I am the son of Gaylon Kerr, a well known high-end builder in Lubbock. I was employed by him from 1984 until 1991 then upon his retirement I began my Handyman service. I have 2 neighborhood cul-de-sacs where I work for every home on the street. I have ONLY very happy customers whom are truly now close friends. I can provide many many references. I have worked for 25 years from word of mouth (from my excellent work) and absolutely No advertising done. I am very timely and meticulous. I am dependable and trusted. I know people in the know at businesses all over town and have a healthy reputation. I run my business casually and friendly with no stress, fears, or misunderstandings. I do everything from painting to hardware to pinstriping your car. Bee hive removal and repair ? Been there and done that. ... a few times ! I DO work 100% on my own, however I do have some helpers that I call when I could use a stunt-double. Get on my list... I'm all yours for the entire punch-list without my having to re-list you for other chores.

Fence Defender in Lubbock, TX offers premium staining services, using state of the art equipment to beautify and protect your investment. Our professionally licensed crews hold an Applicators Certificate awarded to companies who have successfully completed professional training courses. We are featured annually on properties in the Lubbock Parade of Homes. WHY STAIN? When you leave wood surfaces unprotected, the natural oils are leeched out by the elements, causing it to turn gray and form mildew on the surface. Result? An ugly, gray fence, certain to warp, split, rot and age prematurely.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.

Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It’s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs.

Yes, some rotting porch posts can be repaired rather than replaced. The decision to repair or replace a post depends on the severity of the rot; the same is true when deciding what type of repair to do, if you go that route. Repairing a porch post is usually cheaper than replacing it, but if the majority of the post is rotted, you should opt for replacement.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.
