Residential Norwood Handyman Services

Drywall Installation

Did you know drywall was invented in the early 1900s? It was created to replace plaster and is much lighter and easier to manufacture and install. Interestingly, drywall is also unique because it's fire-resistant. This material is constructed out of two paper boards with a lining of gypsum in the middle—which is a powdery white or gray sulfate mineral—sulfate is non-combustible, giving drywall this unique quality against fire. 

Yet, although it has numerous benefits, one drawback is that drywall damages very easily. Hanging shelves or pictures, playing children, exposure to moisture, and general wear can all impact your walls, in particular, water damage. Drywall is quite porous, and despite its fire resistance, the same can't be said for water. Any moisture in your walls may harm their structure and cause mold to spread, making a replacement inevitable. The good news is that your local Norwood handyman is highly skilled at drywall repair and can professionally complete tasks such as: 

  • Patching 
  • Installation
  • Mudding
  • Seam/joint taping
  • Painting
  • Ceiling repair, installation
  • Stucco repair

Signs You Need Drywall Repair:

  • Hole In drywall: You might think that wood only attracts termites, but unfortunately, that’s not the case. Any type of cellulose is a target for termites and rodents. Pests and infestations are serious problems that will need thorough pest control services before your local Norwood handyman can check for potential repair services. In this case, a patching job may be one option, but after an infestation, you might want to consider a full replacement. Nail holes or popped nails are unsightly, and it may be safest to fix them by removing any popped nails with a utility knife and pliers. If that nail is a part of your drywall stud, you will need to tap it back down and even add additional drywall screws to ensure the panel is attached to the wall stud.
  • Drywall cracks: Cracks primarily relate to home settling when the soil begins to shift. Anything from a hairline crack to jagged or 45-degree angle cracks are often harmless, but they require a second opinion from a foundation specialist, along with their repair suggestions. They might tell you that you merely need drywall repair from a handyman. Norwood MA property owners who experience interior cracks count on us to thoroughly inspect their drywall to rule out any potential risks of further damage.
  • Water damage: A lot of things can cause water damage, from heavy rains to plumbing issues. Water lines are primarily built behind walls or beneath the floors. If you hear running water or experience a sudden change in pressure, we recommend turning off your shut-off valve and checking the water meter to confirm a leak. However, if the damage is caused by bad weather and you experience wet spots and musty smells, you likely have a leak in your roof that could be caused by clogged gutters or damaged soffits and fascia boards. When relying on your local handyman, Norwood MA homeowners will receive efficient drywall repair services and a thorough inspection.

Fence Repair

Your fence in Norwood provides privacy, clearly marks your property lines and ensures your little children and pets can play safely in the backyard. It also contributes to your curb appeal by creating an aesthetically appealing frame around your home. But when your fence has fallen into disrepair, it looks unappealing and may be a hazard to you and your family. Rotting planks, exposed nails, peeling paint and splinters are all concerning and should be fixed or partly replaced right away. With the help of your local Norwood handyman experts, your fence will look good as new in no time. We've worked with many materials, including:

  • Aluminum 
  • Vinyl
  • PVC
  • Wood
  • Wrought iron

We’re also practiced at completing a range of fence repairs, such as: 

  • Correcting leaning fences, fence posts and fallen panels
  • Cleaning and staining old wooden fences
  • Replacing damage from rot and insects
  • Replacing missing or damaged board and pickets
  • Cleaning or replacing rusty gate hinges
  • Sanding/painting wood boards

Deck Repair

Throughout your Norwood neighborhood, you may have noticed different types of decks with pressure-treated wood being the most common. It’s easy to install and relatively easy to purchase from any hardware store. Pressure-treated means that the wood has been injected with preservatives and other chemicals that make it moisture and bug-resistant. If you neglect any periodic maintenance like staining or sealing, your deck boards will be susceptible to weather damage and develop splinters or cracks. If well-maintained, it could last you between 25 and 40 years.

Signs You Need Deck Repair:

  • Wood rot: Discolored areas showing white, yellow or purplish hues. Flaky paint, softened texture or a cubical fracture
  • Grime and mold: Common in areas that don’t get much sun and take longer to dry. If you show signs of allergic reactions once you step out on your deck, check the sides and underneath your deck boards for mold
  • Damaged stairs: Ensure the frame that forms the corresponding structural support is safe and that all connectors are of non-corrosive steel materials. The treads shouldn’t squeak when you step on them
  • Wobbly railings: You may not know when bolts and screws are loose. Your local Norwood handyman will check the post and ensure the frame is well-connected to the deck joists and beams 

Attic Insulation

Not every homeowner in Norwood climbs up their attic unless it’s a furnished space. When you experience temperature fluctuations and an increased energy bill, the first thing to inspect is your home’s insulators, ranging from door and window frames to siding and drywall. If they are in good condition, you will check your attic next. Is hot summer air plaguing your home or is your heated furnace air rising up way too fast? This indicates that you may have outdated or insufficient attic insulation.

Types of Attic Insulation:

  • Fiberglass: Fiberglass batts are pre-cut sections, or you can request blow-in fiberglass, which is probably one of the easiest types to install within your attic space. (R-value of 3.1 to 4.3 per inch.)
  • Cellulose: Cellulose is made of recycled materials like paper, cardboard and boric acid. It gets dusty during installation unless you opt for loose-fill cellulose, which typically falls well into place. (R-value is 3.5.)
  • Spray foam: Spray Foam insulation is your best choice for quality and an easy installation process. You can spray multiple layers that envelop your whole attic floor. (R-Value 7)

What Is R-Value?

R-value stands for thermal resistance—in other words, it measures the resistance level of heat transfer, determining a material’s capacity for heat flow resistance. Good insulation restricts heat flow, which means the higher the R-value, the better the insulation material. We recommend anywhere between R-30 and R-49.

If you notice bad indoor air quality, cold drafts or an overworking HVAC, we recommend that you contact your local handyman. Norwood MA homes will benefit from an expert’s inspection service to help you determine any underlying issues and help you choose the right type of insulation for your attic.
