecting the spreaders and rails. A bent step is not always visible either. Your local Powell handyman recommends taking in your ladder for safety inspection if you decide to clean your gutters by yourself.
A bad idea would be leaving the gutters filled up with dead leaves, dirt, animal nests, and other debris. If rainwater can't properly flow down your gutters, all the rain that rolls off your roof will just spill over the sides and pour down the exterior walls. This is damaging to your siding and roofing system and could compromise your house's overall structural integrity. Anyone who has been forced to deal with moisture problems in their walls knows that's not the way to go.
The good news is that you can rely on your certified handyman. Powell TN homeowners aren't always equipped with a gutter scoop, gloves, safety glasses, and a tarp. Not only do we clean, we thoroughly inspect and conduct necessary gutter repairs if we find any broken parts. We’ll also offer to install gutter guards that will help keep them free from large debris and in good working order for a long time to come.
The best about all this? It only takes us a few hours to cross this off your to-do list.
FLOOR INSTALLATION
If you’ve ever heard of the paradox of choice, you will understand what it’s like to choose the appropriate flooring for your needs. That said, even if we know what we want, we might not be aficionados in that area, or it could be a completely wrong choice for our budget and circumstances. This makes finding the right floor system for your new or existing Powell home a headache.
It's always a good idea to do some research first, calculate your budget and write down what you want from a new floor installation. What's suitable for kids or pets? Do you wear slippers or walk barefoot? These are all important criteria that should be part of your decision-making process. It might be too simple to say that you want durable, safe, and cost-effective flooring, but there are many kinds of those. Whether you have a family house or a professional apartment in Powell, each flooring system serves a different purpose. Family homes probably have high-traffic areas where kids run and jump or spill their drinks. Unless you live alone and just want something high-quality and affordable, it would make the decision easier.
Your local Powell handyman is a professional floor specialist who has done multiple floors for Powell homeowners and nearby communities—from hardwood to tile, vinyl to laminate. The main factor to keep in mind is the room or area. For example, your bathroom would benefit more from tile flooring, whereas your bedroom or home office would be more open to other floor types. Each type has its own unique characteristics and is able to handle more traffic and impact than others unless you care more about the aesthetic appeal. Some types are similar to each other in regards to looks and functionality, such as:
- Solid wood vs. engineered wood
- Vinyl vs. laminate
- Natural stone vs. granite
- Tile vs. sheet vinyl
But choosing the right flooring type matters! If someone in the family walks like an elephant or you have kids jumping up and down all day long, you might benefit from hardwood or porcelain tile in high-traffic areas. Overall, feel free to gather all your questions for your local handyman. Powell TN homeowners will be surprised about the pros and cons of the different floor types.
DOOR INSTALLATION OR REPAIR
Even doors will eventually meet their life expectancy at some point, ranging from 30 to 50 years, depending on the type and maintenance it receives. That said, your corresponding door casings will require frequent attention and inspection from your local Powell handyman to stay in shape. It’s not unusual for anyone to slam doors to prove a point, but it’s important to remember that slamming not only affects the door frame but the wall and ceiling. The casing and other trim areas are prone to cracks or gaps. If your door has suffered from wear and tear and the finish looks worn, you should inspect it for wood rot or other signs of damage. Human error surely contributes to issues, along with severe weather conditions, intruders, and pests. After all, we care about your privacy, safety, and insulation system in Powell. Whether wood, metal, or PVC, your door needs periodic care, such as refinishing, repainting, or recoating.
Door installations require certain expertise, where you must be precise and think outside the box. We recommend Powell DIY professionals who strictly follow manufacturers' instructions to inspect all the materials provided. Unfortunately, they rarely provide buyers with quality screws, and we recommend switching them out entirely to corrosion-resistant stainless steel, along with extra ones. If all that is too much, feel free to call your local handyman. Powell TN property owners will experience a hassle-free installation process, where we only use high-quality material that ensures safety and longevity.
Powell Pet Door Installation
Perhaps you’ve experienced your dog chewing on fancy baseboard moldings or even scratching on your expensive oak door because they are anxious or need to go to the bathroom. If your pet sitter lets you down at the last minute, having a pet door could give you peace of mind. Whether you have a screened-in porch or a solid wood door, our dedicated Knoxville handyman will help you with the desired pet door installation. Our service professionals offer to install a flexible pet flap or an electronic and automatic flap that works with an ultrasonic pet collar.
Note: We care about your pets, too, and will help ensure that you have a safe fence system in the backyard that will ensure they won’t run away.
