Property owners in Las Colinas are exceptionally busy because they want to live up to their community’s name and status. Whether you’re a homeowner or business owner, you are most likely a full-time worker who has a family to care for. This is similar to business owners and other professionals who have to manage their workflow and endless meetings and paperwork. Many people in this situation rely on skilled handyman service to meet their needs.
In the back of your mind, you may be thinking about installing a new countertop for the kitchen or fixing the slamming door that always startles your employees because they sit right next to it. Or is your family complaining about cold drafts at home, but you haven’t had time to check your attic insulation? Those are all reasons to hire a professional Las Colinas handyman.
Home improvement and maintenance chores will only add up if you don’t deal with them right away. Nobody likes having a guilty conscience, especially if people close to you are affected by it. Continuously slamming doors will eventually cause cracks in the walls and damage the floor. A damaged windowsill or a misaligned door could potentially compromise your home’s insulation system. If you hire a local Las Colinas handyman, they will have it all fixed in a day.
ATTIC INSULATION
If your home’s energy efficiency is compromised, but your doors and windows appear to be fine, your attic insulation will need your attention. When it’s clean and dry, it will circulate cool fresh air through your home in the summer and maintain heat in the winter. Although you may not go up to the attic much, there are still some telltale signs you should know about that could hint toward deteriorating attic insulation in your Las Colinas home.
- Overworking HVAC system
- High energy bills
- Drafty rooms
- Wood rot
- Moisture damage
- Old insulation
Good-quality attic insulation can last for many decades. Still, to ensure immaculate performance, our experts at Mr. Handyman of Arlington, Mansfield and Grapevine recommend replacing attic insulation every 15 to 20 years.
Since Las Colinas does get cooler winter weather, you must have secure insulation systems. Your certified handyman is happy to help if you need more information about spray foams or cotton denim insulation and preventative solutions like hurricane straps, ties and clip installations on roof trusses.
GUTTER CLEANING
Las Colinas homeowners dread the idea of gutter cleaning, and we don’t blame you for avoiding this grimy task. But that doesn’t mean you should forget about it, even though most people tend to overlook this important home maintenance service. Because Las Colinas get seasonal rainfall in the early summer and late fall, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year.
If your ladder does not pass its routine inspection, it will be a safety hazard to use it. Alternatively, your certified and insured handyman is always equipped with a gutter scoop, gloves, safety glasses and a tarp. They’ll happily take this burden off your shoulders. We scoop out debris for a living!
While we’re already up there, we’ll also inspect your gutter’s shape to ensure that you won’t have to worry about leaks that could potentially damage your siding, drywall or structural foundation. Installing gutter guards will also help protect your soffit and fascia and ensure that stormwater will flow away from your home. Hiring a professional gutter cleaning service can save you from lots of problems in the future, especially when you live in a tree-dense area.
ADDITIONAL LAS COLINAS HANDYMAN MAINTENANCE SERVICES
We are versatile technicians who always approach our tasks with optimism, which few handyman companies offer. We aim to be as client-focused as possible, always thriving on being your one-call solution for all the handiwork that needs to be done.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Many issues could be caused by a clogged dryer vent. If your clothes don’t dry at the end of a cycle or your dryer overheats, you must check the ventilation hose and clear out the lint. As a highly combustible substance, it can easily cause fires. According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, over 15,000 house fires are caused by clogged dryer vents.
Pro Tip: Do-it-yourselfers can easily clean their dryer vents using a vacuum hose to suck out the lint inside the ducts. For a thorough cleaning, remove the vent cover outside and collect any remaining lint. A skilled Las Colinas handyman can also get the job done for you.
