Patio Door Replacement – From Rotted French Doors to a Clean, Secure Upgrade ✨
This home’s old French doors had severe rot, air leakage, and water infiltration. The framing and subfloor beneath were also damaged from years of moisture. We removed the failing unit and installed a brand-new insulated sliding patio door with built-in blinds — bringing better energy efficiency, smoother operation, and a major visual upgrade.
What we did:
✔️ Removed rotted French doors and damaged trim
✔️ Repaired the subflooring and prepped the opening
✔️ Installed a new insulated sliding patio door
✔️ Air-sealed and insulated the entire perimeter
✔️ Installed new exterior flashing for proper water protection
✔️ Prepped interior drywall & trim areas for finishing
The difference speaks for itself — brighter, tighter, and built to last.
If your doors are drafty, sticking, or showing signs of rot, we can replace them the right way.

Shed Assembly in Sandy Springs, GA
Professional Shed Assembly and Installation You Can Rely On ?️
At Handyman Expert, we recently completed a shed assembly in Sandy Springs, GA for one of our valued clients. The project involved the installation of an ABSCO Premier 10×10 ft. metal shed, perfectly fitted on an already prepared concrete base. Our team started by carefully sorting and organizing all shed components, ensuring a smooth and efficient assembly process from start to finish.
Once the walls were assembled, we constructed the full frame directly on the concrete pad, securely attaching the roof panels and strengthening the entire structure with concrete anchors for long-term durability. To guarantee full protection from moisture, we sealed all screw holes and roof joints with high-quality silicone. After completing the installation, we cleaned the area thoroughly — leaving the job site spotless and the client completely satisfied.

SMART CAMERA & KEYPAD INSTALL — HANDYMAN KATY, TX (77494)
Client: Brittany
Location: Katy, TX 77494
Scope of Work: myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad, two myQ cameras, plus a cabinet LED strip, organizer assembly, and a Christmas tree repair
Smart home gear is easy to buy and a lot less easy to mount into brick. Brittany had the equipment. We handled the part that involves a masonry bit and a ladder.
We walked the property with her first to pick camera angles, then mounted the exterior myQ camera on the garage, drilled through brick for the power run, routed and secured the wiring, and sealed the exterior penetration against moisture. Second camera went inside the garage, wiring secured along the wall. Then the myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad at the exterior door, paired and programmed to her opener.
Every unit tested before we left: cameras live, keypad working, garage door cycling right.
While we were there we also installed an LED strip above her kitchen cabinets, assembled a bamboo bottle organizer, and repaired a decorative Christmas tree.
Brittany, thank you for having our Katy handyman crew out and for trusting us with the drilling.
And thank you for the 5-star review! Helpful and friendly is exactly what we’re after.
Smart cameras, keypads, or a mixed list in Katy? Text a handyman a photo and we’ll respond same day.

Due to its deteriorating condition, the asphalt roll roofing on this ADU required replacement before the Fall rains. Asphalt roll roofing generally lasts only 5-10 years, leading to ongoing maintenance challenges. The original 1×10 sheathing showed significant sagging in several spots, resulting in standing water not suitable for asphalt. Additionally, there was a complete absence of ventilation after improper installation of R-21 fiberglass insulation, leaving no air gap between the sheathing and insulation. A noticeable hump along the center of the roof indicated that the load-bearing wall had been supporting that section since construction, contributing to light sagging between the walls.
The old roof was completely removed down to the joists, revealing a solid base for the new installation. The central hump was eliminated by shaving the high point along that line. 2×6 beams were ripped in half then nailed on top of the existing joists, creating a 1.5″ gap for insulation and providing strong attachment points for the OSB sheathing, which was secured with screws to prevent any potential issues with nail heads popping through over the roof’s expected lifespan of over 50 years. The EPDM membrane was then adhered using glue and contact cement along the edges of each sheet, with the ends folded over the roof edges and secured with termination bars. Drip edge flashing was added and taped to ensure a water-tight seal, and EPDM-safe caulking was applied over the seams for additional protection. Finally, all exposed wood was primed and painted.
The new roof features a 60mil commercial-grade EPDM rubber membrane, offering a lifespan exceeding 50 years, in stark contrast to the 5-10 year lifespan of asphalt roll roofing.
Using two sheets of EPDM for installation streamlined the process, resulting in one single seam across the entire roof, compared to the asphalt roll’s dimensions of 3 feet wide by 33 feet long, which created 8 vertical seams and 9 horizontal seams—significantly increasing the risk of leakage and failure. Wrapping the rubber over the edge of the roof effectively addressed concerns about water infiltration at the edges, an issue prevalent with the asphalt and drip edge interface.
Another benefit to removing the splitting 1×10 decking and replacing it with OSB sheathing is the increase in structural integrity, moisture resistance, longevity and consistency.
The project successfully transformed the ADU’s roof from a maintenance-prone asphalt roll system to a highly durable 60mil EPDM rubber membrane. By addressing critical structural issues, including sagging sheathing and inadequate ventilation, the team ensured that the new roof not only offers superior water resistance and longevity but also meets higher performance standards for insulation and durability. The replacement process eliminated common weak points, such as numerous seams and poor edge sealing, which were vulnerabilities in the old roofing system. The result is a streamlined, secure installation that provides peace of mind and long-term value, with a lifespan extending well beyond the original roof.
