🚨 Handy Andy PSA! 🚨
A quick tip that could save you a lot of headaches (and money).
I don’t offer warranties on plumbing fixtures or ceiling fans purchased from Amazon or other off brands. Over the years, I’ve seen far too many quality control issues with these products. While some work just fine, I’ve had enough failures that I simply can’t stand behind them (only my work).
If you’re trying to stay on a budget, I completely understand. Instead of Amazon, I’d recommend checking out Home Depot or Lowe’s. They both carry affordable faucets, shower fixtures, and ceiling fans that are generally much more reliable, and if there is an issue, returns and warranty claims are usually much easier.
Sometimes spending just a little more upfront can save you from paying twice for installation.
As always, if you’re not sure what to buy, feel free to ask before you purchase. I’m happy to point you toward products that have treated my customers well over the years.
A few more projects from this week! 🔧
That light fixture didn’t just “fall.” The wrong ceiling brace was installed, and it simply wasn’t designed to support the weight. I replaced it with a heavy-duty steel brace rated for up to 50 pounds, so it’s now safe and secure.
Ceiling fan season is always in full swing! I installed a few different styles this week, and they all turned out great. Whether you’re after modern, farmhouse, or something in between, there’s a fan to fit your home. Just remember, it’s not all about looks. Proper size, placement, and airflow make a huge difference in keeping your home comfortable.
Grab bars aren’t just for seniors! They should honestly be standard in every home. Wet tile doesn’t care how old you are. A well-placed grab bar can prevent a nasty fall, and they come in styles that look great while adding peace of mind.
And finally… don’t forget your A/C filter! The last photo shows one that had definitely seen better days. A dirty filter makes your system work harder, reduces airflow, and can shorten the life of your HVAC system. It’s one of the easiest and cheapest maintenance items you can do to help keep your home comfortable.
