Questions and Answers
My wooden fence in Franklin keeps leaning after storms—what can Russell's Handyman Services do about it?
Leaning fences are a common issue in Franklin due to heavy rains and soil shifting. At Russell's Handyman Services, we inspect the posts and concrete footings to see if they've loosened or rotted. For most leaning fences, we can set new pressure-treated posts and rebrace the panels to restore stability. If only a few posts are affected, we'll replace those and pack the holes with gravel and concrete for better drainage. We serve neighborhoods near downtown Franklin and the Blackwater River area, so we're familiar with the local soil conditions.
Do you install gas ranges and cooktops in Franklin homes?
Yes, we install gas and electric ranges, cooktops, and stoves. Our team handles the full connection, including hooking up gas lines or hardwiring electric units, and testing the burners and oven functions. We also remove your old appliance and haul it away if needed. This service is available in Franklin, Suffolk, Isle of Wight, and Emporia. If you're near the Franklin Municipal Airport or along Route 58, just give us a call.
Can you repair a leaking bathtub faucet in an older home near downtown Franklin?
Absolutely. Older homes in and around downtown Franklin often have galvanized pipes or outdated fixtures that can leak. We'll replace worn washers, cartridges, or the entire faucet if necessary. We can also check for underlying pipe corrosion and make any needed repairs. Russell's Handyman Services has experience with historic homes in the area near Main Street and the Franklin Historic District, so we know how to work with those setups without causing damage.
