No job is too small. The Fix-It Man is a handyman service serving Dallas and Polk Counties. I can fix just about anything in and around your home. We repair drywall, and decks, mount TV’s, repair windows and screens, install antennae, replace lighting fixtures, add an outlet, paint, wallpaper and refinish furniture, and more. I am insured and estimates are always free.

"The ends of the planks on my deck were rotted and Greg was the only person who suggested the window-frame solution. Others suggested splice and replace. Though it cost me a little bit more, the idea is clever and the end result is polished, enjoyable to o view and took care of all the rotted ends. I'm hiring Greg to stain my deck as well. Unlike others, he doesn't pressure wash decks, unless he has to, because pressure washing destroys wood."

Heavenly Heat Infrared Saunas are made for the chemically sensitive. That means that our infrared saunas create an ideal, safe, and effective detoxification environment for anyone seeking to eliminate toxic substances from their body.

"I purchased a Heavenly Heat Sauna a few weeks ago . What I liked is you don?t smell any glues . I also liked its easy ( two man ) assembly. What I don?t like , in order to avoid using glues, they use pins or very thin nails. Some pins were missing and some were not beneath the surface. For the rough edges you?re provided with a small piece of sandpaper . Bot at a cost of over 5k you don?t expect to do sanding. My biggest complaint is that it takes almost an hour to get the sauna to 150 degrees. Definitely not worth the price. "

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

The best way to heat a swimming pool depends on your pool and location. Those living in sunny environments may find that a solar-powered heater works just fine, but you may need something more reliable, like a gas or electric heater if it’s often cloudy where you live. When in doubt, try a few lower-cost options first to see if they meet your needs before going all in on a more expensive heater.

If you live in an area where pool enclosures are expected, like in Florida, having one won't necessarily increase your home value. However, it's worth noting that in warm climates, a pool can add $11,600 to $95,000 to a home's value. 

On the other hand, if you're in an area where pool enclosures are not common, having one might set your home apart from the crowd. Depending on the appraiser, you may see an additional $25,000 to $27,000 or more for an enclosed, inground pool when it comes time to sell.

Your pool enclosure’s lifespan will depend on the type and materials, but on average, you can expect it to last 10 to 15 years. The climate and level of maintenance will also affect how long your pool enclosure lasts. 

If you’re unsure of how your pool is doing in general, you can always get a pool inspection to make sure everything’s running smoothly.

If you are installing a fiberglass pool, you may want to install or update your patio or deck at the same time to create a safe, comfortable place to sit and dry off or grab a bite to eat after swimming. You might also consider adding a hot tub to the mix, which costs $6,000 on average.

Yes, pool designs can be customized to accommodate specific preferences, allowing for unique shapes, personalized tiling, special lighting features, water fixtures, and varying depths to create bespoke leisure experiences.
