Most people have a hectic and busy schedule with not a lot of time for much else. There is work, school, sports and family time and in between all of that you are supposed to work in repairs, maintenance and much more. American families are busier than ever and it seems that homes are finding less time to give to the upkeep. This means that a light may be out longer, a dripping faucet goes ignored, a hole in the drywall goes unaddressed or a shelf stays broken. What is it that you can do to keep up your schedule and still get these things done? A service that is often overlooked is a handyman service. This is a general maintenance worker that has experience is lots of different areas that can come in and get your “Honey Do” list knocked out in no time. Make sure that you hire someone that is licensed and insured and you know that you can trust them. JBS Custom Remodeling lists some of the tasks a handyman can take care of for you.
Light Up Your Home
Most rooms are not run off of a single light. There is normally a series of lights that if one bulb happens to go out the others will still give off enough light for the room. It is pretty simple to change out a light bulb but it just means that you need to find the time. It can also be tricky if you have a high ceiling that will require a ladder or extension pole to replace the light. The handyman can bring all the tools he needs including the lights and make the changes for you. In addition, a handyman can install ceiling fans and add additional lighting as needed.
Fix Dripping Faucets
Do you have a faucet that seems to dripping non stop? This not only can be an annoyance but can actually be costing you money. The water that drips out is costing you money on your water bill one drip at a time and wasting water. A handyman service can take care of many small plumbing repairs and do some general maintenance to help prevent future plumbing problems.
Change Air Filter & Seal Home
Your AC unit seems to be struggling to work or cool down a room? It could be because of the filter! If the filter is full of dirt and dust it will stop the circulation of air and cause less to be returned to the unit to be cooled down. This means that it has to work harder to do the same job. A handyman can come out and replace the filters on a monthly basis since this is the recommendation from HVAC manufacturers. Another reason your AC could be struggling this summer is because the cool air is leaking out. A handyman can caulk any gaps around windows, doors and other exterior openings.
Drywall Repair & Touch Up Paint
This is one area that is never caught up on a list. Stopping to set up and pulling the paint out just never seems like the right time and if there is drywall damage such as a hole or bulge – painting over it isn’t going to fix it. A handyman can address drywall damage and get paint to match your wall color and make the repairs for you.
Gutter Cleaning
You can also add gutter cleaning and maintenance to the list of ways that a handyman can take some of the items off your list. Many handyman services have the ability to pressure wash gutters and get them clean and cleared out or any debris. If there are any repairs to the gutters around your home that need to be done the handyman can make sure that they are done correctly.
