Drywall Repair
Drywall repair is one of those tasks that's not typically very high up on a homeowner's priority list. Messy jobs like that should be left to your local handyman. New Canaan, CT property owners whose drywall has unsightly cosmetic issues like holes, scuffs, cracks, and water stains tend to assume they don't really have a huge impact on the comfort and function of a building. Unfortunately, that's not the case.
Drywall isn't the most noticeable or exciting building material, we'll give you that, but it can have some unpleasant effects on your residential or commercial property when it has suffered damage, such as:
- Reduction of noise separation between rooms
- Structural damage that can threaten the stability of the building
- Encouraging rodent and insect infestations
- Decreasing the energy efficiency of your building, which raises your energy costs on your utility bill because your HVAC system has to use more energy to keep your building at the temperature set on your thermostat
- Reducing fire protection for your home or commercial property
- Encouraging moisture buildup inside your walls, which is damaging to your building and also poses a health hazard
Reduced efficiency from damaged walls is the main reason why drywall repair is one of the handyman services that save money on energy costs. With timely drywall service from a local New Canaan handyman, you won't ever worry about any of the problems listed above. Our drywall experts will take care of every part of the drywall repair process, including removing old drywall, joint taping, mudding, and sanding. We'll refinish the wall so the repair is completely invisible, and we'll even rehang your framed photos and curtains for the finishing touches.
Drywall repair is a messy job—even for a handyman—New Canaan, CT, residents worry about plasterboard dust, but we have it under control; we'll take steps to make sure the mess doesn't spread and get everything cleaned up when we're done to make sure we are leaving your home in better condition than we found it.
But there's more to it than just the actual repair, and this is why it's so useful to have a multi-skilled, reliable handyman on your side. Sometimes you know exactly what caused the damage to your drywall—a naughty pet or careless furniture mover, for example. Other times, you don't have any idea what could have caused the problem. It may have been improper ventilation in a humid room, damaged siding on the exterior affecting the inside, or any number of issues.
If you are not sure where drywall damage originated, we will trace it to its source and make sure that it gets fixed up as well, so you don't need to worry that you'll be dealing with more drywall damage again in a few weeks or months.
New Canaan Gutter Cleaning
The trees and abundant foliage of New Canaan are among the fine features that make it one of Connecticut's most beautiful places to live, but they do have one downside—they fill up your rain gutters with leaves in no time flat. A local New Canaan handyman could help with that.
Most homeowners aren't exactly thrilled by the thought of climbing a wobbly ladder to spend hours scooping handfuls of rotting muck out of their gutters, and that's completely understandable. It's a dirty, time-consuming, difficult chore that can be pretty much impossible if you're not willing or able to climb a ladder. Luckily, you have a qualified handyman.
New Canaan, CT, homeowners know that their gutters serve a critically important function in protecting their home by collecting rainwater from the roof and funneling it away from the house where it can't do any harm. That may not sound very impressive, but let's do the math: just one inch of rain on a 1,000-square-foot roof produces 620 gallons of water. New Canaan has a rainy climate, so you get an average of about 52 inches of rain annually. That means 32,240 gallons of water fall on your house every year, or much more if you have a larger roof.
If your gutters are crammed full of dead leaves, animal nests, dirt, and other debris, all that water will have nowhere to go and simply pour out of the gutter and down the exterior walls of your home instead. Those sheets of water raining down on walls will leave them vulnerable to moisture damage, which can be extremely expensive and time-consuming to repair. With help from a reputable New Canaan handyman, you won't have to worry about that problem.
Overflowing, broken gutters can cause severe problems, such as:
- Leaking roofs
- Damaged fascia boards and soffits
- Stained, warped siding
- Moisture damage inside walls
- Rotting window frames and door jambs
- Cracked foundations
- Damaged landscaping
- Deteriorated walkways and driveways
Not only will your local New Canaan handyman get your gutters sparkling clean, but they’ll also include repairs for any breaks or weak points. We even install gutter guards to stop gutters from filling up so fast and keep them working correctly for a long time to come.
