A homeowner in rural Waller County asked us to remove all of the old and breaking vinyl siding on his ranch style house and replace it will all new Hardie materials. And since we love a challenge, we gladly jumped at the chance. This house gave us the opportunity to show off the differences between vinyl and Hardie products, including siding, soffit, fascia, window and door trim, and their extra large ceilings on their large front porch. As you can see, the old vinyl siding was warping, cracking, and falling off of the walls; the vinyl soffits and ceilings were stretched and sagging. This old vinyl siding was the OLD style with only the flat blue foam sheathing underneath it, which is always a concern because that foam has a very low perm rating, which means it is like wrapping your studs in Saran Wrap so moisture inside your walls cannot get out. In this case, we had to tear off multiple layers of stuff, including the old siding, the blue foam sheathing, the layer of original siding that was still on the wall, and all of the underlayers behind the siding. Often houses that have had vinyl siding for long periods end up discovering that their structural wood has absorbed water and parts of it have begun to rot. So wherever we find rotting or damaged load-bearing wood, we fix it. When all the studs are repaired, only then do we begin to apply to Hardie materials.

This Lake Forest Park project transformed a former 1960s indoor swimming pool cabana into a contemporary PNW-inspired outdoor living space with a covered entertaining area and enclosed workshop. The existing pool enclosure featured a dramatic glass ceiling, expansive window walls, and a full brick fireplace, but extensive water damage required the space to be stripped back to its structural framing. The pool was infilled and the existing roof replaced, creating a new, more functional configuration centered around outdoor living. A custom outdoor kitchen anchors the space, incorporating a distinctive transition from natural rock to wood paneling, while integrated lighting, a custom fire pit, and finished sealed-concrete flooring establish a warm, durable material palette. The result is a flexible entertaining space is designed for year-round gathering and entertaining. + Architecture and Design: H2D Architecture + Design www.h2darchitects.com + Builder:Northlight Custom Builders + Photography: Cleary O’Farrell Photography

We loved updating this 1977 house giving our clients a more transitional kitchen, living room and powder bath. Our clients are very busy and didn’t want too many options. Our designers narrowed down their selections and gave them just enough options to choose from without being overwhelming. In the kitchen, we replaced the cabinetry without changing the locations of the walls, doors openings or windows. All finished were replaced with beautiful cabinets, counter tops, sink, back splash and faucet hardware. In the Master bathroom, we added all new finishes. There are two closets in the bathroom that did not change but everything else did. We.added pocket doors to the bedroom, where there were no doors before. Our clients wanted taller 36” height cabinets and a seated makeup vanity, so we were able to accommodate those requests without any problems. We added new lighting, mirrors, counter top and all new plumbing fixtures in addition to removing the soffits over the vanities and the shower, really opening up the space and giving it a new modern look. They had also been living with the cold and hot water reversed in the shower, so we also fixed that for them! In their living room, they wanted to update the dark paneling, remove the large stone from the curved fireplace wall and they wanted a new mantel. We flattened the wall, added a TV niche above fireplace and moved the cable connections, so they have exactly what they wanted. We left the wood paneling on the walls but painted them a light color to brighten up the room. There was a small wet bar between the living room and their family room. They liked the bar area but didn’t feel that they needed the sink, so we removed and capped the water lines and gave the bar an updated look by adding new counter tops and shelving. They had some previous water damage to their floors, so the wood flooring was replaced throughout the den and all connecting areas, making the transition from one room to the other completely seamless. In the end, the clients love their new space and are able to really enjoy their updated home and now plan stay there for a little longer!

KITCHEN DRAWER REPAIR — HANDYMAN KATY, TX (77494) Client: Timothy Location: Katy, TX 77494 Scope of Work: Replacing a pair of 24-inch kitchen drawer slides with heavy-duty full-extension ball-bearing hardware A kitchen drawer that sags, sticks, or drops off its track is a small thing you fight with every single day. Timothy’s had failed at the rear mounting point. We pulled the drawer and the old roller slides, including the damaged rear hardware, then installed a matched pair of 24-inch heavy-duty full-extension ball-bearing slides rated to 100 pounds.

his Burien deck project transformed a basic backyard into a stunning outdoor living space. We started by laying a solid foundation with pressure-treated framing to ensure structural stability. A weather-resistant barrier was installed beneath to prevent moisture damage and enhance longevity. The deck surface was crafted with high-performance composite decking, offering a sleek, modern appearance with minimal maintenance required. A custom wrap-around design was integrated, expanding functionality and creating multiple entertaining zones. Sturdy steps and seamless edging provided a polished, finished look. The project was completed with a stylish planter box, blending natural elements into the design while maximizing outdoor comfort. The result is a high-end deck built to withstand the elements while elevating the home’s curb appeal and usability. This Burien deck renovation showcases expert craftsmanship and high-quality materials, making it the perfect spot for relaxation and gatherings.

Nestled in the culinary hearts of several Singaporean homes were kitchen cabinets crying out for revival. The Pro-Handy team responded with the "Revive & Thrive" initiative, a detailed venture dedicated to restoring the former glory of weary kitchen storage units, turning sagging shelves and creaking doors into the pride of the kitchen. Each kitchen narrated a different story and presented unique challenges - from aged hinges whispering tales of frequent use, to water-damaged wood recounting incidents of spills and overflows. Our specialists embarked on each repair odyssey with a keen diagnostic gaze, identifying issues imperceptible to the untrained eye. The restoration process was an artful orchestration of carpentry, painting, and restructuring. Loose screws were tightened, lost fixtures replaced, and unhinged doors respectfully repositioned. Where the wood was beyond repair, our craftsmen seamlessly integrated new, high-quality materials, ensuring consistency with the original aesthetics. But the project transcended mere repairs. It was about reinvigorating a space of warmth and family memories. The team maximized functionality through minor adjustments, optimizing storage space without compromising the kitchen's original charm. The culmination saw cabinets standing tall - sturdy, functional, and rejuvenated. "Revive & Thrive" concluded with clients reacquainting themselves with their transformed kitchen spaces. The Pro-Handy touch had not just repaired but also breathed new life into each kitchen, reigniting the joy of cooking and the comfort of gathering in a space not just restored, but truly revived.

In the Champions area, this home didn’t need a full exterior overhaul—just strategic, high‑value improvements. The original real‑wood fascia and soffit were still in great condition overall, so instead of replacing everything, we focused on repairing only the few sections showing deterioration. This preserved the home’s character while keeping the project cost‑efficient. On the back garage wall, the bottom two feet of siding had taken on moisture damage over time. We removed the compromised material and installed new smooth Hardie siding as an overlay, creating a clean, durable upgrade that blends seamlessly with the existing exterior and adds long-term protection against Houston’s humidity. To complete the transformation, we painted the entire house and garage with Sherwin‑Williams Latitude, a premium exterior coating engineered for Houston’s heat, UV exposure, and sudden storms. The result is a fresh, uniform finish built to last for years. A smart, targeted approach—repair what’s solid, upgrade where it matters, and finish with a high‑performance paint—gave this Champions home a renewed look without unnecessary expense. If your home in Champions or Northwest Houston needs exterior repairs, siding upgrades, or a full repaint, contact Deskins Siding & Exteriors today. Let’s protect your home and elevate its curb appeal with solutions built for Houston’s climate.
