Floor Installation
If you’ve ever heard of the paradox of choice, you will understand what it’s like to choose the appropriate flooring for your needs. That said, even if you know what you want, you might not be an expert in that area, or it could be the completely wrong choice for your budget and circumstances. This makes finding the right floor system for your new or existing Powell home a headache.
It’s always a good idea to do some research first, calculate your budget, and write down what you want from a new floor installation. What’s suitable for kids or pets? Do you wear slippers or walk barefoot? These are all important criteria that should be part of your decision-making process. It might be too simple to say that you want durable, safe, and cost-effective flooring, but there are many kinds that meet that criteria. Whether you have a family house or a professional's apartment in Powell, each flooring system serves a different purpose. Family homes probably have high-traffic areas where kids run and jump or spill their drinks. Unless you live alone and just want something high-quality and affordable, it would make the decision easier.
Your local Powell handyman is a professional floor specialist who has done multiple floors for homeowners and nearby communities—from hardwood to tile, vinyl to laminate. Some flooring types we can install include:
- Solid wood vs. engineered wood
- Vinyl vs. laminate
- Natural stone vs. granite
- Tile vs. sheet vinyl
Door Installation or Repair
Even doors will eventually meet their life expectancy at some point, ranging from 30 to 50 years, depending on the type and maintenance they receive. That said, your corresponding door casings will require frequent attention and inspection from your local Powell handyman to stay in shape. It’s not unusual for anyone to slam doors to prove a point, but it’s important to remember that slamming not only affects the door frame but also the wall and ceiling. The casing and other trim areas are prone to cracks or gaps. If your door has suffered from wear and tear and the finish looks worn, you should inspect it for wood rot or other signs of damage. Human error surely contributes to issues, along with severe weather conditions, intruders, and pests. After all, we care about your privacy, safety, and insulation system in Powell. Whether wood, metal, or PVC, your door needs periodic care, such as refinishing, repainting, or recoating.
Door installations require certain expertise, where you must be precise and think outside the box. We recommend that DIY professionals strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions to inspect all the materials provided. Unfortunately, they rarely provide buyers with quality screws, and we recommend switching them out entirely to corrosion-resistant stainless steel, along with extra ones. If all that is too much, feel free to call your local handyman. Powell, TN property owners will experience a hassle-free installation process, where we only use high-quality material that ensures safety and longevity.
Pet Door Installation
Perhaps you’ve experienced your dog chewing on fancy baseboard moldings or even scratching on your expensive oak door because they are anxious or need to go to the bathroom. If your pet sitter lets you down at the last minute, having a pet door could give you peace of mind. Whether you have a screened-in porch or a solid wood door, our dedicated Powell handyman will help you with the desired pet door installation. Our service professionals offer to install a flexible pet flap or an electronic and automatic flap that works with an ultrasonic pet collar.
Note: We care about your pets, too, and our Powell handyman pros will help ensure that you have a safe fence system in the backyard that will ensure they won’t run away.
Gutter Cleaning
Cleaning your gutters is quite a chore under the best circumstances, but it might be next to impossible if climbing ladders is your least favorite or if you don’t remember the last time it had an inspection. Unfortunately, our ladders suffer from corrosion over time, affecting the spreaders and rails. A bent step is not always visible either.
A bad idea would be leaving the gutters to fill up with dead leaves, dirt, animal nests, and other debris. If rainwater can’t properly flow down your gutters, all the rain that rolls off your roof will just spill over the sides and pour down the exterior walls. This is damaging to your siding and roofing system and could compromise your house’s overall structural integrity. Anyone who has been forced to deal with moisture problems in their walls knows that’s not the way to go.
The good news is that you can rely on your certified handyman. Powell, TN homeowners aren’t always equipped with a gutter scoop, gloves, safety glasses, and a tarp. Not only do we clean, but we also thoroughly inspect and conduct necessary gutter repairs if we find any broken parts. We’ll also offer to install gutter guards that will help keep them free from large debris and in good working order for a long time to come.
