Before We Begin...

Before we get into the handyman stuff, 
I have two burning issues that are each worth their own web page:

 

My Shed Philosophy What? There's a philosophy on sheds? You bet your sweet bippy there is! I can build you a shed that's Bigger, Better, and WAY CHEAPER than HD...	You Can't Sell Your Home? It's not the mortgage mess, and it's not the economy. That's part of it, of course, but that can't be all of it. You see other houses moving. Why not yours? I know WHY. I can TELL you why...

I Want To Make Your Home A Nicer Place To Live!

How long is your Honey-Do list? Do you have a handful of little jobs that aren't getting done?

Maybe you don't have the tools, the talent, or the time. Or maybe you do, but you'd rather spend your free time golfing or napping.

Give me a shot. I'd love the chance to do one of your jobs. And if you are happy with my work, together we can do some serious damage to your honey-do list.

Walk around your home with a pad of paper and make a Honey-Do list. Making an actual list could be eye-opening. You might not be aware of just how many problems there are until you actually make a list.

Your guests notice those problems that you've gotten used to. They're just too polite to point them out to you.

You know you'll fix that stuff when it's time to sell. So why not now? Why not enjoy the improvements yourself?

Start With Repairs

• Your bathroom door sticks and won't lock.
• Your garage door has a broken spring.
• A window screen is ripped.
• Does your tub need new caulking?

What are you waiting for? That tub won't caulk itself. It will only get worse. Recaulking a tub is simple, but repairing your wall after it has been damaged will be a lot more expensive.

Don't Forget New Installations

Don't just look at the broken things around your home. Look at the possibility of new things. Your life could be nicer with some small home improvements. Your house could be easier to sell.

• Install new shelving in your garage. Get that clutter off the floor. Get your car back in your garage where it belongs!
• Buy an entertainment center or a computer desk. I can assemble it for you.
• I can install a new garage door opener.
• Does someone in your family suffer from arthritis? I can install new lever-style door knobs.

The Honey-Do Challenge!

Walk around your house and make a Honey-Do list. If you can't find TEN things on your list, give me a call, and I will help you look.

If between the two of us we cannot find ten things, I will fix something for free!

But if there ARE ten or more things on your list, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!!! Why are you living with ten problems? Give me a call!

Sincerely,

Ken Whitaker

Start With This List

Here's a list of some of the things I do. If you need any of them done, or if any of these reminds you about something similar at your house, give me a call.

The pictures are only suggestions and examples. You can choose any item you want at any store you want.

 

Curb Appeal
You've gotten so used to that old mailbox that you don't even see the rust anymore. Hey, it works. It's just a mailbox.  But your guests see it. Don't think they don't, just because they don't tell you about it. What about your railings? Basketball hoop? House numbers?
	Look at these overgrown bushes. I bet the rooms are gloomy. I can cut these bushes off at the ground (no need to pull the roots), bundle them up for your trash, plant new smaller bushes, and spread some mulch.  For less than $100 you can have brighter rooms, more air on breezy days, and a more attractive house.

 

Storage Nobody EVER has enough storage!
I can install new closet organizers. Get more stuff into the same closet, and keep your things neater, too. You can't yell at your kids for a messy room if there's no place for them to put their stuff.
	Gain attic access. How much storage space are you wasting because of that small trap door they gave you. I bet it's in a closet, above a shelf, right? You may not need to go as far as folding stairs. A bigger trap door in a hallway might be enough. Use your stepladder to get in.
I can install shelving, hooks, and organizers in your basement and garage. I can build you a shelf that hangs from your ceiling over your car's hood!  I CAN GET YOUR CAR BACK IN YOUR GARAGE WHERE IT BELONGS!
	Assemble a new back yard shed. If you don't like my "Bigger, Better, and WAY CHEAPER than HD" shed (CLICK HERE), I can assemble a vinyl shed. If you're trying to sell your home, these are GREAT! Hide your junk, then take this shed with you when you move.

 

ASSEMBLIES

I can assemble computer desks, bookshelves, entertainment centers, swing sets, paddle fans, and anything else that comes with a big bag of small parts and an instruction booklet written by somebody who is just learning English.

 

ODD JOBS If you need any of these, or if any of these remind you of anything else, give me a call.
Interior Doors Install new lever-style door knobs. Plane doors that stick. Align a door so the latch snaps into the striker plate. Cut door bottoms after new carpet is installed.
Exterior Doors Install a new door closer. Change your locks. Get new doorknobs and deadbolts, front and rear, all with the same key. Fix your door bell. Install a peep hole. P.S., Did you know there's a song about peep holes? "Peep hole... Peep hole who need peep hole... Are the luckiest peep hole in the world" ;-)
Garage Doors Replace a broken spring. Repair a broken window. Adjust a garage door opener. Install a new opener.
Laundry Hookup a washer and a dryer. Install a dryer vent. Replace the heater element in an electric dryer.
Kitchen Install a space-saving under-cabinet microwave, can opener, or radio. Install an ice maker in your fridge. Reverse your fridge doors. Install or replace a dishwasher.
Safety Install grab bars. Install a second handrail. Dual handrails are amazing. Child-proof your home. Child-proof Grandma's house, too.
Decorating Install mini blinds and vertical blinds. Install curtain rods. Remove wall paper. Paint. Hang pictures and shelves.
Finishing Touches Install a pet door to your basement. Install a suspended grid ceiling. Replace stained panels in an existing grid ceiling. Match a missing piece of baseboard. Cut up an old swing set for removal. Build railings on your outdoor steps.
Repairs Fix crooked cabinet doors and doors that won't stay closed. Replace bad drawer guides. Repair holes in your drywall. Caulk around your tub. I can adjust bi-fold doors so they open and close smoothly.
Maintenance Power washing can remove green moss from bricks and cement. Lawn mowing. Snow blowing. Leaf blowing. Gutter and downspout cleaning. Gutter guards installed.

Anything Else

If you don't see it here, ask.

If you have any half-finished jobs that aren't getting finished, ask.

If I can't do it, I'll tell you. And maybe I can help you get your job done with one of my partners.
