"Anthony and his Barefoot Handyman crew arrived on time and loaded our trash quickly and expertly. They were pleasant to talk to, very easy to work with, and charged a very fair price for their services. Since Anthony is a multi-talented handyman, I also asked him to look at our flower garden the back. He had some great ideas on the spot and will get back to me with a proposal. I will call Anthony at Barefoot Handyman whenever I need any type of handyman services. I recommend Barefoot Handyman unreservedly."

"We hired Northland Handyman Services to do several jobs for us. He came over, gave us a very resonable estimate of each job we needed done. We had him powerwash driveway and sidewalk, wire our garage for an extra outlet for a new freezer that we had purchased and some landscaping. He gave us an estimate that was very reasonable. He worked with our schedule and finished each job as promised and cleaned up after each job. We will be hiring him for several more jobs that we need done. Excellent service and resonably priced! Highly recommend this young man!"

"I had a wonderful experience with Five Star Bath Solutions! From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The owner Nathan was extremely helpful, professional and followed through with everything he said including start time and completion of work to get done. Rob did the work, and he did an absolutely amazing job. He was friendly, knowledgeable,respectful, detailed, and clearly takes pride in his work. The finished result looks beautiful, and everything was completed with great care and quality. I would highly recommend Five Star Bath Solutions to anyone looking for excellent service and a job done right!"

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts

A hose bib is typically located on an exterior wall of the home, about 6 to 18 inches from the ground or on a deck floor. It will have a top handle that you use to turn the water supply on and off. It will also have a male hose thread, or MHT, on the outlet side, where you would connect a hose.

You can replace a spigot handle by unscrewing it from the outdoor faucet. Take the broken handle to a hardware or home improvement store. Ask for a new handle that matches the size of your existing one. Screw the new handle into the place and test the new handle to ensure it works and doesn’t cause any leaks. 

While plumber’s tape is a great solution for many plumbing problems, there are some times when it’s not the right product for the job at hand. 

You shouldn’t use plumber’s tape on pipe connections in any of the following scenarios:

  • When connecting PVC pipes

  • If the pipe has wide threads, as water can still leak through the space between the threads

  • If the pipe has very tight threads, as the tape would prevent a proper connection

  • If the pipe threads are damaged, which would prevent the tape from providing a watertight seal

If your predicament is similar to any of these, a licensed plumber can help you solve the problem.

Most gas stoves either have a shutoff valve inside the oven drawer compartment or behind the stove wall. Cooktop shutoff valves are usually inside the base cabinet, and wall ovens usually have a shutoff valve in the cabinet below or next to the unit. Construction regulations require installing a shutoff valve within six feet of the appliance. So, if you can’t find the valve on the appliance, look around the connecting gas pipes within the six-foot radius.

Your toilet handle might not come back up if the nut is loose or the bolt threads are stripped. Try to tighten the mounting nut and wrap plumber’s tape around the handle bolt to fix stripped threads. It’s possible the handle was improperly installed. If that’s the case, you can use the instructions above to correct the handle’s position.
