Two totally refreshed bathroom remodels take center stage in this St. Louis Park home. The homeowners loved their 1968 split level home and its unique period features. It was a well-built custom home with gorgeous maple trim and oak floors throughout. However, the main bathroom had water damage to the sub-floor that needed to be replaced. The owners decided to go ahead and update the rest of the bathroom at the same time, taking care of other items they had long wanted to do. For example, the plumbing was outdated, and the shower didn’t drain well. They also hoped for a wood vanity that would match the rest of the home, in look and era, and wished the previous homeowners hadn’t painted the original. As the couple discussed the remodel, they ultimately decided to take the plunge and take advantage of work being done in the home and update both the main floor bathroom and the master bathroom at the same time. Tackling both projects at once made sense for project efficiency, both in time and budget, and they are thrilled to now each have “their own” new bathroom!

BRICK & DRYWALL REPAIR — HANDYMAN KATY TO HOUSTON, TX (77064) Client: Doug Location: Houston, TX 77064 Scope of Work: Replacing 10 to 12 cracked front-facing bricks, plus drywall crack, nail pop, and garage ceiling seam repairs throughout the home Settling shows up in two places: the brick out front and the ceilings inside. Doug had both. Xavier and his co-worker started outside, carefully removing the damaged brick and mortar, setting replacement bricks, repointing the surrounding joints, and tooling the mortar to match the existing profile as closely as possible. Front-facing brickwork is unforgiving. Everyone who walks up to the house sees it. Inside, they worked through roughly 8 joint and corner cracks, 4 to 6 nail pops, and 25 to 30 linear feet of seam cracking across the garage ceiling. Loose compound and failing tape removed, drywall re-secured where movement had pulled it, seams retaped, multiple coats of compound, sanded and blended, texture matched, then primed and painted to blend. Doug, thank you for having us back. Repeat customers are the best review a crew can get. And thank you for the 5-star review! Glad Xavier and the team took care of you. Settling cracks in your brick or ceilings in Katy or Houston? Text a handyman a photo and we’ll respond same day.

This transitional bathroom renovation updated a previously remodeled bathroom in an 1890 Lincoln, Massachusetts home while preserving its historic character. The homeowners considered removing the original built-in tub but chose to keep it and surround it with crisp white subway tile for a brighter, more modern look. The same tile was carried into the walk-in shower to create a cohesive design, complemented by the room’s warm wood trim and hardwood flooring. During construction, we discovered outdated wiring and rotted wood around the windows. The wiring was updated, the damaged wood was replaced and new windows were installed. The finished bathroom blends modern comfort and functionality with the craftsmanship and architectural integrity of this beautiful historic home.

Our client contacted us as she was looking to update her kitchen while still maintaining the original layout. There were also several cabinets that were damaged beyond repair, so installing new cabinetry was the best solution for her. She also wanted to replace the existing wall pantry with a pantry that offered her more cabinets and storage space. All the new cabinets were done in a white shaker door. We also installed some glass door cabinets. Next we installed a quartz countertop with a gray base with white veins for contrast called London Gray. To finish the new look we added a quartz backsplash in London Gray and two floating shelves in place of an old wall cabinet. This new look gives more harmony to the whole view of the kitchen.

Now that the man of the house is retired and spends more time in his Ladue, MO home office, he noticed the need for an updated bathroom, a better-organized closet, and he really wanted to open the shutters and let the light in, but he needed to protect the artwork from sun damage. It was time to refresh. After relocating the entry between the office and closet to gain more space in the bathroom, the original wood floors were uncovered and refinished. A seagrass cloth wallpaper gives the office a dignified, masculine air. Built-in shelving provides storage and display, making the office clutter-free and casually professional. The replacement windows have low-e glass to block UV rays, and louvered double-hung shutters further control lighting. Now that the sun can shine in, there’s relaxing views to the backyard.

The roof has undergone a comprehensive repair, starting with the removal of the old shingles. The old roof deck was then re-sheeted to provide a solid base for the new roof. Finally, new Owens Corning shingles were installed to give the roof a refreshed and updated look. This repair process has effectively rejuvenated the roof, providing long-lasting protection and durability. The new shingles not only enhance the roof's appearance but also deliver the reliable performance and quality that Owens Corning is known for. This roof repair ensures that the home is protected for years to come and adds to its overall value.
