Here's more info about a few of our most requested residential services in your area:
Drywall Repair
Drywall is found in homes across the state and is praised for its affordable and easy-to-install nature. While it's a prime choice for your walls and ceilings, it's not the most durable material in the world and can be damaged rather easily. Damaged walls and ceilings can cause some big problems for homeowners if they're not fixed by an experienced handyman. Ann Arbor buildings can even lose energy efficiency due to holes and cracks in drywall.
Here's a look at some of the most common types of problems we handle with drywall repair:
- Holes: Drywall isn’t always durable. Holes can occur for a number of reasons, usually caused by impact or pests. Your drywall may have experienced an accident on moving day or the house foundation has settled.
- Cracks: Cracks may occur due to incorrectly installed drywall, but they may also be a sign of foundation damage. If you also notice holes in the trim around your walls, doors, and windows, you should call for a professional inspection right away.
- Water Damage: Leaks and high humidity can damage your drywall. Since the material is made with what is essentially paper, it doesn't hold up well against any type of moisture. Water damage is commonly found in the bathroom, resulting from the high moisture levels in the air. Remember to stay on top of priming and painting bathroom walls and ceilings to prevent this from occurring.

Deck Repair
Your deck is a place you go to relax, but when it's dirty or has loose boards, wobbly posts, and the like, it may turn into an area you find yourself stressing about. Our deck repair service can address these issues to ensure your outdoor space is one you can enjoy. Besides repairs by a qualified handyman, Ann Arbor residents can also count on us for seasonal maintenance services, such as pressure washing, sanding, and restaining the deck.
Wood Rot Repair
In Michigan, wood rot is prevalent. That means you need to be extra careful about the wooden structures and surfaces around your home. With the possibility of white rot, brown rot, and soft rot, you may see off-colored, crumbly, or stringy sections of the wood inside and outside of your home. That’s especially true if it has been exposed to moisture.
To prevent wood rot, stay on top of regular staining or painting of wooden structures such as your deck, window sills, trim, crown molding, fence posts, and any exposed interior beams—or get it taken care of by a reliable handyman. Ann Arbor gets plenty of moisture, and that means rot can spread rather quickly, so it's also a good idea to have your home inspected regularly to catch it early.

Kitchen Remodeling
Remodeling your kitchen can help increase the functionality of the space. With the right services from a skilled handyman, it can become a place where you actually want to spend time.
Here are some of the ways our team can transform your kitchen:
- Countertop Installation: Are you tired of looking at the scratched-up, stained countertops in your kitchen? Let us help by installing a brand-new surface made from your preferred material. Popular options such as marble and quartz lend a luxury look, while ceramic or porcelain tile are both affordable and attractive.
- Backsplash Installation: Adding a backsplash to the wall behind your kitchen counters will instantly elevate your space. If your kitchen is a neutral color, consider choosing a colorful or patterned backsplash to add some variation. Popular backsplash materials include porcelain, ceramic, glass, or natural stone such as limestone and granite.
Bathroom Remodeling
Many bathrooms tend to be outdated and could use some freshening up. Switching up your tile floor, shower wall tile, or adding a backsplash can transform the look of the room. Other options for this improvement project include replacing fixtures in your sink and shower, installing custom shelving for storage, hanging a new mirror, installing a vanity, and much more.
The great thing about bathroom remodeling projects is that they don't have to cost a fortune. You may be surprised to find the difference a few small swaps can make when you're working with a skilled handyman. Give us a call today to find out what's possible for your space.
