šØ Handy Andy PSA! šØ
A quick tip that could save you a lot of headaches (and money).
I donāt offer warranties on plumbing fixtures or ceiling fans purchased from Amazon or other off brands. Over the years, Iāve seen far too many quality control issues with these products. While some work just fine, Iāve had enough failures that I simply canāt stand behind them (only my work).
If youāre trying to stay on a budget, I completely understand. Instead of Amazon, Iād recommend checking out Home Depot or Loweās. 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 youāre not sure what to buy, feel free to ask before you purchase. Iām happy to point you toward products that have treated my customers well over the years.
A few more projects from this week! š§
That light fixture didnāt just āfall.ā The wrong ceiling brace was installed, and it simply wasnāt designed to support the weight. I replaced it with a heavy-duty steel brace rated for up to 50 pounds, so itās 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 youāre after modern, farmhouse, or something in between, thereās a fan to fit your home. Just remember, itās not all about looks. Proper size, placement, and airflow make a huge difference in keeping your home comfortable.
Grab bars arenāt just for seniors! They should honestly be standard in every home. Wet tile doesnāt 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⦠donāt 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. Itās one of the easiest and cheapest maintenance items you can do to help keep your home comfortable.
