Owning a home means you're constantly maintaining and improving your space.
Some issues are minor enough to be able to handle yourself, but others may require a professional touch.
Here are 10 common repairs every Homeowner should know about and when it is time to call Moyenda Handyman Service:
-
Leaky Faucets
A dripping faucet might seem like a minor annoyance, but over time, it wastes water and raises your bill.
You can often replace a worn-out washer or cartridge yourself. If that doesn't work, it's time to call a pro to avoid pipe damage or hidden leaks. -
Running Toilets
Most of the time, replacing the flapper or adjusting the chain will solve it. But if your toilet keeps running or the tank won’t fill correctly, a handyman can quickly diagnose and fix the issue before it leads to bigger plumbing problems. -
Squeaky Doors or Loose Hinges
A little lubricant can fix a squeaky hinge, but if your door isn’t closing properly or feels misaligned, you may need help resetting it or adjusting the frame. -
Cracks in Drywall
Small hairline cracks can be filled with spackle and touched up with paint.
For larger cracks or recurring damage, a handyman can repair and blend the area seamlessly. -
Loose Cabinet Doors
Tightening a few screws might do the trick, but stripped hardware or warped wood may require a pro’s help to realign or reinforce the cabinets. -
Sticking Windows
This could be a sign of dirt in the tracks or something more serious like frame warping or settling.
If cleaning doesn’t fix it, call someone who can evaluate the issue properly. -
Flickering Lights
It could be a loose bulb or poor connection. But if the issue persists across multiple fixtures, it might be an electrical concern.
A qualified Handyman can safely inspect and fix it. -
Clogged Drains
Try a plunger or natural cleaner first. If the clog doesn’t budge, avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage your pipes call a professional to clear the blockage safely. -
Peeling Caulk or Grout
These aren’t just cosmetic problems—they can lead to water damage. DIY kits exist, but getting clean, long-lasting results often takes practice.
A Handyman can reseal your bathroom or kitchen for a fresh, waterproof finish. -
Loose Handrails or Bannisters
These are safety hazards. If tightening the screws doesn’t work, the anchor points may be compromised.
