I’ve been so busy lately I haven’t had time to post any recent pictures! Here’s a little fence repair. A tree had fallen through one section of fence and the gate was missing from the other side.
This was an interesting repair because the fence pickets had to be custom made out of 5/4 deck boards to match the original! Thats one heavy fence!!!

This little bird on the vent pipe of this home is happy and singing a song! Likely inviting their mate or friends over to their nice comfy home located in this home's dryer vent! There's a lot of "evidence" around that dryer vent alluding to the bird's new home inside. Let me help you send an eviction notice to these intruders and clean out the potentially hazardous evidence they've left inside your home! I've added a "call now" button for easy booking!

I’ve seen a lot of these in the neighborhood lately. Broken vent covers that allow birds to get inside. This can cause unpleasant odors, fire hazards, and even health concerns from bacteria and mites. This picture is from a repair I did yesterday. Along with re-screening a patio door and repairing a broken floodlight under the roof eave while up there. Shoot me a message if you need some repairs made! This was an inexpensive fix and will save the homeowner money in pest damages and maybe even the health of them and their families.

You probably weren't thinking about how dirty your water heater might be this morning when you were in the shower. Most people don't think about their water heater until they have no hot water. By then it's usually too late.
The most common cause of early water heater failure is rust and sediment build up. As your hot water tank holds water, the mineral deposits in the water sink to the bottom. Over time, this can build up into what you see here. Even a little buildup can cause your water heater to become inefficient. Let that go and the sediment and rust will kill your water heater all together.
Do you have a funky smell in your water just briefly when you first turn the faucet on? This could literally be a bacterial slime that has built up on the bottom of your tank, or a bad anode rod.
Anode rods are located inside your water heater and are made of sacrificial elements like zinc or magnesium. This rod attracts the minerals in your water to prevent those minerals from destroying your tank (picture 3).
Water heaters are supposed to be flushed out every year and anode rods should be replaced every two to three years! When was yours last serviced?
Spending a little now can save you a whole lot if your water heater fails prematurely. The going price of a home water heater tank right now is about $500-$600! Add that to the price of having a licensed plumber install it, and it could be a very unwelcome surprise.

Message me for an appointment to have your water heater serviced to prevent early failure. Preventive Maintenance is always less expensive than Reactive Repairs.

I do custom walls and paint too! These two photos are feature walls that were done with furring at about 15" on center. Feature walls are a very inexpensive way to add depth and make a wall really stand out in your home or office. On a side note, I also did the laminate flooring in these photos, but I'll make a separate post on those in the future.

Does your house look like this? Reach out today for a quote on getting that pesky mildew removed!
