A Handyman (like me, a licensed contractor) can help you install your design ideas with confidence!

When looking at new homes, home buyers with high expectations can sometimes feel disappointed with their options. In a world where wood paneling, blue bathtubs, and wallpaper in every room have been popular trends it can feel like a lot of houses on the market are eyesores.

Why hire a professional Handyman?

Typically nothing slows down a job more, than not having the right materials and tools to do the work. The reason the pros can do what they do is that they have experience, skills and knowledge necessary to perform the job.

Sometimes you’ll see homeowners or novices (unknowingly) purchase inferior products.

So to end up right, you need to start out right. Help yourself by researching the project, supplies and tools needed to accomplish the job for your home improvement.

Otherwise, hire an experienced professional.

Todays tip: Shower head cleaning maintenance tips, if they show mold or mildew.
*Household Items needed: vinegar, ziploc type bag and an elastic.
*Instructions: Put the elastic up on the shower head arm, put enough vinegar in the zip lock type bag, which will cover the shower head once you put it up onto the shower head and secure it with the elastic, let the shower head soak in the vinegar for 5-10 minutes. When you remove the bag, you can either wipe the shower head with a sponge/paper towel or use an old toothbrush to remove any remaining mold or mildew.
