Suppose you are a property owner with a list of maintenance chores you’re struggling to complete. In that case, you are certainly not alone. Unfortunately, any neglected task will haunt you in the form of warning signs. For example, if your family has been complaining about cold drafts in the house, that could be linked to deteriorating attic insulation or damaged window trim. Or, if you still haven’t installed that pet door for your senior dog that needs frequent bathroom trips, then you could find yourself getting up at all hours of the night to let Rufus out. Feeling overwhelmed? We don’t blame you. Relieve that stress by hiring District Heights handyman services.
District Heights property owners are exceptionally busy because they want to have a healthy social life while working hard. As a homeowner, you likely work full-time and have a family to care for. Likewise, as a business owner, you have to manage daily operations, attend meetings, and train employees. We know life can get very busy, and your property maintenance often falls by the wayside. That's why we offer this list of maintenance services to facilitate your busy life:
TRIM INSTALLATION
Did you know that horizontal lines have a tranquil effect on our eyes, similar to watching the sunrise or sunset? Trim is a crucial part of your home and offers the same peaceful qualities by tying your house together. Besides making hallways and rooms look tidy and safe, baseboards hide ugly gaps and imperfections caused by drywall and floor installation. Baseboards also protect floors and drywall from water damage. Door casings and window sills serve a similar purpose. These fixtures cover any gaps and spaces between drywall and frames. They also protect your home from drafts. As trim installation requires precision, you can count on our District Heights handyman service to install it right the first time.
Keep in mind that a trim repair or upgrade could boost your home's resale value, whether you install new crown moldings or door frames. While new trim within your home will give you a satisfying feeling, it will even be more pleasing to the eye of a potential buyer.
Additionally, you may experience instances where your walls don't match your floor. Baseboards can eliminate this clash by evening out a lack of harmony. Another aesthetic option is to add decorative baseboard corners near staircases. However, this might not be ideal for a busy household with kids and pets. Instead, consider adding aesthetic details to your crown moldings and mantels instead!
Trim material types include:
- Engineered wood
- Wood
- MDF
- Vinyl
- PVC
- Metal
- Polyurethane
GUTTER CLEANING
Gutters are designed to protect your roof system, siding, and your home's foundation by diverting stormwater. Gutters become clogged over time due to debris accumulation or bird nests, depending on how many trees grow on or near your property. There are many benefits of keeping your gutters clean, but that doesn’t mean District Heights homeowners enjoy the idea of gutter cleaning—and we don’t blame you.
If you are on top of your gutter cleaning routine and prefer doing it yourself, we recommend that you take in your ladder for regular inspections—ideally every three to six months. Chances are it has been in the garage or shed for too long and might have gotten rusty. This could increase the risk of the ladder breaking and causing an accident.
But guess who is insured, always equipped with a gutter scoop, gloves, safety glasses, and a certified ladder? That's right, your local handyman. District Heights homeowners can safely lean back and let our technicians take this burden off their shoulders. We'll also inspect your gutter and downspouts' condition to ensure that you won't have to worry about leaks that could potentially damage your roof system, siding, or structural foundation. Hiring a professional gutter cleaning service can prevent problems in the future, as we take proactive measures to protect your house's exterior. We also offer gutter guard installation and downspout extension services.
