Remodeling and Renovations
A renovation often breathes new life into a home, freshens the look as well as
remediates or updates any safety and health guidelines not followed from the original
construction.
Home renovations is a way to upgrade your quality of life. It was a way to change out
the old for the new instead of buying new construction and having to deal with the
stress and disruption of moving. Renovating now contributes to adding luxuries in
your home, including home movie theaters, game rooms, bathroom upgrades kitchen
remodeling and master suites. This increases your property values as keeping up
with home trends and real estate prices rocket sky high.
Home renovations often happen room by room. The process is simple on the surface:
imagine, research, draw, budget, take recommendations, hire, construct and
decorate. Then do the same for each room as necessary. Kitchen and bathroom
renovations can be more complex, but once a renovation is broken down into the
necessary tasks, basic projects can be identified, tackled and completed to create a
larger end result.
Homeowners may want to consider moving walls (not load-bearing ones) to expand
the room, installing new cabinets or refinishing original cabinets, making room for new
appliances and organizing each element to optimize the new and improved space.
Permits, moving and refinishing walls, cabinetry work, and flooring installation may
take the typical weekend project and make it affordable and manageable. Handyman
Can completes renovation projects of any size in a professional and timely matter.
Plumbing
Plumbing serves as an integral part of all modern day households. It brings water into
a home, providing convenience. More importantly, perhaps, plumbing serves as
drainage and takes waste away from the home.
Plumbing work is vital that it operates properly to optimize your family’s health and
safety. Like the way most home improvement projects begin, plumbing basics is
sometimes forgotten and the luxury it provides is overlooked until something goes
wrong.
Plumbing projects are often the focus of a repair; a leaking faucet or shower head, a
clogged garbage disposal, a dishwasher that will not drain, or water heater that is not
heating. We take precautionary steps such as annually flushing a water heater to
prevent mineral deposit buildup. This will extend the life of the heater by allowing it to
operate most efficiently. While there are chemical solutions on the market, it is best to
remove clogs from the pipes. Any installation or repair should be done completely to
help insure that future problems will not occur.
Plumbing repairs are often a result of old pipes and building techniques. Installations
and repairs create a big headache along with major inconvenience. Handyman Can
Do It provides an easy solution to any plumbing issue. Handyman Can Do It provides
service solutions for any plumbing problem and can identify and fix future problems
that improper plumbing may cause.
Dishwashers, bathtubs, sinks and showers all rely on proper plumbing. A faulty drain
line or a leaky faucet may seem like minor problems on the surface, but if either is not
fixed correctly, the problem can become a health issue or worse escalate into a major
cost.

Finish & Framing Carpentry
Flooring
Flooring is the foundation of home décor. Flooring comes is a variety of textiles; carpet,
tile, hardwood, laminate, parquet, vinyl and linoleum. Installing carpet takes specialized
tools, a lot of time and is hard on your back and knees. Laying tile leaves the option
open for creativity, designing a basic pattern or a mosaic with different shape and size
tiles. Hardwood floors are most traditional and will last a long time. Parquet, laminate,
vinyl and linoleum are often more affordable options that create a unifying look for the
space. Parquet, laminate, vinyl and linoleum floors usually involve toxic chemicals in
addition to the physically demanding labor used to lay carpet, tile and hardwood.
There are several key steps when installing flooring. The first is correct measurements to
make sure any areas that will need additional pieces of flooring and to account for repeat
patterns, seams align and layout is approved. Secondly, ordering enough quality flooring
to cover the area as well as the correct materials for the specific project glue, padding
and sealant necessary for each flooring type. The next step is to be meticulous in laying
the flooring keeping patterns and grains running in the same direction according to the
layout plan. Supervision of the project to make sure it is coming together correctly and
the final result is the desired one.
While installing flooring is a reasonable project for homeowner to take on, the labor and
precision involved can be overwhelming. Flooring needs to take a lot of abuse and
Handyman Can Do It will install any type of flooring correctly to maximize the use as the
manufacturer recommends. As with every job, Handyman Can Do It will also complete
the clean up involved, which is most likely in itself worth the expense.
Drywall Repair & New Construction Installations
Drywall is a large part of nearly every home and business today, and yet it is something
that most people have little understanding. While drywall is often easily overlooked, one
damaged area or hole in need of drywall repair can completely ruin a room's
appearance. The same thing goes for a drywall finish that was not done correctly,
creating a real eyesore. And reversely, a well done drywall texture can add both depth
and balance to a room.
Drywall is a common manufactured building material used globally for the finish
construction of interior walls and ceilings. A drywall panel is made of a paper liner
wrapped around an inner core made primarily from gypsum plaster. The plaster is mixed
with fiber (typically paper and/or fiberglass), foaming agent, various additives that
increase mildew and fire resistance, and water and is then formed by sandwiching a core
of wet gypsum between two sheets of heavy paper or fiberglass mats. When the core
sets and is dried, the sandwich becomes rigid and strong enough for use as a building
material.
Drywall is typically available in 4 ft wide sheets of various lengths. Newly formed drywall
sheets are cut from a belt, the result of a continuous manufacturing process. In some
commercial applications, sheets up to 16 ft are used. Larger sheets of drywall make for
faster installation, since they reduce the number of joints that must be finished. Often, a
sizable quantity of any custom length may be ordered, from factories, to exactly fit
ceiling-to-floor on a large project. The most commonly used drywall is one-half-inch thick
but can range from one quarter (6.35 mm) to one inch (25 mm). For soundproofing or fire
resistance, two layers of drywall are sometimes laid at right angles to each other. In
North America, five-eighths-inch-thick drywall type X with a one-hour fire-resistance
rating is often used where fire resistance is desired. Mold Resistant and Moisture
Resistant or Mold Board and Greenboard are also types used for wet areas in the home
or office.
Drywall repair can be easy, depending on the type and size of the hole. There are three
types of holes – "doorknob," "fist," and "large." The equipment needed is easy and the
job is easy, so hesitate no more! Handyman Can Do It is prepared and knowledgeable
on all repairs. We come prepared to finish it right and right on time!
