Are you tired of calling in a professional for every little household issue? As a handyman, I understand that sometimes all you need is a quick fix to solve those pesky problems around the house. Here are some easy solutions for common household issues that you can tackle on your own:

  1. Squeaky Door Hinges: Don't let squeaky door hinges drive you crazy. Simply spray a little WD-40 or silicone lubricant on the hinges to silence the squeak and keep your doors swinging smoothly.

  2. Sticky Drawers: Is that kitchen drawer sticking every time you try to open it? Rub a little candle wax or paraffin on the drawer slides to help them glide more easily.

  3. Loose Cabinet Handles: Tighten up loose cabinet handles with a screwdriver. If the screw holes are stripped, fill them with toothpicks or wooden dowels coated in wood glue before reattaching the handles.

  4. Flickering Light Bulbs: If you have light bulbs that flicker or seem to burn out quickly, the issue may be with the electrical connection. Turn off the power to the fixture, then gently clean the contact points and ensure a secure connection when replacing the bulb.

  5. Wall Holes: Got a small hole in the wall from a misplaced nail or screw? Fill it in with spackling compound, smooth it out with a putty knife, and touch it up with paint to make it disappear.

Remember, with a little know-how and the right tools, many household problems can be easily solved without the need to call in a professional. However, if you ever find yourself in over your head or need help with larger projects, don't hesitate to give us a call!
