GREENBELT FLOOR INSTALLATION
Choosing the right floor material for your existing or new home is one of the toughest decisions you will ever make. Have you ever heard that a myriad of choices can paralyze your ability to make decisions? This is the perfect example because even if you know what you want, you might not be an aficionado in that area. Luckily, your local Greenbelt handyman is here to help.
Your local Greenbelt handyman always recommends that you calculate your budget first and write down what you want from a new floor installation. Whether you have a family house or a professional's apartment, it’s important to consider your unique needs, because each flooring system serves a different purpose. Do you wish to install something durable, safe, and cost-effective, or do you just want something high-quality but affordable? Whatever your preferences are, there are options that we can provide.
The main factor to keep in mind is the room or area. For example, your bathroom would benefit more from tile flooring because it’s moisture-resistant, whereas your bedroom or home office would be more flexible for other floor types, from carpet to vinyl. Each type has its own unique characteristics, and some can handle more traffic and impact than others. Here are some examples to think about:
- Solid wood vs. engineered wood
- Vinyl vs. laminate
- Natural stone vs. granite
- Tile vs. Carpet
Choosing the right flooring type matters! Our professional floor installers have done multiple floors for Greenbelt homeowners and nearby communities—from hardwood to tile, vinyl, or laminate. Feel free to gather all your questions for your local handyman. Greenbelt, MD, homeowners can rely on our team to provide the answers—and services—they need.
GUTTER CLEANING
A healthy roofline keeps weather problems at bay. It’s important to ensure that your gutters and downspouts are not clogged by debris.

The good news is, you can rely on your insured, local handyman. Greenbelt, MD, homeowners aren’t always equipped with the necessary tools to get gutter cleaning done right, but our team will come prepared with everything they need to quickly cross this task off your to-do list.
Our team of skilled craftsmen will also inspect your gutter’s shape during your cleaning and give you a full diagnosis of any additional measures you can take to protect it, such as installing gutter guards. This way, you won’t have to worry about potential leaks or other issues that could damage your siding, drywall, or basement floor. These mishaps can lead to serious structural damage and costly repairs. Hiring a local Greenbelt handyman to take care of gutter cleaning can save you from lots of problems in the future. We recommend Greenbelt gutter cleaning at least once a year to avoid issues from debris settling and blocking your downspouts.
TILE AND GROUT REPAIR
If your original tile wall or floor was well-installed the first time, it will last relatively long, unless it suffers from damage due to sudden impacts or other issues. Eventually, all tiles will show signs of wear in grout lines and other areas. Similarly, tile floors with high traffic are susceptible to cracks and chips. There will come a day when you will have to remove old grout or tile to prevent any damage from getting worse.
Replacing cracked, chipped or worn grout might seem like an easy fix, but it requires the correct tools, techniques, and skill for carefully removing old grout without damaging tiles. Over 90 percent of tile installers use cement-based grout, as it is a reliable choice that’s easy to work with. In order to remove it, you’ll need a carbide-tipped scoring tool—and a steady hand.
Another modern favorite for grout repairs is epoxy grout, which is sometimes considered to be superior to its cement-based counterpart. Professionals have praised it for its durability and resistance to stains, cracks, and other chemicals. However, since epoxy dries faster, using it requires precision and expertise.
If you’re dealing with a minor crack in your tile, epoxy is a common choice that works well for repairs, as long as you’re careful not to make mistakes. In the event of a large crack, we recommend removing the broken tile and saving the epoxy grout for later when you regrout. If you’re worried about damaging other tile pieces while working with a hammer and chisel, or making other mistakes, count on your local handyman.
