No project is too small. If you need something fixed, something moved, something installed, to you it isn’t too small of a project. You wouldn’t call a carpenter to fix a loose door hinge, you’d call a HANDYMAN. You wouldn’t call an electrician to install that new ceiling fan, you’d call a HANDYMAN. No matter what your project is, just call us and see how simple things can be.

"Very professional work quiet and clean also painted a built in desk cabinet piece that looks like a new piece I would highly recommend"

"The Smart Home features they installed, such as thermostat and door locks, etc. do not always work. For example, the Honeywell thermostat can no longer be operated from our phones and is difficult to install. Remote door locks are also unpredictable."

I am a self-taught artist, initially drawn to experiment with pastels and colored pencil, and now working with acrylic on canvas. My art speaks for itself.

"We have a large solar panel system that is about 10 years old. Our inverter went out about 2 months ago and Acheivers was two weeks or more coming to troubleshoot why our panels weren’t working. They sent another gentleman a week later who diagnosed the inverter as the problem and he would be back as soon as he got the part. And now….CRICKETS!!! We have called the business three times and they say Jerry Adams will call us back because he’s on the road (whatever that means) and nothing, no phone call, no texts….NOTHING! The third time we called, Friday, July 26,2024, I spoke to Jerry’s daughter who said I should call him because he was on the road. She gave me his number, I called and he never answered….it sent me to voice mail and the voice mail was full. I called acheiver’s store again this morning, July 29, 2024, and told them Jerry’s mailbox as full so I could not leave a voicemail and the telephone anawering lady told me, “His mailbox is not full, he doesn’t have it setup.” WHAT?????? I asked her how I was supposed to get in touch with him and she asked did I call him again today. By this point I was losing patience and reminded her that we paid them to install and maintain these panels so I shouldn’t have to call over and over and over. She was a bit short with me by this time and told me she didn’t have any knowledge of my solar panels, like I had made any indication that I thought she did. But, she did say she would call Jerry Adams and have him call me…..once again CRICKETS!"

Doors questions, answered by experts

If a wooden door swells from temporary humidity or moisture, it should return to its original size as the environment dries out. However, if the door remains swollen due to prolonged exposure to moisture or water damage, it may not fully revert to its original shape and could require repairs or replacement. Using a dehumidifier and ensuring your doorway has good ventilation can help prevent and reduce swelling in wooden doors.

You put shims between the three-sided frame to which the door hinges are attached and the framing of the rough wall opening. Using shims like this will center your door in the wall opening and allows you to make small adjustments to get your door plumb and level for smooth operation. Your shims and the gap they fill will be covered when you install door trim, so don’t worry too much about the appearance.

An interior French door should last you anywhere between 30 and 50 years, while an exterior French door unit will last around 15 to 30 years on average. Exactly how long your French doors last depends on the quality of the materials you choose, with vinyl doors lasting far less time than fiberglass, metal, and clad-wood doors. Upgrading to shatterproof glass can also improve the lifespan of exterior French doors.

It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.

Smart locks offer around the same level of safety as conventional locks with keys. The best way to secure your door locks is to combine routine locking mechanisms with other home safety features, like lighting, motion sensors, security cameras, and window and door sensors. 

Smart locks have the upper hand when it comes to convenience—you won't have to worry about your key not turning in the lock or fumbling around in your bag for your keys—but beyond that, any door with deadbolts will offer a similar degree of security.
