The Bugs are Coming Out to Play.

The weather is changing, nasty pests are coming back to the Dallas area.  Common household varmints are probably starting to reappear in your home.  The Metroplex has a variety of pests ranging from reptiles to bugs to rodents.  Most of them are harmless, but some damage our homes or offices seemingly to the point of destruction.

The ones who leave behind damage are the ones we focus on.  We are not talking about swatting a fly or a mosquito, but rather the damage that real pests such as termites and mice can do to the infrastructure of your castle.  This is the kind of damage that we specialize in repairing once and for all.

Home Pro Services to the rescue…voila…good as new!  Oh, what a relief it is to be damage free and live in the greatest city in America.  Home Pro Services is the Dallas area’s premier pest damage clean-up expert.  At the first sign of destructive pests in your Dallas area home or office call Home Pro Services at (214) 886-3326.

It Might Taste Better than it Looks.

When we think of popcorn, we probably dream of being at our favorite movie theater relaxing and chomping down on the crunchy stuff.  In the construction field, popcorn is the name of the stuff in your ceiling.  It provides sound dampening, but over time it gathers dust and may need to be replaced.  Can you do that?

There is a way to fix the ceiling without removing the texture, the easiest and least expensive option is to scrape off the popcorn and retexture the area.  It doesn’t matter how you do it, there's going to be a shower of dirt and mud, so you must cover everything in plastic and yourself in protective clothing and goggles.

Are we scuba diving or removing popcorn form our ceiling?  It does sound daunting, doesn’t it?  The great news is that Home Pro Services specializes in removing popcorn and dozens of other handyman chores in the Dallas Metroplex.  If you find that a job requires a pro call Home Pro Services at (214) 886-3326.

Keeping a Roof over your Head.

Springtime might be time to consider a new roof on your Dallas area home.  On many occasions a roof can naturally reach the end of its useful life without experiencing a complete failure.  We probably don’t need to tell you that if you overlook the flaws you could be looking at some major (and expensive) repairs down the road.

Here are some potential signs to look for that your roof needs attention –

1.  The shingle edges are curled (even slightly).

2.  Granules are missing crating bald spots.

3.  Age…is it over 20 years?

Here is the question…would you rather spend much less now to have your roof repaired, or a great deal more down the road?  If the answer is yes, then address it now by calling the ultimate Dallas area handymen and roofing repair experts Home Pro Services.  Your roof has to last decades, so keep it up by calling Home Pro Services at (214) 886-3326.

How Do You Remove Hard Wallpaper?

Well, how do you run a marathon?  How do you fix the engine of a Mercedes?  How do you hit a home run off Nolan Ryan (in his prime, of course)?   The answer is…you watch someone else do it!  These are tasks that require a professional.  If you want to try your hand at removing and installing wallpaper you have our sympathy.

Just a quick tutorial in case you fancy yourself as the next Tim Allen.  You loosen the glue under the wallpaper itself.  Saturate the new sheets in warm water.  Take them out of the bucket.  Wring them out very gently.  Then begin applying them very carefully starting in the corner.  Then call a divorce attorney, because this is not a job for two people who care about each other!

Realistically you call DFW’s ultimate handyman company.  That is Home Pro Services.  When Chris got the ball rolling years ago, he saw a gaping need in homes and businesses that required dozens of different handyman services.  If you live in the Dallas area just give them a call anytime at (214) 886-3326.

Water, Water Everywhere.

Water can be destructive. When water meets the drywall that makes up your interior walls and ceilings it can make them look awful.  Even worse, it can damage wallboard enough that it collapses and falls apart, which can cause huge homeowner headaches.  Don’t panic though. Home Pro Services is just a phone call away.

Here are some of the steps that are taken to repair water damage-

1.  Find the source of the leak…it is not always obvious.

2.  Remove the nasty, damaged drywall.

3.  After making all the repairs, prime and apply paint.

4.  Don’t forget all the clean-up.

Are you prepared to do all of that yourself?  Maybe not!  That is why Home Pro Services is ready to come to your rescue.  Whether it is home or office, we will make all the necessary repairs and return the walls to their original beauty.  If it is in the Dallas area or throughout much of West Texas please give us a call at (214) 886-3326 or (806) 589-3343.  

Are you Suffering from Cabin Fever?

It is hard not to this time of year.  Perhaps you have always planned on remodeling or expanding  your castle from the date you purchased it or you’ve found yourself and your family quickly outgrowing the space, there are many options outside of simply buying something bigger.  We would like to stimulate your imagination.

Here are some things to consider –

1.  Determine how many square feet you wish to add to your home.

2.  Breakdown the costs.

3.  Make plans according to the size of the materials involved.

4.  Bring in a professional contractor to bring the job to fruition.

That’s where we come in.  We are Home Pro Services serving the area around the Dallas Metroplex.  We are a professional handyman services contractor.  Why not give us a call to come to your home and estimate the project?  We reinvented the word handy!  Just call us anytime at (214) 886-3326.
