Flooring Installation

Gutter Cleaning
The beautiful wooded areas of Goodlettsville are among the features that make it so lovely, but they do have a downside—rain gutters seem to fill up with leaves in no time flat.
Gutters normally collect all the rainwater that slides off your roof and channel it away from your house, where it can't do any damage. But if they're stuffed to the brim with dead leaves, dirt, and other debris, the water has nowhere to go and pours down the exterior walls of your home, leaving them susceptible to moisture or water damage and possible wood rot.
Your rain gutters need to be cleaned out regularly, but that can be a big chore—especially if you're not prepared to climb a ladder and get your hands dirty. Don't worry, just leave it to your local Goodlettsville handyman service professionals!
We'll not only clean your gutters, but we'll inspect them and repair any breaks or weak points that are preventing the water from flowing smoothly through the channel. And, we can even install gutter guards to help prevent them from filling up so fast next time.
Note: Although the safest and most reliable option is to hire a professional handyman, Goodlettsville, TN homeowners who decide to clean their own gutters are recommended to have their ladders inspected for rust, corrosion, and excessive wear. In case of any accidents, your insurance may want to see recent ladder inspection papers.
Kitchen Remodeling
Whether you spend most of your time in the kitchen cooking up a storm or just putting on your chef's apron once in a while, the kitchen needs to be not only in great condition but also set up to best suit your needs and keep the work flowing when you're busy whipping up something tasty.
Think there might be some room for improvement in your kitchen? From new countertops and custom cabinets to a tile backsplash or a total layout change, your local Goodlettsville handyman can give you the kitchen of your dreams.
Popular services for kitchen remodeling include:
- Installing new countertops
- Creating custom kitchen islands
- Putting in a new sink and appliances
- Installing a tile backsplash
- Installing prefabricated cabinets or creating custom cabinets from scratch
- New flooring system
We can also give you advice on the layout and design of your kitchen remodel. For example, did you know that the stove, refrigerator, and sink should be laid out in a triangle if possible? Having them roughly situated on three points of an imaginary triangle increases the ease of use and lets you stay focused on what really matters—your culinary masterpieces.
Home Repair Services By a Local Handyman Goodlettsville Can Trust
It’s crucial for your living space to be safe and comfortable, and no one knows your home better than yourself. It won’t take long to notice signs that you need home repair, such as deteriorating insulation, damaged door trim, or cracks along your walls. It’s natural for you to treat your home like a part of your family, as it gives you a roof above your head. If it calls for attention, it’s for a good reason. Your versatile repair and maintenance technician can help find out what’s causing damage to your home and fix it, so that your entire family can be safe and secure again.
Drywall Repair
Also known as Sheetrock or gypsum board, drywall has become many people’s go-to wall installation material for many modern homes. The thicker the drywall, the more durable it is. The average thickness is 1/2 inch, which is what you will find in most homes. Not only is it sturdy, reliable, and easy to install, but it’s also cost-effective and long-lasting. When gypsum board panels were invented in the early 1900s, people praised them for the durable, convenient qualities that have enabled them to feel safer in their homes and save costs on other types of labor-intensive wall installation.
Drywall damage can vary, from accidental holes to water damage. Your Goodlettsville handyman will be able to tell whether patching, repairs, or replacement will be the best solution for your damage, and determine if there are also underlying issues that should be fixed.
Trim Repair
When we hear about interior trim, we think about fancy crown moldings, but it also includes floor trim like baseboards or door casings and window sills. Common signs of trim damage to watch out for include:
- Wood rot
- General wear and tear
- Airleaks
- Moisture damage
It’s not always easy to identify the reason for damage right away, but we always recommend a thorough inspection that rules out underlying issues like wood rot or water damage beneath flooring or inside walls. If you’re unsure, you can always ask your local Goodlettsville handyman for a detailed diagnosis.
Pro Tip: It’s easy for some DIY experts to fix nail holes with wood filler, but do keep in mind that there are both water-based and solvent-based fillers. Water-based fillers are clean and versatile, while solvent-based wood fillers that contain epoxy are sometimes too excessive for nail holes and serve a better purpose for outdoor repairs. Some people tend to use caulk to fill nail holes, which we don’t recommend because it shrinks over time.
Attic Insulation
When Goodlettsville homeowners notice a temperature imbalance at home, they might look at their HVAC systems immediately to check for any potential faults. Next might be investigating door cases and window frames for air leaks. But how often do you go up in the attic to check the insulation? If you don’t remember when your current insulation was installed, but you have noticed signs of poor indoor air quality, drafts and an overworking HVAC system, you likely have old insulation that a professional needs to replace. The common attic insulation types include:
- Fiberglass
- Cellulose
- Spray Foam
- (Mineral) Wool
- Polyurethane Boards
- Polystyrene Boards
Pro Tip: Although spray foam is more expensive, experts have ranked it as the best choice for effective, durable attic insulation. The smooth layers it creates envelop the whole attic floor, beams, and even walls if you prefer. Multiple layers are possible, and we typically recommend it, so that it creates a more reliable air barrier, allowing almost zero heat transfer. Spray foam has a high R-value of 7 per inch.
