How Often Should You Paint your Home?

It is a question with many variables.  A lot of it depends on your own personal pride.  Sometimes the weather over the last few years dictates the decision.  Here are some general rules of thumb…wood siding should be painted about every 5 years…or at least stained every 3-4 years.  Aluminum siding is good for about 5 years and stucco could be every 6 or so.

This part is universally true…Nothing gives the outside of your home a fast, impressive facelift like a fresh coat of paint!  Whether you want to add a touch of quick curb appeal before you sell or you just enjoy living in a well-kept home, this is an ideal time to paint your house's exterior before things heat up in the Dallas area.

The most important decision you will make is whom should paint your castle.  For many years, Dallas area residents have found reassurance in hiring Home Pro Services.  They are a premier house painting service serving all of the Metroplex.  Is it time for a face lift?  Trust the pros at Home Pro Services.  Call them at (214) 886-3326.  

The Floor is the Ceiling.

Say what?  We mean look down…at your floors.  The easiest way to dress up a tired room and increase the value of your home is with new flooring.  Maybe it is not the first thing that you think of when you’re are thinking of upgrades.  You may end up being very, very surprised…even floored!

Consider some of following –

1.  Hardwood…just refinish over and over

2.  Engineered hardwood…comes pre-finished

3.  Tile…extremely durable

4.  Laminate…easily installed over existing floors

One thing you don’t want is an uneven look when the job is done.  To ensure that, you hire the flooring professionals at Home Pro Services.  Those of us who live in The Metroplex have relied on Home Pro Services for a variety of home improvement projects.  You can always trust the Dallas area’s premier handymen…Home Pro Services.  Just call (214) 886-3326.

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.
