Maintenance tips

Change your AC filter every month in summer

In South Florida the air conditioner runs most of the year. A clean filter keeps the air fresher, lowers your power bill and helps prevent a frozen coil. Write the filter size on the vent cover so it is easy to buy the right one.

Look under your sinks once a month

Open the cabinet and feel the pipes and the floor of the cabinet. A small drip found early is a quick fix. A slow leak left for months can ruin the cabinet.

Test your GFCI outlets

Press TEST on the outlets in your kitchen, bathrooms and outside, then press RESET. If an outlet does not click off and back on, it should be replaced.

Check the caulk around tubs and showers

Cracked or moldy caulk lets water behind the tile. Recaulking is usually a short job and keeps the wall behind it dry.

Before storm season, check doors and windows

Make sure doors latch tightly, hinges are snug and window locks work. It is a good time to tighten loose handles and replace worn weatherstripping.

Project guides

Replacing a kitchen faucet

Take a photo of your faucet and the holes in your sink, and count them (1, 2 or 3). That tells you which faucets will fit. With our photo price, you can buy the faucet at Home Depot, add Handy Pros as the pickup person, and we bring it and install it. Labor for a faucet is usually one hour: $237.

Mounting a TV safely

Most TVs should go into wall studs, not just drywall. Measure the TV, decide how high you want it (the middle of the screen at about eye level when seated), and plan where the power cord will go. See TV mounting.

Hanging pictures and shelves

Lay your frames on the floor first and take a photo of the layout you like. Heavy mirrors and loaded shelves need anchors rated for the weight or a stud. See pictures and shelves.

When to call a pro

Call us for anything involving wiring, water lines you cannot shut off, ladders above your comfort level, or heavy items on walls. If you get stuck, call (561) 486-6812.
