FAQ

Who will manage my handyman task?

Professional handymen are the best option if you're looking for someone local who can do a job such as replacing a light bulb or fixing a leaky faucet. A handyman service might be a good option if you have multiple jobs to do, such as replacing a roof or installing floor tiles.

Handyman Services offers you ongoing support and maintenance.


When is the right moment to hire a handyman

There's no "right" moment to hire a handyman. You simply need to get started as soon as possible. Of course, you can wait until after the holidays to save some money. However, you can always pick up your phone and call different handymen.


How often should I use a handyman for my job?

It all depends on what your project is. You might only need one handyman per work week if your job is a simple fix-it, such as changing a light bulb. For large-scale remodeling projects, you might need to hire several handymen.


Which is easier: contracting or being a handyman?

Being a handyman requires fewer resources than contracting, as you only need yourself and tools. However, you must be able to manage your own workload and schedule, while contractors typically rely on subcontractors to do most of the work.


What is the difference in a handyman and carpenter?

You can hire a handyman for many projects including plumbing, electrical installation and drywall repair. Carpenters specialize in woodworking. They can build cabinets and walls, doors, windows or stairs.


Are handyman services more expensive than general contractors?

Yes! Sometimes, a handyman can be a better alternative to hiring a general contractor to complete the task. This is especially true in cases where you have never hired a contractor to do the work. In addition, a handyman can help speed up the completion of a project because they generally have expertise in completing certain tasks faster and more efficiently.

How To

How to replace a broken tile

Step 1 - Remove the old tiles.

You can remove the old tiles from your floor and save them. These tiles should be kept intact in case you need them again. If they're damaged or missing pieces, note which ones they were so you don't run into problems finding replacements.

Step 2 - Select New Tiles

Check out these options for tile replacement.

  1. You can find a tile replacement that is similar to the one you have just removed.
  2. To find the right piece, take the measurements you took as you were removing the tiles. This will make it easy to get the correct size without having again to measure.
  3. Look for various colors, patterns, textures, sizes, shapes, etc.
  4. Consider the grout you want to use. Some people prefer a certain color, others like to mix it up.
  5. Choose a tile that resists moisture.
  6. Consider the location of your tile. You can save both time and money by making sure that there is enough room for proper installation.
  7. Once you've picked your tile, place an order online or call your local Lowe's location to place it.

Step 3 - Install the new tiles.

To install your tiles, follow the same procedure as before. It's important to align them correctly in order for them to fit together.

Step 4 - Clean Up

Be sure to vacuum up all crumbs and debris before applying the last layer.

This will prevent dirt and dust from settling into the cracks between the tiles that could cause mold.

Step 5: Sand down the Floor

After you have cleaned everything, sand the floor to remove any particles that were left from the previous step.

Step 6 - Finish Off

Once the floor is completely smooth, apply the protective coatings to the tiles. You should wait until this stage as wet paint can stain new tiles.

To protect your floors from stains, you can use "damp-and dry" products.

However, it won't cover every possible problem that may occur after you've installed your new tiles. An anti-slip coating can be added to the protective layer for children who are often running around.

Finally, do not forget to keep the protective sealer on for several more weeks before you move back into your home.
