Water damage put right
Rotted subfloor, stained ceilings, soft drywall and swollen trim. I fix the damage and the thing that caused it, not just the part you can see.
What this actually involves.
Water damage is almost always bigger than it looks. A stain on a ceiling is the end of the trail, not the start of it, and patching it without finding the source just means doing it twice.
I find where it is coming from first, stop it, then repair the framing, subfloor, drywall and trim so it looks like it never happened.
Find the source
Roof, window, flashing, a supply line or a failed seal. Fixing the leak comes before fixing the damage.
Framing and subfloor
Rotted joists, subfloor and sill repaired or replaced so the floor is solid again.
Drywall and ceilings
Cut out, replaced, taped, textured and painted to match what is already there.
Trim and finish
Baseboard, casing and doors that have swollen or delaminated, replaced and painted.
Start to finish.
Come look at it
Free estimate. Send a photo first if it helps.
Find and stop the leak
No point repairing anything while water is still getting in.
Repair and refinish
Structure first, then surfaces, then paint.
Some of it, up close.
Real reviews, real jobs.
"Ed (The Handyman) did a great job on repairing a 40' section of my fence the other day. He and crew also built my deck/porch a couple years back which we still love. I don't think you can go wrong hiring Ed for any project you have in mind."
"This team was very prompt and professional. I needed a faucet replaced and sink board replaced. I texted what I needed it due it was over the weekend. He responded back immediately with an appointment time. He came out and informed me what was needed."
Where I work.
Based in Griffin, GA and working across Griffin, Experiment, Sunny Side, Orchard Hill, Williamson, Zebulon, Hampton, Jackson, Locust Grove, McDonough, Barnesville, Milner, Concord and the rest of Spalding County. If you are just outside that, call and ask, the answer is usually yes.
Straight answers.
Do you find the leak or just fix the damage?
Both. Repairing the damage without stopping the source is money thrown away, so I start at the source.
Can you match my existing ceiling texture and paint?
Yes, that is the part that decides whether a repair is invisible or obvious.
