Handyman in Charleston and Goose Creek,SC gives some tips about home repair. Loose or Baggy Clothing – Avoid wearing anything that may get caught up in any power tools you may be using. These can include clothing, jewellery or even shoes with laces not tightened properly.

If you have claustrophobic tendencies, you might want to take note of this common home repair. Sometimes, doors getting stuck really scare me more than they bother me, so I followed this simple trick. Cut a piece of thin cardboard in the size of your door shims, and insert it between the actual door shim and your door hinge. Screw the parts back and voila! Problem solved.

Warm weather and blue skies means a lot of traipsing in and out of your house. And if you have a screen door to allow fresh breezes to flow through, that also means a lot of banging and noise as it slams closed. Just dab a couple of short beads of silicone caulk along the inner door jamb where it hits and let dry with the door open. The silicone pads will help quiet the racket. Living around a bunch of wood furniture or in a house with a hardwood floor means that dents and deep marks will eventually happen. But there’s a novel way to remove those dents without resorting to power tools: a household iron. Put a little water in the dent, then lay a moist towel over the it. Heat up your iron and then move it over the towel in circles, pressing down on it for a few minutes. The heat and water should rehydrate the wood, allowing it to puff back up.

Clean your window wells to avoid breakage from water pressure, Window wells are great for letting natural light into your basement and providing ventilation. They also keep soil away from your window fixtures, but they can put your basement at risk if they’re not looked after. Leaves and other debris can clog the drainage pipe, and after extended rainfall, the water pressure against your basement window will be intense.If you don’t clean the drainage, the water pressure can smash the glass and pour gallons of water inside. So, make sure you’re using a shorthanded shovel, a snake, or just your hands to pull out any blockages from the pipe.
