3 Ways to Improve the Living Room

The living room is a significant and meaningful place in your home.  Families often use the living room to entertain guests, play games, watch television, and socialize.  For many homes, the family room is one of the busiest places in the house.  Mr. Handyman wants to help you transform your living room into an area that is useful, inviting, and enjoyable.  Here are some of the ways we can enhance your living area:

Shelving Units

Both practical and aesthetically pleasant, shelving units should be an integral part of every living area.  If there are children in your home, shelving units can house games, family pictures, and even toys.  Mr. Handyman can design a custom carpentry solution for your shelving needs, leaving some areas open to display and others concealed by cabinet doors.  Now, the coloring books that the kids drag out after dinner every night can be easily accessed, but still hidden.  If there are no children in your home, consider using shelving to display prized knick knacks, picture frames, books, or plants.  No matter the ages of your residents, make the shelves your own!  A custom shelving solution from Mr. Handyman will give your living room personality and functionality.

Decorative Molding

No matter what type of home you live in, decorative molding can enhance the look of a room and make a statement of class and refinement.  Owners can choose to have molding installed where the wall meets the ceiling or along the floor, depending on the desired effect.  Molding is often white, making it easy to accent whatever color is currently on the walls.  Styles of molding range from intricate and ornate to plain and modest – regardless, the molding will enhance the environment of any room and provide a subtle touch of elegance.  Mr. Handyman can work with you to decide which style of molding best suits your living room and perform an expert installation, leaving your home tasteful and polished.

Mantel Installation

The mantel serves as the focal point of a living area.  Don’t have a fireplace?  That’s ok!  Mr. Handyman can help you choose a place for the mantel that will highlight the living area and allow you to display plants, pictures, or objects of sentimental value.  A mantel gives the living area much more charisma and will make it an inviting place to entertain guests or spend family time.  Add your individual personality through the type of material, style, and color of your mantel piece.  Don’t worry – we’ll install it!

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.
