Spring Seasonal Handyman Services

• Check your decks and porches. You’re going to be spending more time outside, so it’s a good time to see if your wood decking needs to be refinished or if any cracks in paved or cemented areas should be fixed. This can be a safety hazard, so it’s important to check your decks and porches to avoid accidents.
• Wash with power. Power washing is a fast way to clean up outdoor surfaces, whether it’s your home’s exterior, debris in walkway crevices or potentially hazardous mold built up on brick or cement paths.
• Pull out the paint. Springtime temperatures are ideal for painting, whether it’s your exterior wood trim, siding that is beginning to peel or items that need to be stripped and resealed. Having a handyman touch up the exterior of your home can save you from a complete overhaul paint job, which can cost thousands of dollars

Summer Seasonal Handyman Services

• Adequately insulate your attic. Insufficient insulation and poor ventilation can make your home feel “hot from above” and will drive up your energy bill. Having efficient insulation can save you hundreds of dollars a year in energy costs.
• Check your gates and fences. Fence boards can loosen over time and gates tend to sag as they get older. Installing an additional hinge on your gate can prevent future sagging and prevent unwanted visitors and family pets from getting loose.
• Change air filters in your furnace. Dirty air can cause health issues, so changing your air filter regularly will help filter out allergens and keep your furnace running efficiently.

Fall Seasonal Handyman Services 

• Start storing for winter. This is the best time to start storing any patio furniture, a barbecue grill and disconnecting garden hoses. The weather elements at this time of year will do damage to these items, so don’t forget to store these away for the season.
• Adjust your garden sprinkler system. Your lawn and garden don’t need as much water in the fall and winter, so this is a good time to adjust your system to minimize watering times and days. This will lower your water bill and save you hundreds of dollars every year.
• Check and repair electrical outlets. Check for frayed wires and loose-fitting plugs, as they are potential fire hazards. Also be sure not to overload your outlets or any other power service.

Winter Seasonal Handyman Services 

• Check for proper insulation. A simple way to determine if you have air leaks in your attic or basement is to have a handyman check your insulation for dark spots. You could be wasting hundreds of dollars a year with inefficient insulation.
• Check the roof. Damaged or missing shingles and broken flashing seals around chimneys can cause leaks during storms, which can lead to further damage to the inside of your home. Hire a handyman to check the roof and blow off leaves as they hold unwanted moisture.
• Clean your gutters. Debris and muddy water can back up and cause damage to your siding and wood trim, which can cost hundreds of dollars in repair bills. Hire a handyman to keep your gutters clean.
