Drywall repair…this was as a result of a semi trailer backing into a warehouse wall. Doah!! Maybe not a semi trailer, but a doorknob might be more relatable for the rest of us.

If it happens, give me a call, I can help.

Fence gate replacement! Was called to replace this gate because the homeowners couldn’t even open it. Installed all new redwood framework and pickets. The gate now hinges on both the right and left sides so the entire side gate pictured opens up…you could pull a full sized car into the side yard now.

Big takeaway is putting a wheel on the larger sized gate. This provides much needed support so the gate doesn’t sag over time.

Fireplace renovation!! Pulled out a wood burning unit and replaced it with an electric unit. Homeowner was able to pick out the new firebox, tile and grout. Think they made a great choice. A much safer option for the little ones!!

I’m asked a lot of if I do small jobs…it doesn’t matter the size of the job to me. Is it on your list of projects that need to get done, but just can’t get to it? Then yes, I do the small jobs too.

I do jobs of all sizes…shoot me a text, I can help!!

Shelves were on the agenda today! Homeowner just moved into a new home, and yes, you guessed it…closet needed more storage shelves. Homeowner opted to paint the finished product themselves to save money.

Also hung some floating shelves.

Make sure that level is dialed in!!!

I get calls a lot about electricians and plumbers doing work for homeowners. The main complaint is that these contractors don’t fix the holes they create throughout the process of fixing the problem. Plumbers and electricians have to open walls to fix problems…it’s just part of the process. Don’t be angry at them for having to destroy drywall to fix the problem they were called in for. Just know that you can call on me to come in behind them, fix the drywall so it looks like nothing ever happened.

Been super busy!! Haven’t had enough time to post regularly…I’ll get back on the bandwagon!! Small jobs filled the week. Rehung a crooked TV, hung several curtain rods, smoke dectors and batteries, HVAC air filters, and list goes on.

Working on several big projects…exciting ones that you’ll want to stay tuned!!

Below shows a homeowner concerned about preventing nasty grams from the HOA…understandable! Even though it’s winter, pick and choose days to get those small painting jobs taken care of, and the HOA off your back!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Half bath renovation was on the docket last week.

Demoed outdated tile flooring and removed the old non-functioning exhaust fan. Installed a new Panasonic exhaust fan, painted walls, new baseboards, new vanity, new light fixture, new LVP flooring…great look!! Such an improvement.

🤦🤦 If you don’t know what you’re doing, hire someone who does. Customer paid good money to have this railing system installed by someone else. Obviously they didn’t know what they were doing. Just a terrible installation. There were some support posts that needed help as well…those will probably have to be addressed at some point soon.

Who let the dogs out….themselves!!! Sorry, had to do it. I don’t like the song, but it gets the message across. 😂. Give those fur babies the ability to do their duties when they need to, not on your schedule! Just be mindful of them being out unsupervised…dogs barking with the neighbors, etc (we’ve all been there…and some of us still are there 😂🤦).

Living Room feature wall! Nice updates were chosen for this remodel. My apologies for the last picture as the surround for the fireplace was removed before I could snap a final picture…oh well. With the other pictures, you kinda get the idea. New built in cabinets, LED lit floating shelves, new stone and hearth. Homeowners will be replacing the carpets next. Great look!!!
