"I hired Bob to repair a door frame that was split, and he was fantastic. Bob was a clear communicator, came to the job prepared, and very friendly. He arrived on time, the quality of his work was excellent and fairly priced, and he finished the work faster than initially projected. Bob also went out of his way to do some additional touch-up paint work in the unit, and gave my girlfriend a small screwdriver for another repair in her apartment. I have no complaints, and will definitely use Pino Construction for any of my future repairs! I strongly suggest that you check with him for any of your future repair work too."
"Gaby was the perfect person for this project. We reviewed it over the phone. He came a few days later to measure the project and came back the next week to install. We texted back and forth to keep in touch. Perfect solution to fix my outdated file drawers! Very pleased!"
"We hired Jr to repair our deck. He came very quickly to give us an estimate. He was very professional and honest about the work and what it would entail. He was in contact with us through the whole job. He repaired our decks with efficiency. We were so happy with the deck repairs we hired him to do a new wall for our driveway. Everything came out amazing. I will keep Jr's number and recommend him to anyone."
"Joseph Sweeney did an excellent job repairing three doors in my home. One of the doors was completely off the hinges, and the other two needed new doorknobs and adjustments so they would open and close properly. He got all three doors working perfectly again, was professional, efficient, and made sure everything was done right. I?m very happy with the work and would definitely recommend Joseph to anyone who needs handyman or door repair work. 5 stars!"
I am a semi retired builder/contractor providing handyman services to complete those odd jobs that linger or he or she don't want to do. Professional quality work and we clean up after ourselves.
Hansen Contracting has more than 25 years of experience for all of your contracting needs. We specialize in new residential construction as well as general home remodeling.
I'm a hands-on generalist who's been fixing, building, and finishing things for as long as I can remember. If it's broken, loose, crooked, or still in the box, I can handle it.\n\nThe best snapshot of what I do is a Ford Transit I converted from an empty cargo shell into a full campervan — framing, insulation, cabinetry, 12V electrical, plumbing, and trim. Everything had to be square, solid, and actually work, with no contractor to hand it off to.\n\nThe day-to-day work looks like this: furniture assembly, TV and shelf mounting, drywall patching and paint, light fixture and faucet swaps, doors that stick or won't latch, small carpentry, and general repairs around the house. I also do my own welding and automotive work, so odd metal fixes and mounting problems don't scare me off.\n\nI bring my own tools, show up when I say I will, and clean up after myself. Small jobs welcome — that's usually where I do my best work.
Window Shutter Repair questions, answered by experts
Not all windows are suitable for shutters, as certain styles can prevent them from functioning correctly. It's best to avoid installing shutters on bay windows, picture windows, dormer windows, and double-mulled windows. Shutters are better suited for large, full-size standard windows or French doors.
Additionally, consider the room's lighting needs. Since shutters effectively block light, they are an excellent choice for rooms where you want more darkness and privacy, such as a master bedroom or a main living room. For window types that are not ideal for functional shutters, some homeowners choose to install fixed (non-functional) shutters to maintain a consistent look across the home.
Shutters are still very common in Southern, farmhouse, and traditional-style homes, especially those in warm climates who can benefit from the increased efficiency. While modern homes and designs tend to shy away from shutters, shutters are a timeless design style that will likely be around for decades to come.
The most popular estate shutter brands include Hunter Douglas, Budget Blinds®, and Graber®. Hunter Douglas shutters cost $20 to $26 per square foot and include high-quality hardwood and faux wood options. Budget Blinds shutters cost $20 to $24 per square foot, depending on if you choose natural wood or another material. Depending on the material, Graber shutters range from $18 to $24 per square foot.
The average shutter is designed to last 20 to 25 years. Proper maintenance for the type of shutters you have is essential for helping them reach their full potential.
Plantation shutters cost an average of $2,990, making them one of the pricier shutter options. However, they offer a 75% return on your investment and are great options for boosting curb appeal and property value. Most people go for plantation shutters for their timeless, vintage look. They also provide the strongest light blocking and temperature control for your home.
