There’s Nothing Like a Morning Shower.

Isn’t that the truth?  What if it’s time for a remodel?    Figuring out how to remodel a shower can be tough.  The question will always start with…should you try to do it yourself, or hire a professional contractor?  The first answer evolves from how many of these have YOU done in your lifetime?

Here are some other questions to ask –

1.  How much ongoing maintenance are you willing to tolerate?

2.  What can you NOT see behind your shower walls?

3.  Did you plan a budget?

4.  Did you talk to a trusted handyman and/or contractor?

If you have done your due diligence you will probably come to realize that you may be “penny-wise and pound foolish” if you try to make it a DIY job.  That’s why, here in the Dallas area, we are blessed to have the steady hands of Home Pro Services.  They handle more residential and commercial chores than you can imagine.  Call them at (214) 886-3326.

Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Make me a Match.

Tevya step aside.  This is about matching existing textures when patching drywall.  There are different variables involved that will contribute to whether or not you can see the line of demarcation between a new drywall patch and the existing drywall texture which surrounds it.  Now, that takes a real matchmaker!

Here are a few tips for those that care to roll up their sleeves –

1.  Always use exactly the same thickness as the existing layer.

2.  Don’t coat too much of the existing texture.

3.  Remove the lines between the patch and the surrounding drywall texture.

4.  Use the same methods and tools that were used originally for exact duplication.

Unless you are a bit of a magician these steps sound WAY to hard, don’t they?  Not for Home Pro Services of Dallas they aren’t!  When you have done drywall texturing over and over hundreds of times you get pretty good at it.  Call Home Pro Services for your next drywall project at (214) 886-3326.

Unsightly Dry Rotting of Wood.

There is little that makes your surroundings more antiquated and unlivable than dry rot.  It's not uncommon to find a window frame or sill suffering from dry rot.  Ironically this condition is not caused by the wood being dry, but rather, wet, usually for an extended period of time.  Here is what probably happened.

The water entered through a joint between the window frame and the exterior shingles.  Quite simply, the caulk has failed.  This kind of repair is made by first removing all of the rotten wood, then hardening any adjacent surfaces that may have been affected and finally filling the void, in this case, with solid wood and a filler called polyester resin.

It is a job for a true handyman.  And, no matter how you slice it, someone is better equipped to do this in your home than you are!  That someone in the Dallas area is Home Pro Services serving the Metroplex with a variety of professional, guaranteed handyman services for many years.  Just call them at (214) 886-3326.
