Fun and Focused: Improve Rooms for Kids!

School is back in session!  The kids are starting a new year of learning and that means, of course, a new year of homework.  We can greatly impact the way our children learn and their success by providing them with a designated study area that is tidy and focused.  In fact, we may as well improve the whole bedroom while we’re at it!

Provide a Study Space

Many children have a hard time focusing when it comes to homework because they tend to study in areas full of distractions, like the living room or kitchen.  Create a quiet area that is separate from any other commotion in the house.  A simple desk in the bedroom will allow the little scholar to remove any distractions and will essentially “force” them to focus on the task at hand.  Mr. Handyman can design a custom carpentry solution for this purpose or assist you with troublesome furniture assembly.

Make Organization Easier

Does it ever feel like picking up after the kids is an uphill battle?  We know the feeling.  Make it easy for kids to organize toys and clothes and save yourself from some of the daily clean up duty.  Use organization tools and discuss their purpose with the kids.  Designate certain drawers/cubbies for certain things until everything has a home.  If everything has a place, there should be no excuses at clean up time!  Mr. Handyman can install closet organizers to make everyone’s chore list a little easier.

Make the Most of Wall Space

Give a child’s bedroom personality and functionality with fun organizational tools like shelving and hooks.  Let the little one display their prized items on unique shelves or hang items of everyday use (like a backpack) on hooks with a fun design.

Three Fantastic Summer Projects for the Home

The kids are home from school and Valley residents are looking for improvements that will make their home a more enjoyable place to spend their summer.  Often, summer greets us with frequent visits from family and friends, so it’s time to make your home a place that you can truly be proud of.  Mr. Handyman can assist with all your major and minor home repairs as well as those add-ons you’ve been considering.  You don’t have to put these summer projects off any longer: Mr. Handyman can get the hard work done for you!  Here are a few ideas to make your summertime spectacular.

Install a Deck:  Looking for a way to use that extra space in the yard that will be both useful and visually appealing?  Installing a deck is an excellent way to refine the look of your yard and provide a commodious space for family and guests to interact and relax.  With proper maintenance, a deck will significantly increase the value of your home and last for many summers!  Mr. Handyman of Gilbert can take care of installing a beautiful new deck or perform routine maintenance on your existing deck such as cleaning and sealing.

Organize the Closet:  Let’s face it – most of us aren’t too proud of the condition of our closets.  And the closet in Junior’s room?  Don’t even go there.  Not to worry, Mr. Handyman can install organizers that will make daily use and categorization a breeze.  Add organizers to every closet in your home for a cost-effective solution that will give even the kids an easy avenue for maintaining a clean room!  Discover the accessibility and versatility of your closet with the assistance of a professional handyman.

Tile Installation:  If you’ve been in your home for a few years, it’s likely that the carpet has started to show some wear.  Instead of renting the steam cleaner again, consider installing tile.  Tile is a great solution to high-traffic areas where carpet accrues dirt, stains, and general wear.  Tile is both stylish and easy to clean, and will create an entirely different atmosphere for the surrounding area.  Mr. Handyman will install and clean your tile and grout, leaving you with a chic, clean living space that impresses your guests and forgives those ‘spilt milk’ incidents.

Whatever your summertime projects may be, Mr. Handyman can assist you with professional home repairs and services that showcase your living space.  


Let Mr. Handyman of Gilbert transform your home into a hub for summertime fun!
