Vacation Week!!

This will be one of the busiest weeks of the year for AirBnB's/STR's in Lincoln and Woodstock. If you need maintenance/repair projects completed, or if your guests are having problems, I can help! My handyman service (Linwood Fixit) is a one-call service for all your small maintenance needs in Lincoln and Woodstock. (603) 728-5149

Little issues lead to poor reviews and fewer rentals. Toilet and faucet problems, lights that are not working, smoke/CO detectors, towel-rods, thresholds, thermostats... small issues that can turn into big maintenance problems.

I am responsive, do good work, and present a professional appearance (if you need me to meet the customer or do work while they're present).

Now is a great time to do upgrades... how about your thermostats? Control and monitor the temperature, remotely. Let the thermostat learn and automatically adjust temperatures to save you money.

Nest thermostats are designed to be easy to install, but there are some nuances that are only learned through experience. I have installed many of them them on multiple types of heating/cooling systems.
.. And Linwood Fixit is now officially certified as a Google Nest Certified Pro!

Call or email to schedule, today!

Snap!

We only think of a toilet when there’s a problem with one… like when the handle snaps. Then, it is *very* important! If you have a problem with toilets running non-stop, not flushing properly, or if the handle snaps off… just give a call! Linwood Fixit

Let there be light!

It’s easy to ignore a burned out light bulb. How about 35? I was called to do some projects at a beautiful rental property on Loon. I was surprised to find 35 bulbs were out; some easy to reach, and some not-so-much. Replaced with long-life (13 year) bulbs, so it won’t be a problem again for a loooong time! Call Linwood Fixit to solve all your home (or rental) maintenance issues.

Happiness is a new Kitchen Sink and Faucet

It couldn't be easier to upgrade your experience in your kitchen... just a quick call and I can help you select a sink and faucet. Maybe a deeper sink? A single-basin sink? Pull-out spout for washing pans? All can be done with a simple call! Call or message Linwood Fixit

When was the last time you ever had your dryer vent cleaned? I suspect the answer is “never!”

Dryer vents are something that no one thinks about. But you should: There are about 14,000 home fires a year that start in dryer vents, all because no one thinks to clean or maintain it.
Surprisingly, the dryer vent system is complicated, and many homes have poor (and out of code) dryer vent systems. As a Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician (CDET), I know how to inspect them, quantify their performance, clean them, repair them, and (if needed) replace them.

For most homes, it will take between 1 and 2 hours and will not be messy (your home will be cleaner than when I started). Drop me an email, text, or call, and schedule your cleaning, today!

Lincoln NH Short-term rentals

I spoke with a number of clients that run short-term-rentals in Lincoln. There is a web-page with info about registering them with the town: https://www.lincolnnh.org/short-term-rental-department-all-you-need-to-know

Additionally, there is an informational hearing on 10 Jan 2024 about possible changes:

On August 23, 2023, a majority of the Planning Board (Paul Beaudin, Jim Spanos, and Joe Chenard) voted against having any discussion related to adding any new restrictions Short Term Rentals (like AirBnb) to the Town’s Land Use Plan Ordinance.
The Town of Lincoln Board of Selectmen have heard MANY local residents complain about the number of residential houses that are being converted to short term rental units and how this has a negative effect on the neighborhood and the Town.
The Board believes this is an issue the Town’s voters should decide, not three members of the Planning Board. In order to allow the residents of Lincoln to weigh in on this proposal, the Board of Selectmen have drafted a proposed amendment on this issue to be placed on the Town Warrant for a vote in March.
The proposed amendment to the Town’s Land Use Plan Ordinance would limit short term rentals to the General Use, Village Center, and Mountain Residential zones. It would not allow any further short term rentals to be established in the General Residential, Village Residential, or Rural Residential Zones.
In addition, the proposal adds further requirements and regulations that address noise, parking, and overcrowding. As required by State law, all existing registered Short Term Rental units will be grandfathered.
The Planning Board will hold a public hearing on this proposed ordinance on Wednesday, January 10 at 6:00 pm.
Residents and taxpayers are encouraged to come to these hearings, learn about the proposed ordinance, ask questions, and express their opinions.

Built a set of insulated wooden shutters for a local homeowner, to keep a crawlspace from freezing up. Removable, for better ventilation in Summer.

Many homeowners can use a Linwood Fixit's Handyman service... but vacation/second home-owners *really* need our Handyman services...

A second home should be a refuge from the stress and challenges of daily life, not a burden that increases your blood pressure. We’ve seen it, before: you’re just about to leave, and a faucet won’t shut off; a toilet keeps running, or the heater doesn’t turn on. You need to get back to your ...
