DOOR REPAIR AND INSTALLATION
Does your bedroom door squeak, disturbing the rest of your family whenever you use it at night? Can you feel a chilly draft when you walk past your entryway? While the former is an annoyance, the latter may unknowingly contribute to your rising energy bills.
Regardless of the type of issue you’re experiencing with your interior and exterior doors, our handyman team has the carpentry knowledge to make both complex and common door repairs.
Our first course of action will always be to repair your existing entryway, but in some cases, it may be in your best interest to have the entire unit replaced. The ideal course of action will largely depend on the type of damage that has occurred. Some possible types of damage include:
- Wood rot. Slabs and/or trim made from wood are susceptible to wood rot. Wood must be regularly maintained with paint or sealants to protect the wood fibers from moisture, but over time, sealing products can deteriorate and flake. When moist wood develops rot, it loses its structural integrity and warps. When this happens to any component of your entryway system, you may end up with a door that sticks or is loose. When this occurs with an exterior door, warm and cold air can infiltrate your home and force your HVAC system to work harder.
- House shifting. New builds in particular are susceptible to shifting and settling. Though this is a normal process, even the slightest movement can cause a perfectly measured and installed doorway to become misaligned, causing your door slab to drag on the ground, fail to latch, squeak and much more.
- Malfunctioning hardware. Over time, your door’s hardware can come loose. This includes nails, screws and hinges. Readjustment or replacement solves most hardware problems.
- Cosmetic damage. Whether your cat used your door as a scratching post or a collision with a heavy piece of furniture left a massive hole, our handyman team can repair any cosmetic damage you have or suggest replacement options.
Need door replacement instead of repair? We can install both pre-hung and slab doors in your home. A pre-hung door comes in a package with a frame, hinges and slab, all of which are already connected. This makes them a great option for entryways that do not yet have trim installed, such as a recently remodeled space with a new entryway or an exterior door that needs the frame and slab to be perfectly flush to prevent drafts.
Slab doors are recommended for interior entryways that already have door frames. These include hollow-core slab doors, sliding barn doors, pocket doors, bifold doors and more.
TILE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
If you need tile installed in your home, you need the help of a handyman. Cedar Hills, UT has hot summers but cold winters, making tile undesirable throughout an entire home. That being said, it’s a great option for kitchens and bathrooms due to being low maintenance and water-resistant or waterproof, depending on the material used.
One of the reasons that tile installation is so frequently requested of a handyman in Cedar Hills, UT is due to how difficult it is not just to install but also to dispose of it. When we’re called to a home to install tile, we’re also often asked to remove and dispose of the old tile or flooring. Following the removal process, we’ll assess your floor’s underlayment and subfloor to determine whether additional repairs or leveling is needed. The key to a professional tile installation is to ensure the subfloor is in great condition first.
Once the underlayment is prepared, we’ll apply a layer of thinset. This must dry for a specific amount of time before laying tiles. It must be partially dried, but not so dry that the tile does not adhere to it. We’ll install any tile you want, whether it be floor tiles, wall tiles or backsplash. Some of the types of tile we’ve installed in the past include:
- Ceramic
- Porcelain
- Mosaic
- Marble
- Slate
- Cork
- Vinyl
- And others!
Once the tiles have been cut, laid and spaced, we’ll apply grout. After it has begun to cure, we’ll use a damp sponge to smooth the grout lines, as well as clean up the ‘grout haze,’ or the hazy film left on top of your tiles. Grout application may be followed with grout sealing, depending on the type of tile and grout chosen.
Though we don’t order tile for our customers, we’re more than happy to advise you on what type of tile we think would work best for your space. The choice is ultimately yours, but if you’re new to home improvement projects, asking an expert handyman in Cedar Hills, UT isn’t a bad way to go.
