No More Talk…Time to Caulk.

Bathtubs require precise caulking to prevent water from seeping into the walls, which could cause serious damage.  If the caulk around your bathtub is cracking, old, or just in need of an update it’s time to consider rolling up your sleeves and tackling the job.  Or…is it really a DIY task?

Here are just a few of the steps –

1.  Get a razor and remove the existing caulk.
2.  Clean up all of the caulk that falls below.
3.  Wipe down the bathtub thoroughly with denatured alcohol.
4.  Use a bleach solution to remove all of the mildew and mold.
5.  Lay down painter’s strips to get perfectly clean edges.

The Doors.

No, this is not a missive on Jim Morrison and the iconic rock band of the 60’s.  It’s about the interior doors in your home.  Interior doors are an important part of your home's overall look and significantly impact its inner “curb appeal”.  We may not think of that term when referring to the inside of our home, but it is aesthetically important.

Here are some tips –

1.  You probably should replace some of them if the differ in color or type.
2.  What is right for that particular room…bi-fold, French, solid wood, etc.?
3.  You may just want to change the trim instead of the entire door.
4.  You’re better served if you hire a professional.

It’s true…a poorly installed door would be a real eye-sore in your home.  That’s where we come in.  We are the Dallas area’s ultimate handyman service…Home Pro Services.  For expert interior door installation or any handyman duty around your castle call us every time and experience the professionalism.  Home Pro Services at (214) 886-3326.

Bringing the Outdoors into your Home.

Sometimes that is NOT a great idea, but when it pertains to a nice-looking screen door you can really enhance your enjoyment in most Dallas area homes.  A patio door is a great way to bring the spaciousness of the outdoors into your home. Featuring its sliding screen, you can enjoy fresh air without inviting in a variety of airborne pests.

Most modern screen doors on the market consist of a lightweight aluminum frame across which fiberglass screening material is stretched.  While fiberglass is an economical choice, it doesn't take much to punch a hole in it.  Aside from the screen itself, the most important material is the spline.  It is the narrow rubber tubing that locks the screen in a groove around the frame.

Whom in the Dallas area knows their way around screen doors of all types?  That would be Home Pro Services…of course!  You see, Home Pro Services is the ultimate handyman company in the Metroplex.  For any residential or commercial job call on one of their skilled, licensed, and bonded handymen.  That’s Home Pro Services at (214) 886-3326.

It sounds like a day without sunshine, but the removal of ceiling popcorn is the real deal.  Popcorn ceilings were all the rage 40-50 years ago.  They hid imperfections and didn’t require painting.  Now it’s a real pain if your mission is to repair cracks and holes in an aging infrastructure.

1.  Scrape a small area of the ceiling.
2.  Definitely test for asbestos!
3.  Cover everything in anticipation of a big mess.
4.  Remove ceiling fixtures and fans.
5.  Wet the ceiling with a pump sprayer.
6.  Round off the corners of your scraper so it won’t damage the ceiling.

Do you Want A Handyman…or a Whole Company?

You can hire someone to install drywall.  You can call a locksmith.  I’m sure that there are people with the ability to remodel a bathroom.  Yes, and there are electricians in the Dallas area as well.  There are even plenty of businesses who offer pest extermination if that is what you need for your home or business.

What you will NOT find in the Dallas area is a large and complete handyman and contractor service to do any and all of the above jobs and much, much more.  If you can hire from a team of handymen isn’t it a wiser decision to trust a large company than it would be one individual from a sole-proprietorship?

May we introduce you (or just remind you) to Home Pro Services?  They are the ultimate contractor and remodeling service in the Metroplex.  If you want to boggle your mind visit homeprocontracting.com and read their myriad of services.  The next time you need a handyman hire a village!  It’s Home Pro Services at (214) 886-3326.

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.
