Skilled Handyman Severn, MD

There are several kinds of drywall damage, and for the untrained eye, they can be exceptionally difficult to catch and even repair. Luckily, our Severn handyman experts specialize in repairing a wide range of drywall damage, including:

• Cracks. Whether caused by improper installation, the natural settling of your home, or foundation damage, when cracks occur, you need them inspected and repaired promptly. Because cracks can be a sign of a more serious issue, it is important to call a professional handyman to inspect your interior walls.
• Wear and tear. Daily wear and tear can show up in the form of dents, scratches, and holes in your drywall. Whether from accidental impact or improper hanging of pictures or TVs, drywall isn't the world's most durable material and shows damage easily. Let us help restore your drywall to flawless condition.
• Doorknob holes. When you swing a door back, or it flies open from a gust, there's a good chance it will hit your wall. When it does, it can have a significant impact, leaving a hole in your wall. Whether you have just one site of damage or numerous holes in the walls around your house, we can help. Repairing holes quickly will prevent pests and dust from entering through your walls. We may also recommend installing door stoppers to prevent this issue from recurring. 
• Water damage. Leaks and high humidity levels can affect your drywall. If a leak springs behind your wall in an area where it is unprimed and unpainted, it will soak into the wall easily and appear on the other side as a discolored, mushy patch. The repair process for water damage involves cutting away the affected section and applying a patch. Addressing any plumbing issues at the first sight of damage is crucial, as it will prevent the damage from spreading and potentially causing mold or wood rot.
• Small and large holes. Games of indoor catch gone wrong, moving furniture, and hanging TVS improperly can cause holes of all sizes. Whether yours is the size of a pinprick or a football, a quick patch job will cover it up. To do it, we'll need to cut a square around the hole. If there are just a few nails or pin holes, all that may be needed is some drywall mud. In either case, we'll sand down the replaced section, prime it, and paint it so that it matches your existing wall completely.
• Vermin and pest damage. Because drywall is made from paper, pests love to eat it, while others make it their home. If mysterious holes are appearing across your drywall, calling for an inspection is key. If we do find pests, we can recommend the name of a trusted exterminator to resolve the issue.

When it comes to professional carpentry services in Severn, you have a world of options. However, if your home lacks any carpentry elements or requires a significant upgrade, it can be challenging to know where to start. When it comes to carpentry, some elements never go out of style. That's why we encourage you to reach out for:

• Crown Molding: An ornamental feature at the top of your walls that adds flair and value. This feature comes in a variety of classic and modern styles.
• Shelving and bookcases: Storage solutions don't have to stand out, but they can also stand out more if you want them to. Built-ins, floating shelves, and custom mantels are just some of your options.
• Molding and trim painting: Adding color to the smaller border features of your walls is tedious. The best option is usually to paint before installation, but you can still paint existing features.
• Wainscoting: A wall paneling style that adds depth and dimension to the lower areas of walls to create a more interesting appearance. This feature also offers a minor protective benefit by adding a layer of material over the existing wall, but its primary purpose is decorative.

Our handyman in Severn will work closely with you to ensure that each element is perfectly aligned with your vision. Our efficient team uses the highest-quality tools and materials for carpentry, ensuring long-lasting durability and aesthetic appeal.

When your door is in disrepair, it's almost as if you don't have one at all. When your door is malfunctioning, your home's safety, energy efficiency, and curb appeal are at risk. Exterior doors have to withstand a range of weather conditions that can expedite the wearing-out process. That's why you can call us for door repair. Our local professionals possess a deep understanding of the local climate and its impact on the integrity of exterior doors. Call us to repair door issues, including:

• Cracks. With constant slamming and gusts, your doors sure do take a beating. Excessive wear and tear can cause cracks, but more than likely, your door is cracking due to expansion and contraction. As wood absorbs moisture and dries, it expands and then contracts. When it does, it will crack. Some cracks can be filled with epoxy, while others call for a complete door replacement.
• Warping. Moisture is a wooden door's worst enemy. It also causes doors to warp. This is one of the reasons we recommend frequent re-staining and painting — to protect it from moisture. If your door is warped, it may not shut properly or completely seal. This leaves your home susceptible to break-ins as warped doors may not fully close or lock. 
• Broken hardware. The hardware on your doors, including the hinges, knobs, and locks, all have their limits. Hinges are commonly replaced since they bear the entire weight of your door. If your door was installed incorrectly, excess pressure may have been applied to one of the hinges, causing it to fail and break. As for knobs and locks, you will get around a decade of use, depending on the type. You should replace knobs and locks to prevent them from wearing out and leaving your home vulnerable to unwanted guests.
• Wood rot. Affecting wooden doors only, if you have composite wood, you won't have to worry about this pesky problem. Whether you have solid wood or hollow-core doors, wood rot is a possibility. What's worse, some types of rot spread quickly and can travel across non-wooden surfaces and into your home. Inspect your entry doors regularly and look out for crumbly textures, white or orange colors, or stringy pieces. If we catch wood rot early enough, all that will be required is a quick removal and filling.

Yes, permits are required for structural changes, electrical, plumbing, and complex remodels. However, when the repairs or improvements are simple, such as painting or drywall patches, a permit is not required. But when you work with our Severn handyman or any home improvement contractor, you won't have to deal with the tedious paperwork alone. Our service professionals can assist you and ensure compliance with local regulations and safety codes.
