Handyman doing light plumbing, electrical, moving, assembly, and general home repair. No remodeling or construction. I've been doing many types of repairs for over 30 years. Prompt response and on time to job sites.

"Mike has been an excellent friend and worker for me. I'm so thankful to have found him to take charge of returning a rental house into a prospective home to list on the market. He does great work, responds and communicates well. He's surprised me on a couple of occasions by taking care of some items I thought would require many more dollars to hire a contractor. I didn't mention I live 2,000 miles away from the rental, so it's been a godsend to have Mike onboard. Great guy, does great work."

"I began the project on Angi to switch out 2 old bathroom faucets for new ones. I explained the scope of the project in my angi query but also individually to Jose, owner of Santos construction, once he reached out. He provided me a fair price of 300 and we agreed to schedule the work for Monday, October 27. On that date, he was hours late and arrived around 8pm. I had the new faucets, and supply line kits set out for him and he got to work. The installation of the new faucets took about 2-3 hours. I paid him via personal check for the agreed amount and he left. He left quite a mess in the bathroom, a trash can full of water, and used 2 entire rolls of toilet paper to soak up some mess which were also left aside for me to pick up. It wasn't a huge deal but I wish he would have communicated the need for towels, paper towels or that he'd left a mess. The next day, Tuesday, I texted him at 7:30am because one of the faucets was dripping heavily and consistently all night long. He responded that he would return on Saturday. Saturday came and Jose said he was held up and could not come to fix the dripping faucet but could come Monday. I was growing irritated with the week of a leaking faucet and concerned about the wasted water and expense but we scheduled his return for monday evening. Monday evening Jose texted that he could not come. I suggested the next day and he said he couldn't return until Thursday. I expressed my concerns about my water bill and how delaying the correction of the issue was a problem. He committed to coming Thursday and said he wasn't sure why is was leaking because the valves were closed. On Tuesday morning, we realized that the other sink had been leaking profusely underneath, into the cabinet. Many toiletries and small appliances had sat in water for a week and were ruined. I immediately contacted Jose and asked him to return to fix both of his installations that day. I said I couldn't wait until Thursday with this major leak. He said he couldn't come but would come Thursday or try for Wednesday night. I contacted a plumber because I was concerned about the water leaking into rhe cabinet, and potentially the floor beneath them. The plumber found that one faucet had a peice of plastic and Styrofoam in it which caused the dripping and the other faucet had a valve left loose and open causing the major leak and subsequent damage. The cost of the plumber to fix the major errors by Santos Construction was $379.00! I contacted Jose and sent him the invoice from the plumber. I asked him to refund me what I paid to him so that I could apply it to the cost to fix his work. He refused and said there was no reason to contact a plumber since he was going to come back in the next day or so. I explained that he wa scheduled to return 3 times and the issues were worsening, and that I couldn't let water keep leaking into the cabinet, floor, and ceiling below while hoping he comes back. I would like Jose to refund me the $300 I paid him so that I can apply that to the $379.00 cost of the plumber to correct his apprentice or novice level errors. Both of the leaks, damage to our things and extra costs to plumber, were completely preventable had he not been negligent the night he installed them."

Door Repair questions, answered by experts

For most doors, you can use a 1-inch chisel to create the mortise for the strike plate. In addition, you can use a 3/4-inch chisel for more refined cuts and to clean up the edges of your mortise. The smaller tool is handy when squaring off the edges around the hole for your latch.

Interior door thresholds are usually attached using finish nails, and some contractors will also use construction adhesive under the threshold to hold it in place. Exterior door thresholds are more commonly screwed to prevent them from pulling up when people step on the raised edge on the outside of the door. Exterior doors also include caulk sealant on the inside to prevent water and air from seeping through.

The best way to keep water out of a sliding glass door track is to regularly clean the tracks so debris doesn't build up and block the drainage holes. Exposure to water can cause your tracks to warp or rust to accumulate on your rollers and keep the door from sliding smoothly.

A hollow core door has an average life expectancy of about 20 to 40 years, with most lasting 30 years before they need to be replaced. Doors that are well cared for can last on the longer end, as long as no severe damage occurs.

If part of the key is protruding out of the lock, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to gently turn the key in the lock to open the door. If the key is fully inserted into the lock, you may also be able to use a key extractor to help turn the key into the unlocked position. 

But if the key breaks off halfway into the lock or you simply can’t reach it to help engage the unlocking mechanisms, you should probably call a professional.
